Good afternoon, families of BRMS band members!

The permission slip for our annual Music in the Parks trip is attached to this email and posted on my website. Paper slips went home this past week and are due by the end of next week, Friday March 8th. (if you need an extension on the payment, let me know but still send in the slip by next Friday.) Please save the top portion of the slip as well as this email for pertinent details. This email is also posted on my website.

-The price is $81, unless the student has a season pass, in which case it is $34. Food is not included in this number, so students should bring money. Cash is not accepted at the park, but there are kiosks where cash can be turned into cards.

-Students should wear their BRMS Music Department t-shirts and whatever else they plan on wearing in the park. T-shirts are still available for $10.

-ALL BRMS music ensembles will be called down at 9:45 on Friday, May 31^st to head to Jackson Liberty High School. Anything other than instruments, folders, and whatever students want to bring to the park should stay at BRMS.

-We will perform/compete at staggered times between 11 and 12:30. When a student is not performing or in the warm-up space, they will be in the audience for other performing ensembles. They may also purchase light snacks at this time (cash only).

-We will then load up the equipment bus with instruments and folders, which will head back to BRMS. Students and chaperones will head straight to Six Flags.

-We will meet up for the awards ceremony at the park, but otherwise students are free to roam the park. They will stay in small groups and be assigned a chaperone for check-ins.

-Depending on the timing of the awards ceremony, we will leave the park around 5:30-6 to return to BRMS, at which point they will need to be picked up. Exact timing will be communicated as the trip date approaches.

-If you are interested in chaperoning, please contact me. Chaperone tickets are $47, unless you have a season pass (in which case it's "free").

-Students participation in this trip is contingent on behavior and attendance at rehearsals.

 

Please reach out with any questions or concerns. Have a wonderful day!
