Kings Dominion 2014
Dear Parents or Guardians,
The EVHS Show Choir Innovation, EVHS Choir Electrified, and
Artistic Choir students have an amazing opportunity to perform and compete at
the annual Kings Dominion Festival Days on Friday, May 16, 2014 at
Kings Dominion in Doswell, VA. All of
the choir students have been rehearsing for this competition during class time
and at before and after school rehearsals.
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 the EVHS choir room
by 7:15am in order to have all costumes/ outfits ready for competition. We will leave EVHS at 7:45am and return
around 8pm. Kings Dominion will be closing at 6pm on May 16th. 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 their choir
t-shirt and jean shorts (school appropriate length) 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 12:45pm right outside the
action theater in the old Virginia area to get ready for the performance.
Before and after we have performed, students will be able to change into school
appropriate clothing and get to spend the rest of the time in the park.
Chaperones - I will
need at least eight 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 $75 for all students without season
passes. Students who have season passes
need to only pay $45 for the trip. The cost for chaperones without a season
pass is 40.00. The price for this trip is much higher than last year due to a
need to use a charter bus. There are a limited number of seats available on the
charter buses. All money is due to the choir office no later than Monday
April28th. Students may use money fundraised on their choir accounts
to pay for this trip. All student
choral fees must be paid in order to attend the Kings Dominion Competition.
If your student has any outstanding fees they will be listed below.

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.
