Dear Orchestra Parents,
The Green Valley Chamber and Symphony Orchestras have traditionally taken a larger trip every other year. The next time we would be scheduled to do this would be next year. Before I begin to make definite plans I would like to get parental input on several trip options. Listed below is general information on several trip choices I am currently considering. All the trips would include 1 to 2 meals a day, all transportation, hotel, and sightseeing activities. Please read through this information with your student and fill out the attached survey. I am hoping that all surveys can be returned no later than Thursday, May 12
