  • In the past, we have always performed at the Chevy’s, in Almaden Plaza, for our Chevy’s fundraiser.  However, we decided to forgo the performance part of the fundraiser this year.  Chevy’s is going to provide our jazz department with a percentage of sales on Sunday, December 4th, for anyone presenting our fundraiser flyer.  They will be doing this all day on Sunday and for any sales (eat-in or carry-out).
  • So, take a break from cooking and please consider having lunch or dinner at Chevy’s on Sunday either before your student performs at Barnes and Noble or right after.  You could even place your order while your student’s band is setting up and then pickup your order before you load everyone into your car to go home.  Think of the convenience!
  • Please use these flyers with your orders and distribute them to your family and friend through the appropriate methods, ie: FB, email, etc.
