<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are you upset about the elimination of the
elementary music program? Then become part of the solution.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Donate Money to Save the Music Program<BR>If you
were at either the Ajudication Concert or the Jazz Band/Jazz Choir Concert last
week, you heard the appeal to donate money to saving the elementary music
program. If $100 were donated for every student in the music program, then the
elementary program could be completely saved! As a parent, think about the costs
of tutors, instruments, trips, camps, and you'll find that $100 is a bargain. In
fact, you will probably realize that having a band program is worth more to you
than this. So be generous, and give what you can.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The music teachers and booster groups are asking
for your support through the Davis Schools Orchestral Music Association. You can
reach the DSOMA web site at: <BR><A
href="http://groups.dcn.org/dhs-orchestras">http://groups.dcn.org/dhs-orchestras</A>
or simply return the form below with your donation, which will be directed to
saving the elementary music program. Don't delay, the district must make final
decisions on rehiring teachers on May 15th. The earlier your donation is
recorded, the earlier our four "pink-slipped" music teachers can be assured they
will have a position next year.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Donate Money to Restore All Cut
Programs.<BR>Please support the fundraising of the Davis Schools Foundation to
restore the programs cut by the district due to the current deficit. Our
students need more than music. The DSF website is at <BR><A

See their pyramid for restoring programs as they raise funds for the
district.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Enjoy a Fundraising Concert<BR>Invite a friend
or two to join you to come and see what the amazing Davis Public School
orchestral music program has accomplished this year. Led by the phenomenal
directors Angelo Moreno, Greg Brucker and Kim Cole, 5 orchestras with musicians
ages 10 - 18, will perform for the community. The Concerto Competition
winner, 16 yr old Angela Yeung, will perform Beethoven's Concerto No. 3 in C
Minor. Whether you are a community member, budding musician, or a
supporter of the arts from across the country, this festival will prove the
value of music in our schools. The Wennberg Festival (12th Annual)
will take place Saturday, April 12, at 2:30pm at The UC Davis Mondavi Center for
the Performing Arts. Tickets available, $8-16.00, at the box
office, <A href="http://www.mondaviarts.org">www.mondaviarts.org</A> or by
calling: 866-754-2787. More information at: <BR><A

<BR>Proceeds will be used for restoring the elementary music program, as well as
district-wide orchestral support.</FONT></DIV>
