Thank you to all of the parents who attended the band and strings parents meeting on February 16th.  The grade 9 band students and the grade 8 and 9 strings students will be travelling to Halifax on April 28-29 to participate in the Atlantic Band Festival.

As discussed at the meeting, the per student cost of the trip based on 84 participants is $172.00.  An additional $5.00 per student will be required to cover the cost of substitute teachers. 

A deposit of $100.00 will be due on Thursday, March 3.

The total cost of the trip will depend on the number of confirmed participants.  The funds raised from the silent auction will also be applied to the total cost of the trip.  For this reason, please do not send funds for the final payment with the deposits.  I will inform you of the balance, which will be due on Thursday, March 17, as soon as all of the numbers are finalized.

Thank you!

The winning number in the 50-50 draw was:
