UPCOMING G-STAR HOLIDAY EVENTS

Greetings to all,

As the holidays approach – yes they’re coming waaay too fast – we have a couple of projects that we are involved in. Rather than deem these “X-Scream” projects, we would like to extend an invitation to any G-Star clubs, classes and organizations that might be interested in participating with us.

LIGHT PARADE

Most of you are aware that we (G-Star) are hosting a Holiday Light Parade on December 10th. This event will feature classic cars, motorcycles, floats and groups on a 2.5 mile route through Palm Springs, beginning and ending here on campus. The event will include vendors, live music, pictures with Santa and other activities. If your school club or organization would like to enter a float or vehicle or you would simply like to represent it by marching along – now is the time! The X-Scream Team will be working on our float immediately following the Thanksgiving break and will be doing so every day after school until the date of the event. If you would like to schedule your own build/decorating meetings at the same time, we will be there to help if needed and will share space in studio B to work in. Contact me if you have any questions.

PALM BEACH ZOO

The X-Scream Team has been asked by the zoo to help them design their Holiday displays. All components will be eco-friendly and show examples of how people can do so the same on their own while decorating for the holidays. As part of this project we are inviting all G-Star clubs and organizations to “adopt” a tree. These will be placed throughout the zoo and labeled with the appropriate “decorators” information. Each tree must be decorated using natural or recycled materials and LED lighting. The themes we will be addressing include a 19th century Pioneer House, South American area, early 20th century area and many others. We will go to the zoo after school on December 12th and apply the decorations to the trees which will be already placed in their locations in advance. If you would like to get involved, please contact me for additional details. In addition to Christmas there will also be Hanukkah displays.

Not only are these projects a great opportunity to “show off” a bit and exhibit a touch of G-Star pride but, it is an opportunity to provide your members with a fun project that they can be proud of while actually learning a great deal about design, production, recycling and how to accomplish it with (in the case of the zoo) a minimal impact on the environment.

I look forward to hearing back from you,
George Colavecchio
