Holiday Port Date Mess up URGENT!

Dear Storm and Parents,

The Holiday Port Festival is on the calendar for the 13. This is incorrect. the festival is acutally this weekend we perform on sunday the 6th. I realize that this may be a huge inconviniance for you and I appoligise for the date mix up. If there are a signifigant number of you that are unable to go we may have to cancel. let me know as soon as you can. I will see you tonight at Cordata village.

Email from The Coats!!

Dear Storm Singers and Parents,

Upon back at school from our gig today (which went very well by the way.) I received from Doug Wisness (Mr. Wisness's Brother) of the Acappella group "The Coats" (this is the group that did the original recording of the song that Jake, Jeremiah, Alec, Nate, and a bunch of others have been singing ad-nausium in the choir room that goes "dum dum bop a doo dah")

They have invited us to sing at Benaroya Hall in Seattle in the Lobby before their performance and then receive 1/2 price tickets to get in to the show.

they would like us to be there to sing on December 11 (next Friday) from 6:30 - 7

If this were to happen we would have to leave SQHS at 4:00 or so Grab a bite on the way and be ready to perform at the show at 6:30 the show will probably go till 9:30 or so and that would put us back at 12 or so.

This is a great opportunity and I hope we can make it happen. Of course the short notice will make it difficult but who knows? Please get back to me on or before Monday.

Thanks
