Madrigal Dinner Tickets

Madrigal Dinner Tickets

Tickets for the Madrigal Dinner, which will be held on Thursday, December 11, 2008, will be on sale at the schools during the week beginning Monday, November 10. Tickets are $15 each and include dinner. Checks should be made payable to the Glasgow High School Supporters of Performing Arts, Inc. or GHSSPA.

Each student will initially be allowed to purchase 2 tickets. Those desiring additional tickets may put their name on a waiting list. Following the week of November 10-14, all remaining tickets will be used to fill the waiting list, to the extent we are able to do so. GHS students will have priority on the additional tickets. Unfortunately, we have a limited number of tickets available for this event, and approximately 175 students participating.

Seating assignments will be available at the door on the night of the performance. We will make every attempt to seat families together.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact GHSSPA, Inc. at ghsspa@glasgow-ky.com, or your music teacher.

Thank you so much for your support of the Glasgow High School Choir and our elementary music programs.

Stephen Foster Music Camp

Dear Parent,

I am writing you to give you more information on Stephen Foster Music Camp. I apologize for not getting you this to you sooner. You can also go online at www.fostercamp.org to get more info, register and sign up for extra things like voice lessons.

Each year the Glasgow Musicale, a local music group, sponsors the students of Glasgow and Barren County. Some years they are able to pay the full amount for each camper. This year, 32 students applied, and they won’t be able to sponsor all 32 at the full cost. With the total cost per child at around $425 , this gets very expensive quickly.

The Musicale will pay a portion of each student’s expense. It is expected that you will pay the initial $50 registration fee. You may pay online with a credit card or write a check and send it to :

Foster Music Camp

Dept. of Music

Eastern Kentucky University

521 Lancaster Ave.- Foster 101

Richmond , Ky. 40475-3102

If you do this by, or close to May 1^st you get an automatic reduction of $20 for early registration. They are giving us a break on the time frame since our audition date was so close to the cut off date. (an extra week) The $20 along with your $50 deposit brings the total amount due to $355 dollars per camper.

Per our conversation by phone the musicale will supply

____________ amount toward the $355 for camp.

Your portion, or remaining balance to be paid upon arrival is, ______________.

I have already sent a check for $20 per child for one voice lesson. Each student can take a total of 3 lessons during the week. The cost for these at your expense. I highly encourage you to pay for these if possible. It is a great opportunity for your child to be able to take voice lessons from a highly trained professional at the college level. They must schedule a time for this lesson upon arrival. If you wish to pay for additional lessons, these must be scheduled upon arrival as well. Thank you for your help in these matters. If you have any questions feel free to call me at 404-6323 or e-mail me at twoodward@glasgow-ky.com .

Sincerely,

Todd Woodward

National Music Week Performance

Dear Parents and Students,

Next Fri. May 9^th the main characters from “Cinderella” have been asked to perform at George J’s on the square from 11:30 until 12:30 as a part of National Music week. They will need to get have a note from home allowing them to do this and ride to the George J's and back with each other. They also need to fill out the necessary form from the GHS office and have their teachers fill this out to have an excused absence. I have already discussed this with Mrs. Bell and there is no problem with it, but we still need to follow all the necessary procedures and policies. Thank you for your help with this matter.

Sincerely,

Todd Woodward
