Comp tickets for the Bach B Minor Mass

3/21/2013 | Posted by The Music Department | | Edit Post
I have two complimentary tickets to the Bach B Minor Mass performed by the Elmer Isler Singers and the Amadeus Choir this Saturday. These tickets are regularly $40 each.  They are at the door under my name, just let me know if you want to use them.  Music teachers get first dibs, but after that they are open to anyone!

Also Agincourt Students can attend for only $5, all they have to do is say they are students from ACI to get the discount.

cheers

James
