Important Disney family tickets info and Christmas concert info

 Dear HCHS band and orchestra students and parents,

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

1. The High School Music Department invites you to its annual band, orchestra and choir Christmas concert on Wednesday, December 15, in the Jack H. Miller Center for the Musical Arts, located on the campus of Hope College.  We will be offering two performance times for those who would like to attend: one at 5:30 p.m. and one at 7:30 p.m.  General admission is free; no reservation necessary. We look forward to sharing in the celebration of our Savior’s birth through our music!

2. The Florida Planning Committee wanted to let you know about an important change in ticket information for families headed to Disney World. Disney has changed how they handle the sale of park tickets at the student/performer rate, and they no longer offer the option of adding extra days to the student/performer tickets. We are only able to order extra tickets for family members if the days of the family tickets match exactly the days of the HCHS band/orchestra tickets. Families would need to purchase the same park hopper pass which we are purchasing for students and start each day at the same park as the students. Park hopper passes now only allow you to move to another park after 2:00 p.m.

We are in the parks March 31, April 1 and April 2 and the price per family member would be $305. 

We are also going to need to place this ticket order much sooner than in years past so that we can guarantee kids have access to the parks. Please email Janet Jenosky by Monday, November 29 at noon if you would like to purchase tickets for these dates. jjenosky@charter.net

Families can also book tickets at regular Disney World rates on their own. 

We would recommend that those hoping to extend their stay at Disney World book tickets sooner rather than later as there are caps on the number of people in the parks.

Thank you!

Your help needed, Christmas concert date, and payment reminders

 Hello HCHS band and orchestra students and parents,

1. We need your help to reach our goal for Florida.

One of our Florida group fundraisers is to sell concessions at the HS musical. Would you help us in one of these two ways? Parents and students can help out.

Sign up to sell candy:

2. Our Christmas concert will be on Dec. 15 in the evening. We are finalizing location details. It appears that we will do 2 concerts to accommodate the large number of people that attend and the timing will be 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

3. This is a reminder that you uniform cleaning payment, rental payments, and your first Florida payment are past due. Good news, though, you can still turn them in. :)

Uniform and rental info is on the blog post from Oct. 9. Your commitment letter has due dates and $ amounts for the Florida trip. Here is a digital copy of the letter.  If you fundraised and are wondering about the amount you owe either talk to Mr. VB or send him an email for your amount. I have a paper copy with all of your totals each day at rehearsal.

4. Check out your pictures from picture day on one of these two locations. Here or on the HC Smug Mug page.

Thanks!

Mr. VB
