    Music Needs Your Help!

    Dear music parents, 

    Taylor has a wonderful music program thanks to teacher Amanda Negrete, who works endless days coordinating lots of moving parts and teaching the students. Every year she also relies on a dedicated group of parents who volunteer their time and efforts to help her. We are asking all Taylor music parents to help keep this volunteer group going this year.  As the saying goes, "many hands make light work."  

    

    The main goals of the music parent volunteer group is to help with fundraising and concerts. The Winter Concert is fast approaching on December 10th at Mills High School. Ms. Amanda would truly appreciate help from volunteers to help set up, sell concessions, and other tasks during the concert. Please e-mail if you're interested in helping out with the concert or other activities during the year. We also hope to find some parent leads to help with organizing volunteer events. If you're interested, let us know!

    

    Please e-mail us using the button below to get connected. Let's work together to provide a great year to our music students. Looking forward to hearing from you!

    

    Musically,
    Taylor Music parents
