April 7, 2025 - Monday Announcements
Group bios - Everyone is reminded to fill out 2 copies of the bio form for your clinicians. They do not have to be handed in to the office. Please include them with your scores to the clinicians. Be as candid as possible when including information. Your students will benefit.
Big request - Many of you have used our “Planning Your Trip” section on our website. Our committee understands the process of travelling with students and have included this section to make your trip easy to plan by making it convenient to house, feed, and entertain your students. That being said, the vast majority of hotels, restaurants, and businesses DO NOT financially support our festival. Please, when you access these businesses, ask to talk to the manager and let them know that your 10 pizzas, for example, are feeding dozens of students who participate in the festival and that it would behoove them to become a part of the team. Most of them support sports teams but we hear crickets when approached by us. We want to keep our festival as affordable as possible as we understand how difficult funding can be for school music programs. MUCH APPRECIATED!
