Parent volunteers needed for Father's Day Concert

We are planning to hold a Father’s Day concert for all bands to perform on Thursday 29 August. It will be very similar to the Easter Band Breakfast and will be held before school in the school hall.

We are looking for volunteers both for an hour or two on the day, and to assist with the organisation beforehand including:

• preparation & shopping for the kitchen team;
• creating advertisements for Newsflash;
• creating a powerpoint for display on the big screen during the concert; and
• leading the clean-up team after the concert.

If you are available to volunteer (or would like to know more about what is involved), please email band@artarmonpandc.org.au with your name and a contact phone number.
