Hillgrove Orchestras to Perform in Williamsburg and Washington, DC
I am very pleased to announce that the Hillgrove Orchestras will be traveling to Williamsburg, Virginia and Washington D.C. next Spring to compete in the 2008 Heritage Music Festival. This will be the first time that the Hillgrove Orchestras have gone on tour, and students in both orchestra classes are invited to participate. While we are still in the planning stages, I do have some important information to share.
When – April 16-20, 2008
*Cost – Estimated cost will be around $550.00 per student.
Hotel - 235.00 per person
Bus - 100.00 per person
Food - 100.00 per person
Misc. fees - 100.00 per person
*Final cost will be determined based on the number of people going.
Students will have the opportunity to participate in various fund-raisers throughout the school year to offset the cost of the trip. The payment schedule will be as follows:
November 1, 2007 $150.00 Non-Refundable Deposit
February 1, 2008 $200.00
March 14, 2008 $200.00 (remainder of balance)
What will we do?
Performance evaluation and clinic at the Heritage Music Festival in Williamsburg, performances in Washington, D.C. (locations TBA), visit the US Capitol, Smithsonian Museums, and Colonial Williamsburg, and spend a day at Busch Gardens.
A detailed itinerary will be made available as we finalize plans
Again, we are in the planning stages of the trip, but I want to get this preliminary information to everyone so that we can plan together. This will be a memorable trip, and I hope that we will be able to take a large group. I will be sure to pass along any new information as it becomes available to me.
