Members of the current Alter Marching Knights and the Lancerettes will be joined by alumni of both groups at a 5 p.m. performance Saturday, September 1 on the newly opened practice fields adjacent to the school.
Todd Tucker, Alter band director, said that alumni are being asked to donate $25 for t-shirts and refreshments following the Friday’s evening rehearsal and as a gift to Phase II of the Capital Campaign for the Performing Arts.
All alumni are asked to loan or donate memorabilia to be displayed in the main school lobby beginning in August. Committee heads: Marlene Burr Orendor and Kathy Kinzler Mantia are asking for old uniforms, play bills, football programs, photos or other nostalgic items.
A gala “A Starry, Starry Knight” is planned for Saturday, Sept. 22 at the Pointz Center at Sinclair Community College. Heavy hors d’oeuvres, dancing and a silent auction will be featured. The first inductee in the newly created Alter Teacher Hall of Fame is the special guest along with all Alter teachers, past and present.
Proceeds go toward building the Teachers Professional Enrichment Fund. For more information go to www.astarrystarryknight.com.
