As a benefit for the dance department, flowers will be for sale before dance concert and during intermission.  Help support the dance department and send your special dancer a bouquet.  Buy single roses for a dollar or two and bouquets starting at $5.

Please meet at the Louisville International Airport in front of the Delta Departure Counter at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 2.   You will be excused from school the entire day.  

For those attending festival. Here's the email I just received. I assume you received the same. Let me know if you have questions. 

Please sign up to bring something and/or to volunteer for the Dance Concert Reception taking place February 26, 27 and 28.  
The current Freshman Dance Majors & Parents are asked to "take the lead" on this event, but we encourage ALL Dance Majors to participate as we need lots of food donations (easy), some financial assistance (if you don't have time to make or purchase something) and of course volunteers (both parents & students) to set-up, usher, sell flower bouquets and clean-up.  Seniors are asked to bring water bottles. Sophomores and Juniors are asked to bring desserts.  Freshmen are asked to bring appetizers.
Please feel free to sign-up and bring duplicate food items - we hope to have 200+ guests attend each Dance Concert performance!  Please tell us what food item you are bringing in the comment section of the "sign-up" page so we can see what items to expect!  We need lots of great goodies - thank you!
