One of our Conant Band Parent Club Parents, Reggie Lithgow, has been busy following the Conant Band around all year, video camera in hand. She has generously donated her time and talent to create a one of a kind video yearbook containing highlights of the 2010-2011 Conant Band. If you would like to order a copy of the DVD which will be delivered to your home this summer, complete the attached order form and return it to Mr. Moorhouse with cash or a check made out to Conant Band Parents Club. You may also use funds in your student account to pay for the DVD. The cost is $10. Reggie provided a sneak preview of the DVD at the April meeting and it's terrific! There will be footage from football game performances, concerts, and behind the scenes action. What a great keepsake-order yours today!
Reggie has also produced a 10 X 7 color photo of the 2010-2011 Conant Marching Band taken in the gym after the Fall marching band concert. An order form for your copy of the photo is also attached. Submit your order as soon as possible and you will be able to pick it up at the May concerts. The cost is $5.
