We have had to change the date of our May Concert due to a conflict with the Lincoln-Way East music program (they have a large concert that same evening and many of our families have students in both programs.

The new date of our May Concert will be Tuesday, May 12th.  The times are the same as before, it will just be one week later.

The date has been changed on the music department website and a new Dates to Remember has been uploaded to the website/attached to this email.

Our remaining 3 concerts will be on:

Tuesday, December 9th

Tuesday, March 10th

Tuesday, May 12th

All students interested in attending the May 8-9 trip to Minneapolis must turn in a $50 deposit no later than Wednesday, November 5th!!!  No late deposits will be accepted.  The reason for the early due date is that we can’t begin making reservations and figuring out final payments until we know the number of students.  If students do not make their deposit by 11/5, they will not be able to attend the trip.  Checks should be made payable to the Mokena Music Boosters.

I would anticipate the overall cost of the trip will be $450-475 (depending on the number of students who attend).  The $50 deposit will go towards the overall cost of the trip.  There will be 2 other payments due later in the year (one late January, and the final late March).  The overall cost includes all meals, attractions, transportation, and a clinic by a University professor.  Students will only need to bring extra money if they’d like to buy souvenirs.

Thanks, and I hope many of our students take the opportunity to go on this great trip!
