Volunteer Opportunities!!  We NEED you!!

Please take a look at the volunteer needs for the next few months at the choir signup link http://signup.com/go/VBWvzSE and for quick reference, the list below. The actual time required for most of these events is so small, and it's true that "many hands make light work." Volunteering at the concerts is especially easy. If you are attending anyway, please consider coming a little early to feed the kids, hand out programs or sell concessions. You are still able to fully enjoy the concerts. 

Upcoming events where volunteers are needed
  • Tuesday, February 26 (time TBA): OSU Choir Festival (CT only), chaperones needed
  • Tuesday, March 5 (7 pm at West): Intermediate Choral Festival (Cantare & MIB), check-in & ushers needed
  • Wednesday, March 6 (time TBA at West): Choral concert with visiting Concordia College. Food servers, Ticket sales & Ushers needed
  • Wednesday, March 13 (7 pm at West): March Choir Concert (all choirs), pizza servers, concessions & ushers needed
Also, please "like" the choir page on Facebook - West Salem High School Choir

Thank you for making time to help make our choir program a success!
Warmly,
Kristi May
Volunteer Coordinator
Concordia Choir Concert

Wednesday, March 6, WSHS is hosting the Concordia Choir from Moorhead Minn. They are SPECTACULAR! Choir of the Titans and South Salem Symphonic Choir will perform in this concert. This is a ticketed event.  Unfortunately, sponsors are not eligible for their usual seating for this event.  We need parents to help.  We need to feed the Choirs dinner that evening and will need ushers.  Please check sign-ups for your opportunity to help. Tickets can be purchased:
