Annual Fundraising Campaign Kick Off Event - PACO conducts an orchestra-wide fundraising campaign each season in the Spring. The Fundraising Campaign Kick-off starts this event. Funds from this campaign are raised to cover costs not covered by membership dues, grants and ticket sales. Each year’s fundraising goal is determined by the Treasurer and the Board of Directors in order to meet the organization’s annual operating budget. It is very important for the financial stability of PACO that each PACO family raise its share during the Campaign. At the Kick-off, parents will receive a list of previous supporters whom they are asked to contact. Parents are also shown how to add to this donor list...stay tuned.

Replacing the Bach Celebration Concert this season is one celebrating the life and music of George Frederick Handel, who passed away in 1759 (250 years ago). Everyone in all PACO ensembles will participate in this concert, either playing or singing (or both!). Please click on Handel Fest and read the program information very carefully, and reply to Ben or Kris if you have any questions or scheduling problems. The principal players in Debut, Sinfonia, and PACO will comprise the Handel Festival Orchestra – those players are listed in the program, and the complete rehearsal schedule is also listed. Everyone: check the schedule and put the rehearsal and concert dates into your calendars. For some schools, March 22 is the beginning of a spring holiday; make your best effort to be available so this concert can be a rousing success. It should be great fun, and I guarantee that you’ll enjoy this wonderful music.
