This festival will allow students to receive written and recorded comments from accomplished choral and instrumental conductors. These comments will help the groups to focus and and improve for our spring concert season. Last year’s experience proved to be very rewarding and educationally motivating for all students who attended. The accomplishments of last year provide a high standard for us to match or beat. The cost for this experience is $70 per student, which includes transportation, entrance to the park, and a T-­shirt. This cost does not include lunch and dinner, more details will be announced about what to bring on the trip in the coming weeks. We ask that students arrive at 6:30am sharp to allow us to take attendance and depart on time. Following their festival performance, students will be transported to the Six Flags Park and return to Sanborn at approximately 9:00pm. A specific schedule and instructions will be distributed prior to the trip. Please complete the attached permission slip and return it with a check made out to “Concord Middle School” by Monday April 13th. Should you have any questions regarding the trip or any other concerns, please feel free to email your child’s music teacher. Sincerely, The CMS Music Department Do you plan on participating in the Music in the Parks Field Trip? If we do not have enough students (certain instruments or voice parts), there is a chance that some groups may not be able to attend this festival. ⬜No thank you.
