Junior CDMMEA Festival Rehearsal Information

It seems part of the Junior Festival Rehearsal Information was cut off when I pasted Nick's letter into the last email. Thanks to all who dropped me a note asking for the additional info. I have posted the full link below.

Two things to remember...
1. The HOST SITE  (The Bromfield School), will offer a pizza meal deal (2 slices, bag of chips & drink) will be available for $7. Additional snacks and beverages will be available on site. Cash only please.

2. When you purchase your tickets please have them divided by school and by concert (jazz/Chorus vs Orchestra/Band), and the total cash/checks put together.  It will make the process smoother.

Here is the full Junior Festival Rehearsal Link:

Chorus -
Dress Rehearsal & Concert Day
Information

Schools with Chorus students participating in this years Festival!.
 
Diane Plouffe, the Franklin Director & Concert host (extraordinaire!), wanted to share the following Choral Dress rehearsal information.
 
The chorus will be rehearsing at the Horace Mann Middle School, which is next door to FHS. 
 
The buses should drop the Chorus students off there first and then proceed to FHS to drop off the Band, Jazz Band and Orchestra students. 
 
The Chorus will have snacks available for purchase at HMMS during their breaks, but they will be walking over to FHS for lunch. 
 
I would recommend that when they come over to FHS for lunch at 12:00PM, they bring their concert clothes and plan to not return to HMMS. 
 
They will leave their belongings in the FHS Media Center during the dress rehearsal and concert.
