Choral Notes
Spring Trip Update - Our final payment installment was due on January 20, 2012. If your payment is still outstanding, please contact treasurer, Amy Thompson, as soon as possible, amy.b.thompson@comcast.net. We will hold a mandatory chaperone meeting on February 8th after the Choral Guild meeting. Rooming lists have been prepared in class. We have requested that students inform us of any allergies or special needs for the trip and those have been noted on the rooming list form. Please let us know if you have not informed us of any special needs or diets. Also note that our travel wear will be khaki slacks and the chorus polo shirt. Please plan to locate those items now to avoid any last minute issues.
Check the Spring Trip page for itinerary, additional scheduling, payment and passport information. We have also added Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to help alleviate confusion and answer often asked questions.
