Students & Parents,

On Saturday, February 7th several PHS students will participate in the Indiana District Solo and Ensemble Contest held this year at Valparaiso High School in Valparaiso. We will be leaving by bus from the high school at 8:00 a.m.(Plymouth time) on Saturday morning returning at approximately 6:00 p.m. Students should meet in the choir room by 7:50 that morning. Crimson Connection members please remember to bring all your costume needs with you (don't forget extra stockings).

Everyone is expected to ride the buses to this event, but if you chose to take your child home after they are through please indicate on the form sent home of any alternate transportation. No one will be permitted to make changes on the day of the competition unless I have written approval from a parent/guardian.

The events are open to anyone who would like to attend, so if you plan to come to Valparaiso you will be allowed to attend each event.

Any 1st Division entrant who receives a Gold Rating will qualify for State Competition and MUST PAY FOR THEIR STATE ENTRY FEE THIS SATURDAY. The cost is $12.00 per Solo and $6.00 per Ensemble. If you are writing a check make it payable to PHS.
