Correct Kings Dominion Information Sheet


Kings Dominion 2013

Dear Parents or Guardians,

The EVHS Show Choir Innovation, Women’s A cappella, Men’s A cappella, and Artistic Choir students have an amazing opportunity to perform and compete at the annual Kings Dominion Festival Days on Friday, May 3, 2013 at Kings Dominion in Doswell, VA.  All of the choir students have been rehearsing for this competition during class time and at after school rehearsal.  Students are expected to practice singing and dancing at home daily.  Students who do not know their music and dances will not be able to attend this trip. 

All students will be expected to check in with first block teachers and meet in the EVHS choir room at 8:15pm on May 3rd in order to have all costumes/ outfits ready for competition.  We will leave EVHS at 9am and return around 10:30pm. Students will be prompted to call their rides when we are 30 minutes outside of Culpeper.  Please be on time to pick your student up from EVHS.  All students will need to turn in a permission form and have a medical and contract form on file in order to attend this trip.  Students will need to wear the appropriate attire as listed below for this competition. Students who do not have the proper attire will not attend the field trip. Students will be prompted to meet Mrs. R with their chaperones at 12:30pm at the pavilion in order to get ready for the performance. Before and after we have performed, students will be able to change into school appropriate clothing and watch the rest of the show and spend time in the park. 

Show Choir Attire:

Girls - Purple Sparkle Dress, Tights, Silver Shoes, Silver Spanx, Yellow Dress or Green Dress, Polka Dot Spanx, Make-Up, Earrings

Chaperones - I will need at least four chaperones for this competition.  All chaperones must be approved by the Culpeper School Board.  If you are not on the approved list and are interested in chaperoning, please email me for a form.  Please email me at trichtar@culpeperschools.org if you are interested in chaperoning these events.

The cost of this event is $45 for all students and parents without season passes.  Students who have season passes need to only pay $12 for the trip.  All money is due to the choir office no later than Friday, March 8th. Students may use money fundraised on their choir accounts to pay for this trip.

Students will need to bring money with them in order to purchase a meal to eat in the park.  We will stop at a fast food establishment on the way to Kings Dominion in order for students to eat.  Students may also want to purchase souvenirs while at Kings Dominion. Please keep this in mind when getting ready for the trip.  While there are no further plans to stop on the way to or from our destination, the bus could stop if an emergency or student need occurs.  

Behavior and Expectations - All Choir students are expected to behave in accordance with the Culpeper County School Board Code of Conduct and the EVHS Choir Field Trip Policy found on the EVHS Choir Blog at www.evhschoir.blogspot.org.  Students are expected to be respectful and compliant to everyone, especially chaperones and teachers attending the trip.  Students who defy any of the policies mentioned above will receive a referral and be banned from future choir field trips. 

Thank you for your attention to the above details.  I am excited for this opportunity and know that your student will have a memorable experience.  Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions.
