Hello, Honors Choir Families!
I hope all of you are doing
well as the seasons turn from winter to spring. We’re not quite out of flu
season, so I hope you’re all staying well!
Our team of Honors Choir
directors and elementary music specialists are so excited to take the ensemble
to Kansas City on Friday, April 6th! If your
singer will not be attending with us, please notify me as soon as
possible.
Here are details about our
trip:
- On the
morning of Friday, April 6th, please drop
off your singer at West Middle School. We will gather together in the
cafeteria on the northeast side of the building (near the intersection of
Clinkscales and Worley) at 8:40am. Our goal is to depart
by 8:55. THERE ARE NO BUSES BRINGING STUDENTS FROM THEIR HOME
SCHOOLS TO WEST MIDDLE SCHOOL. PLEASE MAKE TRANSPORTATION ARRANGEMENTS.
- Lunch
and dinner will be provided for all singers.
- If your
singer has any dietary restrictions or food allergies, please notify me as
soon as possible.
- If your singer will need
to take medication between 8:40am and 11:00pm, please notify me as soon as
possible.
- Dress code for the day
will be black from waist to toe and either an Honors Choir t-shirt or a
school shirt. Additionally, students will need to pack a white collared
shirt along with their burgundy cardigan and gold tie for the evening
concert.
- We recommend students
bring a drawstring backpack to carry their belongings. Please limit what
items students bring, as we cannot be responsible for lost items.
- We will return to West
Middle School at or around 10:40pm. Plan to arrive at West Middle School
slightly earlier so dismissal will go smoothly. If your contact number has
changed since the beginning of the school year, please notify. We will
encourage students to call/text as we approach Columbia from Kansas City.
- If you are traveling to
Kansas City to watch the evening concert, it is scheduled to begin at
7:00pm. Please check in with me before the concert between 6:15 and 6:45
to confirm you are there and that you will provide return transportation
for your singer.
- I have attached the
permission form for the trip to Kansas City. It should look familiar, as
it is the same form that was completed for the trip to Tan-Tar-A Resort in
October. You may either fill the form out and send it back
electronically, or you may print it off and send it with your student to
Honors Choir rehearsal on Tuesdays. If you have any questions, please
notify me.
- Below
is our itinerary for the day. Please let me know if you have any
questions, comments, or concerns.
Thank you for your patience
in receiving information about the trip to Kansas City.
Have a great day!
