Families,
I just wanted to send out more information regarding our field trip to Kennesaw that is scheduled for Friday, October 29th. We will be leaving McEachern by bus at 10:30am to travel to KSU. Students will leave campus in their concert black uniforms and will stay in those for the day. Our performance time is approximately 12:30 and we are planning to eat lunch in the KSU dining hall afterward. The cost for lunch is 13.50. I am trying to secure funding to pay for the student lunches but I wanted to make you aware in case I cannot. We will be picked up by bus after lunch and we are planning to be back at McEachern at 3:15 so that students will be able to ride the bus home in the afternoon. The students will carry on all of their equipment on the bus with them but there will not be enough room for additional items like backpacks. If you have the time to chaperone and are willing to drive your vehicle and carry some of our equipment to free up bus space, please let me know. Students and chaperones will be required to wear a mask while on the bus. If your student has not yet turned in their permission form, please send it in by the end of the week. If you have questions, please feel to contact me at [email protected]. We are very excited for this opportunity. One of the clinicians for the event is composer Kirt Mosier and I know that it will be a great experience if we are able to meet him. In case you don't know who he is, I am attaching a link to one of his pieces that our orchestra has played before. Thank you, Michelle Clupper https://www.jwpepper.com/sheet-music/media-player.jsp?&productID=2382380&type=audio Use this link to record your Raging Rapids Flipgrid.
