Greetings Alumni Family,

The KSU - D.C. Metropolitan Alumni chapter is hosting the KSU student choir spring concert on

Tuesday, March 10, 2009 at 7 PM at
Allen Chapel AME Church
2498 Alabama Avenue, S.E.
Washington, D.C. 20020.

We are requesting your support in attending the performance, selling tickets and/or making a donation to offset the costs and make this event successful. Last year, we asked alumni to sell a minimum of 10 tickets for $100 ($10 each) or make a donation of $100. However, whatever you can do would be greatly appreciated.

This year, several DCKSU Alumni have generously donated $500 each to help defray the hotel costs for the students. We are depending on ticket sales to offset remaining costs for the church facility and to cater dinner for the choir. We understand that all of us have financial commitments and may not be able to participate but if we could perhaps play an active role by selling tickets or making a small donation – every little bit helps. The budget estimates are listed as follows:

Budget Estimates

Printing of tickets $ 100
1 Night of hotel costs for choir students 1,500
Usage of Church 500
Caterer (Dinner for students night of performance) 400
Choir Donation (for expenses and school equipment 1,000
Total $3,500

As part of our chapter goals – we are reaching out to local high school students in the Southeast D.C. area to provide them with complimentary tickets to attend the performance. This is a great opportunity to familiarize them with our university and scholarship opportunities, as well as for them to enjoy a performance from our highly acclaimed college concert choir. Several high school students may also be able to audition for the choir after the performance.

We look forward to offering these students a free high quality, professional performance of fine classical and contemporary choral music.

If are interested in selling or purchasing tickets, please contact Shayla Watson by phone 502-319-1044 or via email shaylalwatson@yahoo.com.

If you would like to send a donation or payment for tickets, please send a check or money order made out to “DC KSU Alumni” to:

Regarding Tickets to the Inauguration:

Tickets to the 56th Inaugural Ceremonies will be provided free of charge and distributed through Members of the 111th Congress. The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies does not provide tickets to the public. Members of the public interested in attending the Inaugural Ceremonies should contact their Member of Congress or U.S. Senators to request tickets.

The public should also be aware that no website or other ticket outlet actually has inaugural swearing-in tickets to sell, regardless of what they may claim. Tickets will not be distributed to Congressional offices until the week before the inauguration and will require in-person pick-up.

“Any website or ticket broker claiming that they have inaugural tickets is simply not telling the truth,” said Howard Gantman, Staff Director for the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies. “Tickets for the swearing-in of President-elect are all provided through members of Congress, and the President-elect and Vice President-elect through the Presidential Inaugural Committee. We urge the public to view any offers of tickets for sale with great skepticism.”
