CAROWINDS MUSIC FESTIVAL
8th Grade Band
Saturday April 23rd 2022
Parents,
The Festival of Music held at Carowinds is a way to bring together students and adjudicators in a positive learning environment that will inspire the students to strive not only for excellence, but to make music a lifelong activity. Students will be judged on their performance. After the performance students will spend the remainder of the day in the park. Our 8th grade students have been working really hard this year. I am extremely proud of all our band students. Please remember this is an optional performance. Students are not obligated to attend since there will be a fee to attend the festival.
The cost to attend the event is $70. Please make sure your payment is turned in by March 1st 2022. Your payment includes a one-day park pass to Carowinds and the music in the park festival fee. You are welcome to make payments before the deadline. IF YOU DO NOT PAY BY MARCH 1st YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CAROWINDS FESTIVAL. Again, this is an optional performance for our students. Please make all checks payable to Clover Middle School. Cash will also be accepted. All students will be receiving a receipt.
If you have a season pass the total cost to attend is $40. Reminder all payments must be received by March 1st 2022 to attend.
PAYMENT IS NON-REFUNDABLE. Students will need money for lunch and anything they would like to purchase in the park.
The Carowinds music festival selects our performance time. Once the time of our performance is confirmed an itinerary will be handed out. Please plan on having your child dress for the weather. We will be going to this event rain or shine. Our performance will be held at a local high school not in the park. Again, once times for our performance are confirmed more information will be handed out. The host site for the festival is typically held at South Pointe High School in Rock Hill SC but this has not been confirmed yet. After the performance at the school we go straight to the park.
If you are interested in chaperoning the event please email Mr. Gibson. We will need to have about 10-15 chaperones. All chaperones will have to be cleared through Clover School District. If you are interested in chaperoning you would need to pay for your park admission only. Chaperones will pay $40.
I am really excited for this great opportunity for our 8th grade band students. If you have any questions or concerns please email or call. Thank you for your continuing support of the Clover Middle School Band Program.
