Its hard to believe we've starting working on music for the holiday concert! We set the bar extremely high with our fall concert. Now is the time to refocus and work for an even more amazing Holiday Concert.

Tomorrow students in Orange & Blue Singers will perform the National Anthem at the football game vs. Shawnee Mission South. Because Cates and Ms. Willbanks came to OE from SMS we'd love to have a GIGANTIC Choir to perform. O & B Singers has agreed to allow ANY OE choir member who would like to join them for their performance tomorrow. We will show the Raiders how its done! Arrive at 6:15p and wear orange and blue. If you tell the ticket takers at the gate you are with the choir they will let you in free.

SAMPLE PATRON LETTER
Hello From Olathe East Choir’s
We are so excited to start another great year, and are off to a great start learning new music! For those of you who have not heard we have many new things at OE, starting with our new director of choirs, Dustin Cates!
This year we are starting a choir booster club for the first time ever at Olathe East. Our goals are to help raise money to fund activities for the choirs and our members. We will also use this to help some who might find it financially challenging to be involved. It’s important to us to help those who need it.
So we are starting or Hawk Choirs Sponsor program this year which I hope you will consider taking part in. Rather than selling overpriced fundraising items and only keeping a small part of the profits, we are asking for sponsors so that 100% of the money given will stay right here at Olathe East and go directly to the choir. I have included a brochure which details the sponsorship levels for you to consider. We have a lofty goal to raise $10,000, so anything you can do would be greatly appreciated. When you donate, your name will be mentioned in our concert programs. AND, if the donation is large enough, I may come over and sing you a tune personally to say thanks!
I really appreciate you reading this and hope you will consider helping us out!
Musically yours,
