Registration
Online registration for Boiseko Gazteak will begin on Tuesday, September 9. It will be accessible until Tuesday, September 23. You will receive an email notification when registration opens with links to the registration documents. You may also register in person on September 23 at 7:00P.M. at the Basque Center. Whether you register online or not, you will need to come to the Basque Center that evening if you need to have your children measured for costumes, have costumes altered, or purchase used costumes, shoes, and other costume accessories. This evening will also be an opportunity to sell your used costume to another parent (if you are selling a costume, please plan to arrive early so that the costume pieces can be priced prior to registration).

Costume Assistant
We are still looking for a couple of people/families to assist with costumes. YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SEW! Assisting Linda would count as your family’s two volunteer jobs! This is just organizing the new costumes, assisting the seamstress at registration and delivering the finished costumes to the families. Please contact Linda Barinaga (208.922.4037 or email) for additional information and requirements.
Teachers & Musicians Wanted
The board is also looking for teaching volunteers to assist the directors for each age group. This program cannot continue without the people who are committed to teaching every Tuesday night for nine weeks before Christmas and nine weeks after Christmas. Teaching is also a great opportunity for current high school kids to earn volunteer hours. Please think about joining the crew that continues to pass on our culture to these wonderful kids year after year. If you are interested, please contact Johnny Aldape (208.761.2121 or via email).
Similarly, we are also looking for musicians (txistu, accordion, & tambourine) to provide live music during practices and performances. If you are interested, please contact Nikki Totorica (208.867.2175 or via email).
