MUSIC IN THE PARKS

FESTIVAL INFORMATION

Parents and Guardians:

The Lovinggood Middle School 6th Grade Chorus classes are preparing for the MUSIC IN THE PARKS FESTIVAL (Six Flags Festival). This event will take place on Friday, April 27, 2018, and Saturday, April 28, 2018. The students will perform at Chapel Hill High School, in Douglasville, GA, on Friday evening. On Saturday, they will spend the day in the park and attend the award ceremony. In past years, we have done both park and performance times on the same day. Though this does not tie up two days, the students rarely received enough time in the park after the performance. Thus, money was actually lost. This year, the students will be able to enjoy the park for a longer length of time. This is not an overnight trip. Students will remain at the school on Friday evening before heading to Douglasville. We should return to the school around 8:45 pm. Our performance time can be found on the second sheet of this letter. We will meet at the school on Saturday at 10:30 am. We will then travel to Six Flags over Georgia. Students will return to Lovinggood around 8:00 pm on Saturday evening.

Though it is not mandatory, we are asking that all chorus students attend this festival, if possible. We will be judged by experienced music educators, and we would like to represent Lovinggood in a positive manner. All students are to wear their chorus uniform on Friday evening (performance night). Students will wear comfortable clothing on Saturday.

Forms and final paymentsfor each student and chaperone are due by Friday, March 2, 2018.

The fee for this event is $65.00 per student. Payment must be sent in full by Friday, March 2, 2018. The fee includes the festival registration fee, partial bus ride payment, andSix Flags park admission. Students with a Seasons Pass to Six Flags are to pay $35.00. The fee includes the registration fee and a partial payment for their bus ride. Students who are participating ONLY ON FRIDAY will pay $20.00 towards their registration fee. Our chorus fundraiser is coveringmost of the student transportation and bus driver fees. Full payments are also accepted any time between now and March 2, 2018. Early payments are accepted.

If your child has a season pass to Six Flags, they will be able to pay the fee listed above. I must know the number of students who fall in this category so that I can make changes to the registration form. Please check the appropriate box on the permission slip and return the form by the deadline.

Chaperones are also needed for this event. The chaperone participation fee is $25.00. This fee covers a discounted park admission ticket. If a chaperone has a Season Pass, this may be used in place of the aforementioned fee. Chaperones must pay in full byFriday, March 2, 2018. We will need at least 10 chaperones on Friday night. Approximately 25 are ideal for Saturday. If you are available for both dates, please check both chaperone boxes on the permission slip.

Thank you for your support of the LMS Chorus, and we hope that you can attend the festival and fun day on April 27th and 28th!
