Sixth, seventh, and eighth graders in band, orchestra, or chorus are going to Hershey Park, PA for an annual Music in the Parks trip.  This trip will take place on May 20, 2016.  This trip is an extended day field trip.  The purpose of the trip is to perform in the Music in the Parks competition.  The cost of the trip is $83.00.  This cost may be paid in one or two payments.  If you choose to pay in two separate payments the first payment is due March 18, at which point $50.00 is the cost.  The second cost is due April 15, in which point the cost is $33.00.  There will be no refunds.  Students who don’t keep a B average in the music ensemble class, and already made their payment, they will get a separate ticket and will not be able to go with the group and will not be able to perform in the Music in the Parks competition.  The students will NOT be taking coach buses. They will be taking regular school buses.  Students will wear their ensemble t-shirts (orchestra, band or chorus) and jeans or black pants.  Children will be able to bring extra changes of pants, but have to be wearing the music ensemble shirt. 10-12 chaperones will be necessary.  Each chaperone will cost $40. The permission slip needs to be turned into your music ensemble teacher.
