UWG Concert Field Trip 6th Grade Only (11/15)

Some of our band students have the opportunity to visit UWG’s campus in November! I have attached the jotform below to sign up. Students who have sold one box of chocolate have earned half off and only owe $7.50 for their trip. Students who sold 2 boxes of chocolate have fundraised enough to have a free field trip! If your student did not sell a box of chocolates, they will owe $15. You may pay with cash, check (written out to CMS Band), or online under “payments” on our website.

Kennesaw State University Field Trip (7th and 8th grade only)

Our 7th and 8th graders have their next field trip to KSU in November on November 7th. It is a fantastic trip and is so much fun for our students.

Students who have sold one box of chocolate have earned half off and only owe $7.50 for their trip. Students who sold 2 boxes of chocolate have fundraised enough to have a free field trip! If your student did not sell a box of chocolates, they will owe $15. You may pay with cash, check (written out to CMS Band), or online under “payments” on our website. I typically encourage 8th graders to allow their chocolate money to go to Carowinds rather than this trip since that trip is pricier. Please let me know what your preference is.
