The Jazz Dinner Dance and Silent Auction

A Night of Big Band Music and Dancing

Saturday, March 8, 2008 beginning at 6 pm

 

Plans are underway for our 7th Annual Jazz Dinner and Silent Auction in the Summit Commons featuring music from the Wester MS Jazz Band, the Summit HS Jazz Ensemble and also the University of Texas at Arlington Jazz Orchestra! 

 

Here is the tentative schedule of events for the evening:

 

6:00pm           Doors open and Silent Auction viewing begins

                        Serving lines open

                        All food donated by Spring Creek Barbeque

 

6:30                Wester Jazz Band performs—Nathan Wood, director

 

7:00                Summit Jazz Ensemble performs—Brad Bonebrake, director

 

8:30 to 9:30   UTA Jazz Orchestra performs

 

Several committees are currently working on this event but we there are several ways you can help in the following areas:

 

Silent Auction—help solicit local businesses for donations

Theme Baskets—help your student make a purchase of small items assigned to their section’s basket

Decorations—help with the planning and creating of the “Jazz” atmosphere

Desserts and Coffee—help this committee obtain desserts from booster parents

Publicity—help promote our event throughout the community

 

If you own a business or work at a local company that would be willing to donate items for our Silent Auction, please let us know!  If that is not an option, please consider supporting this event by donating a gift card or possibly a service such as lawn care, babysitting or meal preparation.  These, we have discovered, are high demand items at our Auction!

 

Students, we are asking you to help in making our auction a success by donating items that will be combined in a “Section Basket”.  Each section will receive a particular theme and the section which raises the most money at the Auction will win a pizza party!  The basket theme assignments will be distributed soon.

 

Parents, you can help make this a success by planning on attending the dinner with the rest of the family.  Ticket prices and additional information about the evening’s schedule will be coming soon.

 

Please email Barbara Griffin at Treasurer@summitband.com or Joanne Romans at JRomans@sbcglobal.net and let them know your area of interest or if you have a donation for the event. 

 

With your help we can make this another great success for the Summit Band!!
