Orchestra Trip to Winter Park Ski-Music Festival
WINTER PARK, CO
March 22 to March 27, 2017
We are very excited about this amazing opportunity for our Orchestra Students to spend spring break of 2017 in Winter Park, Colorado to participate in their music festival. Not only will the students perform, all parents and chaperons will have the opportunity to ski, snowboard, or participate in non-ski activities in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado. More information will be posted on this website as we get more and more arranged!
Please take a look at the information that was presented at our Information Meeting in June:
Cost for the trip is currently estimated to be $1,295 per person and includes all travel, lodging, and meals (except during travel), and activities (including 4 days of skiing or non-ski activities). We will be doing fundraising throughout September to December to offset the cost, including 4 car washes, 2 breakfast fundraisers, a dinner and music fundraiser and more.
If you are not already registered, please email Mr. Ballinger at opusvb@gmail.com to be added to the list or waiting list.
