Musicians to canvass Hudson Aug. 28

The annual Hudson High School Music Association Tag Day will be Aug. 28 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Hudson High School band, choir and orchestra students will canvass Hudson neighborhoods asking for donations to support the high school music programs. The proceeds are used for uniforms, instruments, repairs, clinics and supplies.

Every person who donates to the Hudson High School Music Association will receive a "tag" with a calendar of musical events for the school year. For further information contact Loree Allen at 330-342-0527.

Music students will also distribute Bruegger's Bagels fliers for use Sept. 3 to 6 and Sept. 10 to 12. On these two weekends, the Hudson High School Music Association will receive 15 percent of the proceeds from sales accompanied by a Bruegger's Bagels flier.
