Refunds, SmartMusic performances, and a year end like no other.

Dear band and orchestra students and parents,

I hope you are doing well and staying healthy. It is cliché at this point, but I will say it again, I miss making music with you and seeing you all. Seeing you in Zoom meetings over the last weeks has truly been a blessing.

I wanted to update you on a few things.

1. Our audition/application to perform at Disney World next year was successful! See my last post, this phrase is needed here: Deo volente.

2. We have not yet received our refund from Disney World. I have been in contact with them and the refund is coming, but we won't be able to send out checks until HCHS receives the refund. At this point I will continue to be in contact with Disney, but I do not know what the timing will be. 

3. I will reach out to you when we are able to move forward with refunds for those who would like this. Our hope is that those who will likely go on the trip next spring will keep their money in their school account. The refund will not include money that was fundraised. It looks like ticket costs for 2021 will only be $13 higher.

4. I am looking forward to students sharing a performance at home with parents this week and then creating a video to share with someone whose day could use some brightening next week. Parents, please verify your child's home performance on this form. I am so proud of how students are progressing on their projects, they are sounding great. 

5. I will have more information to share with you about senior celebrations, uniform drop offs, instrument drop off, music drop off.....and more. But for now I am going to say that we will deal with that on another day. :)

Deo volente,
Mr. VB
