As many of you know, QSP had an error in processing magazine orders. Some data became corrupted, and QSP re-entered all orders to fix this problem. Click here for a memo explaining this issue.
It has now been two months since QSP claims to have fixed the issue, but based on feedback from students and parents, I am not convinced that the problem has been resolved. Both Mr. Maledy and myself have made countless phone calls to QSP in hopes of resolving these issues. This has been a frustrating experience for everyone.
I am currently in the process of cross-referencing the QSP online statements with our yellow copies of every magazine order that has been turned in. Through this process, I hope to discover which orders have correctly been processed and which orders have not.
On Friday, we were notified that QSP is in the process of being "absorbed" by a different company. So, at this point, it is unclear how the unprocessed orders will be handled.
As more information becomes available, we will share it with everyone.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work on getting answers to all of our questions.
5 Odessa high school band students and one Odessa alumni journeyed to downtown Kansas City to participate in the 2011 Tuba Christmas event at the new Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. 612 tuba, baritone and euphonium players, ages 10 through 87, from all over Missouri, Kansas and as far away as Altoona, Iowa came together for this year’s annual extravaganza. This was the 32nd Tuba Christmas held in Kansas City. (thanks to Belinda Johnson for the photo!)
