    There are two more dates of events to  work in November and one event for December that was just added for the State  Farm Center.
    ***The December event is NCAA  Volleyball Tournament and this information could change depending on regionals  and who goes on!!!***
    Please sign-up for any event you are  interested in working.  Stand managers that have gone through training can  sign-up for the stand manager slots.  Anyone else that is at least 18  years of age or has graduated from high school can work on behalf of your  Edison Band student.  
    I will be sending this out to the  PTSA if there are those that would like to sign-up to help raise money for  any other Edison organization or the 8th grade field trip.
    If you sign-up to work an event please  email me at hlf33@hotmail.com let me know your  students first and last name or if you are working on behalf of another  organization.  Once it is close to the event I will send out information  about your event.  This will include parking pass information, dress code  and any other details.
