“Music in the Parks”

Saturday, May 10

Exciting News!!!  WE’RE GOING TO SIX FLAGS!!

This is a performance evaluation event sponsored by Music in the Parks and all chorus classes are invited to participate. Students are not required to attend; participation is voluntary.  We will perform as one chorus, 6^th, 7^th & 8^th grades combined, in the Middle School Class AA division and will receive a trophy and a rating of superior, excellent, good or fair, based on our performance.  This is a great opportunity for our entire chorus to perform and have a fun day at Six Flags together!  The performance venue is a near-by school and the awards ceremony is held at the park in the late afternoon or early evening.  Our performance schedule and itinerary are below, along with costs. 

Please carefully read the information below and respond accordingly.  We will need an accurate head count and payment from students to send in for the festival,  before spring break begins on April 4th, in order to meet the payment schedule for the Festival. The student price includes the Festival cost and we have included transportation costs as well.  Food costs are not included; students should plan to bring approximately $30.00 for lunch, dinner and snacks for the day.  Also, we will need parent chaperones – please indicate on the form if you are available to chaperone for the day.
