To Do List – April 15 to May 18

SHDHS Cabaret
All members of the community are invited to attend South Huron District High School’s Music Department 2010 Cabaret concerts. The concerts will take place in the large gym on Saturday, April 17 at 7:00 p.m., and Sunday, April 18 at 2:00 p.m. Each day will be a totally different program.
This informal, relaxed environment will feature a variety of bands who will perform popular selections for you to enjoy. Audience members are seated at tables and are encouraged to get up, move around during the concert, visit the refreshment tables, and participate in draws for many amazing prizes donated graciously by the South Huron community, and much more. Refreshments are complimentary with the purchase of your $5.00 ticket.
Also, the SHDHS Senior Band will be premiering “The Seal Lullaby” by Los Angeles-based composer, Eric Whitacre. South Huron is lucky to be one of only twenty-five schools in North America premiering the piece!
You can buy your ticket today from any South Huron music student, or in the office at the school. For more information call Mr. Isaac Moore at the school at 519-235-0880. All proceeds from the Cabaret will go to the Music Department.
