Our very own Jefferson West High School Lakeside Singers have been selected to perform the National Anthem at a Kansas City Royals game! They will perform on Wednesday, May 28th, when the Royals take on the Cincinnati Reds at Kaufmann Stadium. While this is very exciting news, they need YOUR help!
To get the green light from the Royals, the Lakeside Singers need to sell 200 tickets. Luckily, the Royals have given us a discounted price. Tickets start at just $20!
Tickets MUST be ordered through the link below to "count" towards our 200-ticket goal. Here's the kicker…We need to have the required number of 200 tickets sold by Friday, April 19th!
Share this link with family and friends, and let's make sure the Jefferson West High School Lakeside Singers get the audience that they deserve!
