Dowell Singer Parents:
In
effort to continue to conserve, we are going to send out fewer paper
notices from now to the end of the year. Emails and the blog will be
updated. Today the students heard their tape from Festival, and also
reviewed the judges comments. I am very proud of the work they have
done.
Our next event is a performance at the Dowell PTA
meeting on March 31st. Please make sure your student is ready in
uniform in the music room at 6:30 pm that evening.
I hope by
now you have gotten some information about our Spring Event from them -
be it a bit garbled! Our Spring Event will be Friday, April 24th from
4pm to approximately 11pm. We have 50 tickets for the Broadway
Production of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" at the Fox theater. This is
the same production from NY and London traveling through the States.
Our evening will include dinner and the production, with possibly a
performance by us. I do not have firm details to share at this time,
but I anticipate the cost will not be more than $35 per student,
possibly less dependent on the cost of our dinner. Because we only
have 50 tickets, students will be selected based on attendance,
behavior, motivation, etc. The Spring Event is typically a reward for
students who have gone above and beyond with their chorus
participation. This decision will be made following the PTA
performance.
Given the current economic situation, and since
Spring is a major time for sporting events, etc. if you do not want
your student to participate, please let me know. I have encouraged the
students to consider ways they might be able to contribute....
babysitting, yard work, giving up a treat etc. If the student can
put aside $5 per week, the total amount could be done.
Again, Parents thank you for your support. I am very pleased with the musical work the students have accomplished.
