Honors Choir to Kansas City THIS FRIDAY, APRIL 6


April 2, 2018
Hello, Honors Choir Families!

I hope you had a wonderful Spring Break. Our team of Honors Choir directors and elementary music specialists are so excited to take the ensemble to Kansas City THIS 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:

·     THIS 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. All students participating in the trip to Kansas City must have a completed, signed permission form on file. 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 tomorrow, Tuesday, April 3. If you have not received confirmation about your child's permission forms, 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 support of the Honors Choir throughout this year! We look forward to a great day in Kansas City!

Have a great week!
