From March 23rd (Wednesday) - March 26th (Saturday) of 2011, North Schuylkill will proudly be hosting the PMEA Region V Band Festival. Students audition in December, then again in January to be a part of this festival. Some of the best high school musicians in the state of Pennsylvania will be here sharing their talent with us for those days. Because a vast majority of these students will be traveling a great distance, I am looking for volunteers to be "Host Families". As a host family, your responsibility is rather simple - You will be required to drop the student(s) off at the beginning of school, and pick them up at night after rehearsal is over. You will need to provide them with a place to sleep, and breakfast in the morning. I need to find space for 120 students, so if you can help us out it would be more than appreciated. If you know of anyone in the community, community groups, church groups, etc...that might be able to help out with this, please forward their information to me. These students are often the best and brightest of their schools, and a festival of this caliber has not been hosted in Schuylkill County for quite some years.. I am looking forward to a rewarding experience for these students who are joining the Schuylkill County community for a few days. I have outlined a basic schedule for you if you are interested in being a host family -
