Chapel Choir Tour Mandatory Meeting

ATTENTION: High School Students and Parents!

All High School students with any interest in attending the 41st Annual Chapel Choir Tour to New York City MUST attend a mandatory informational meeting in the DGFUMC gym at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 9. Food will be provided.

This meeting is designed to inform both students and parents about the upcoming tour as well allow the Chapel Choir staff to get an idea of the numbers of students that will be involved. Due to the complexities of scheduling and planning a trip to New York City it is of the utmost importance that all students and or their parents attend this meeting and be prepared to make a commitment to regarding their involvement in the trip.

Meeting Topics will include:

• Preliminary details of the trip, including the itinerary and estimated cost (as well as the availability of financial assistance.)
• Distribution of forms that require signatures of both youth and parents
• Discussion of attendance and performance expectations for the year
• Explanation of the role and expectations of parents
• Goal and expectations of the choir throughout the year and on tour
• Time for questions

We are also asking for a $150 deposit (made payable to FUMC) at the meeting. This will help us get a clear understanding of how many will be part of the tour choir and allow us to purchase theater tickets and pay the deposits due for buses and room accommodations in New York City. The deadline for paying the full balance of the tour fee will be late February.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact either: Director Chad Goetz at cgoetz@lths.org or Don & Devra Dunham, Tour Directors at don@dgfumc.org or ddfam@comcast.net.

Thank you so much for your cooperation! We look forward to a great year and a great trip.
