Many of the final details are still being organized but the basic outline of the trip is as follows: Thursday, April 15 Depart for Williamsburg; possible stop at George Mason University in Fairfax for a tour and/or master classes with GMU faculty; continue to Williamsburg; dinner; check in to hotel Friday April 16 Visit to Colonial Williamsburg; Heritage Festival adjudication performances Saturday, April 17 Heritage Festival performances (if necessary); balance of the day in Busch Gardens theme park with dinner and awards ceremony in the park Sunday, April 18 Depart for home; US Marine Band concert in Fairfax on the way The trip is open to students in all of the CHS music performing ensembles, AP Music Theory, Music Fundamentals, and Musician’s Workshop classes:
The cost of the trip, which is projected to be approximately $400.00, includes all transportation, 3 nights at a hotel, 3 meals per day, and all admissions and gratuities. Specific details such as times, locations, etc. are still being planned, but we wanted to get as much information as we had out to everyone this week. The cost of this trip is based on the number of participants and we hope that most if not all of our students will be able to join us for this great experience. CHSMPA has offered some great fundraising opportunities throughout the year to help students raise money towards the cost of the trip, and the music department students have been doing their part with the Holiday Trolley, bake sales, and so forth. We still have to pay the bills, however, so we ask that the following payment schedule be adhered to: Deposit due February 26

If you currently have funds in your student account and wish to use that money to cover all or part of the trip costs please indicate that amount on the participation form. Thank you all for your continued support of the CHS music program and our 2010 spring trip. It should be a memorable time for everyone and a chance to make some great music together.
