To: 2015 All-State Students, Directors and Parents From: Chris Dasovick, All State Festival Site Manager and Cheryl McIntyre All State Chairperson 2015 RE: Instructions and information LEARN YOUR MUSIC Please have your music prepared and ready to go. Our rehearsals are for musical considerations, not for working out notes, rhythms, pronunciations, and articulations. These concerts are being conducted by world-class musicians. This will be your chance to showcase North Dakota’s finest young musical talent! *Students may be asked to stay in the rehearsal room during concert hours in order to learn their parts.* MEDICAL CONCERNS *Each student needs to complete the required medical release form and return it with the registration. This is to assist All State in the case of an emergency with your students. Be sure to include the teacher’s cell number in the event your student becomes ill or needs your assistance.* It is the responsibility of the directors/chaperones of All-State students to obtain necessary information about medical needs (pre-existing conditions, parents' phone numbers, doctor's phone number, etc.) and to be on the premises to assist All-State personnel with any medical emergencies students may have.
