Permission Slips: Currently, we are waiting for our website designer to update all permission slips on the GPFAA VM websites (thank you for your flexibility). Permission slips will be electronically submitted to your GPFAA VM website. If you are taking and/or picking up your student in front of the event, or if your student is driving themselves, you need to fill out another permission form called the “Alternate Student Travel Form.” This form needs to be filled out every single time your student does not take bus transportation. (This is a district rule.) We may need a paper permission slip for this event. We’ll keep you informed and give out the slips as needed. Thank you for your patience as we wait for our website designer to make the required updates.
All forms are due Tuesday, September 12, 2023.
Transportation: district school bus
What to bring: original music, Student ID, sack lunch, water, pencil, paper clips, highlighter
Attire: No specific attire is needed—plan for comfort and success.
Chaperone/Volunteer: YES- we will need help. There will be two different groups helping in different ways. One group will be helping with the actual contest, and the other group will help directly with our own students. click here to volunteer.
*Additional notes: Students will not be able to have any electronic devices at this contest. Any electronic device will be with a chaperone, and students can not have it back until all singers exit the facility. Karen Gay, Guild Events Coordinator, will be the parent you will contact if you need to get a hold of your student or have any questions on the day of the event. You can reach her @ 361-739-8034
