During the week- end, hundreds of volunteers will staff Symphony Hall taking telephone pledges and ensuring the smooth running of every facet of this year's endeavor. WCVB-TV-Channel 5 will broadcast a special Sunday-evening program featuring performances by the Boston Symphony under Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Pops under John Williams.

In addition, members of the orchestra and Symphony Hall staff have donated many unique premiums, as have numerous BSO Trustees and Overseers.
