The Westlake High School Orchestra will be holding it’s annual Chili Con Carnivore Carnivale on Oct. 27 in the Chaps Court. Participants can feast on chili, cornbread and desserts while listening to costumed musicians from the fantastic WHS orchestras.

“Carnivale” is one of the orchestra’s largest fundraisers with proceeds helping to purchase music, repair, replace damaged instruments and fund various trip expenses throughout the year.

Orchestra students are also selling raffle tickets for a chance to win some great prizes, which include a Sym Mio four-Stroke Motor Scooter, a MacBook Pro Notebook, or a 32-inch Vizio 1080P HD LCD TV. For each ticket a student sells, $5 goes into their personal orchestra account. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased through director James Edwards, or at this weekend’s varsity football game as well. Attendance at the event is not required to win.
