Note from Chef Mary on Meal Planning
(Contributor: Mary Eastridge, Vickie Tuttle)
To celebrate hopefully some fantastic weather this weekend, our resident Chef's Jim and Mary Eastridge have decided to have an old fashion Western BBQ with Grilled Burgers. Since Halloween is coming she thought it would be fun to adorn ourselves in Western Hats and Scarves. So…if you feel inclined and have the get-up or hats, please spread the words to parents and volunteers to wear their Cowboy Best for the day or at least the dinner hour! It will be fun to get everybody in the spirit and have a great evening
Picture of the week
(Contributor: Joe Gottsch, Jesse Seeley)
Lined up and ready to go at last week’s victory performance at the PCI! To view this picture and MANY more, Joe Gottsch’s Web site at WestSidePhoto.net. Visiting is FREE! Why not purchase your favorite one from the site to say Thanks Joe. The price is right! SPECIAL OFFER: Provide Jesse Seeley a receipt of any pictures purchased on Joe’s site, and you will get a free CD of the video of the PCI Performance (mentioned in the below article on the video).
Link to Video of last Week’s PCI Preliminary Performance
(Contributor: Jim McKinnel and Kevin Beckstrom)
At last week’s PCI Preliminary Performance there was a couple of good recordings made. Thanks to the efforts of parent Jim McKinnel, he has successfully transferred this to a QuickTime format movie. The sound is actually very good—not sure how he got it that way, but you can hear a sample of what is to come at this weekend’s performance. Thanks to the efforts of our very own Web master Kevin Beckstrom, he has placed this on the WSHS Music Booster website. As most of you should know the Titan Music website is: http://homepage.mac.com/titanmusic/ -- look toward the bottom for NEW MOV file of West's performance at PCI. It's a large file (13 Mbytes), so it may take some time to download if you are viewing it over the Internet. But as a fundraiser for the Band Boosters, Jesse will personally make you a CD of the video for your own PC. Send e-mail to Jesse@hp.com with the subject line WSHS PCI CD. I will have them available shortly after your request, so I can have them available as soon as the next day. Contribute what you want ($5?) to and give the check to one of the co-chairs (Kami Hettwer or Vickie Tuttle) or if you know me, give it to me. Make checks out to WSHS Band Boosters. The video is much better detail off of the CD, so think donating and getting something in return.
