Senior Festival Information
January 9, 2025
-
The first Senior Festival rehearsal is this Saturday, 9:00am-3:00pm at Minnechaug Regional High School. We will use the "community entrance" which is NOT the entrance in the front of the building with the very large columns; it's the entrance in the back of the building on the left with the slightly smaller columns, labeled "C5" above the door. As a reminder, please bring your signed Principal Form and registration payment. There are not nearly enough music stands at Minnechaug for every student. Students should bring a folding music stand if at all possible. Students should also bring food for lunch. There will not be food available for purchase.

Tickets are required for the concert. Advance tickets are available at this link.

There will be two sectionals offered for members of the Senior Chorus: Wednesday, January 8th, 5-7pm at Longmeadow High School and Thursday, January 9th, 5-7pm at Monument Mountain Regional High School. Senior Chorus members are highly encouraged to attend. Thank you to Kayla Werlin and Julie Bickford for hosting!
