You and 10 of your peeps can party like they read about in magazines on one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet for....$10! Print out the ticket order form (attached) and send your reservations to the Jupiter Middle School band office, and Mr. Destito will see that it is passed on to Mike.

It is a fun evening of food, dancing and music to put away another spectacular year and look ahead! Space is limited (think the number is 154!), so get your orders in early. Dig out your dancing shoes, bring your favorite beverage and party like a rock star in paradise!
