A message from Kathy Olson, VP of TMA and Event Coordinator for our first two concerts:
We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming music events!! Our first concerts are coming up soon and we are looking for some volunteers for the High School Band/Chorus Concert and the Junior High Band Concert. Volunteering can be as simple as dropping off food/drink, or giving a little bit of your time before/after/during the concerts to help support the TMA, which is an organization that is here to help supplement all our music programs!
Remember that we encourage Tantasqua students to volunteer too, and this is another opportunity for community/service hours. We also love it when a HighSchool parent/alumni/student volunteers to help with a JuniorHigh event, or vice versa- it truly does take a village to have a successful Music Program!
