StandUp Blue Springs Princess Party – Save the Date!

by Jeff Quibell 1. March 2010 10:57

Please SAVE THE DATE:  StandUp Blue Springs’ annual Princess Party to benefit Dental for Kids will be held Saturday, Oct 2, 2010 at Valley View High School in Blue Springs.  We need 200 volunteers and many donors, so please commit today to assisting with planning, fundraising, Friday set up and/or the Saturday event. 

The Princess Party is held on the same weekend as this year’s Wall That Heals.  Please consider supporting both events in some way.  We realize it will be a busy week, but StandUp anticipates more than 700 little girls and their adult royal companions to join us for the Princess Party, which requires 2 days’ set-up, 200 volunteers and a two-story castle façade!  While we are not competing for the same “audience,” we will both draw adult and student volunteers from the Blue Springs community.  Both are worthwhile events; we hope you can support both.

Big show set for Saturday

by Jeff Quibell 24. February 2010 09:59

JeffQuibell201002 BS_PArts_1 For many years, I have had the honor and privilege of playing cello in the Heritage Philharmonic, an Eastern Jackson County orchestra celebrating its 65th year. The orchestra brings excellent music to our community, and provides opportunities for our best community musicians to share their talent and love of music.

At 7:30 p.m. Saturday, the Philharmonic welcomes Conductor Laureate Jack Ergo back to the podium at the Blue Springs High School Performing Arts Center. The concert will feature Brahms’s Academic Festival Overture, Hindemith’s “Five Pieces for String Orchestra” and Dvorak’s well-known Symphony No. 9, “From the New World,” one of the most popular in the modern repertoire.

Tickets are available at the door. Prices are $10 for adults and $5 for students. It will be an excellent evening of musical entertainment!
