- FAQ:
- Q: Will there be a place for students to change
into their swimsuit?
- A: Yes; however, we ask that students wear their
swimsuits underneath their performance clothes to avoid the time it would
take for all students to change from concert clothes to swimsuits.
- Q: Should I pack a snack for my student?
- A: Yes, students should come with a snack from
home to eat before the performance. We will not have an opportunity to eat
until after the performance, or around 1:20pm. All students in CPS are
accustomed to eating before then, so we ask they bring a snack. If
students do not bring a snack, one will be made available to them.
- Q: Does my student have to attend the pool party
following the performance?
- A: No. If you would like to pick up your student
after the performance, you may. However, due to liability concerns, we
cannot release a student to any adult other than their legal guardians.
- Q: If my student is not going to the pool party,
how will I know where they are after the performance?
- A: I will have my cell phone charged and on all
day if you have any questions or concerns. You can call or text, identify
yourself, and I will share our current location so we can arrange a
pick-up location for your child. My phone number is (573)239-6408.
Thank you for your help in
putting this trip together so early in the year! I truly appreciate all of your
feedback, and I look forward to working with all of you this year. If you have
any questions, comments, or concerns that were not addressed above, please let
me know via email, phone, or in person.
Have a great evening!
