Tables available for hosting at Waukon Music Department’s 12th Annual Pops Concert ...

The Waukon Music Department will be hosting its 12th annual Pops Concert Friday night, February 25 at the Waukon Middle School gymnasium. Doors will open at 6 p.m. with concert time set for 7 p.m.

The Pops Concert is an annual fundraising event sponsored by the Allamakee Music Boosters. The Pops Concert features high energy musical numbers from the 1950s through today. Groups performing will include the high school and middle school choirs, high school and middle school jazz bands, drumline, featured soloists, song and dance skits and emcees.

There are still tables available to host this year. Anyone who may be interested in decorating and hosting a table at the concert for up to 10 of their guests is welcome to contact Brenda Dougherty at 563-568-7997 or email her at waukonpops@gmail.com. The cost for hosting a table includes admission for all 10 table guests.  Hosts may decorate their tables any way they would like plus offer and serve a dessert or snack for their guests.

The Pops Concert is also open to the public for just a general admission fee which includes refreshments.  The general admission seating is on a first-come, first-served basis in the bleachers and chairs located in the gym. The money raised from this event has been allocated in the past by the Allamakee Music Boosters to help purchase items such as drumline equipment, risers, pianos and various pieces of equipment for all grades, as well as providing scholarships for students attending camps. A Tastefully Simple Bakeless Bake Sale will be going on at the concert as well with numerous items offered.
