Field Trip Information

A final count for this trip will be given to Carousel Dinner Theatre on October 14. Once this number is given to them, we will be required to pay the balance of our tickets. If anyone cancels after that time, we will not receive a refund. If something comes up and you can not go, hopefully you can find someone to take your spot so that you don't lose your money.

In addition, once we know for sure the number of people going on the trip, we can accurately schedule charter buses to get us there. The amount of those buses will be divided by the number going. Therefore, after next week, I should be able to give you an exact total for the trip. Please note that it will most likely be between $65 - $70.

The RV CHORUS Handbook states that students wishing to attend any field trip must maintain at least a B in class. The end of the 1st 9 weeks is somewhere around October 29. Anyone receiving less than a B on his/her report card will not be permitted to go to Carousel. If you have questions about classroom participation and grading, please refer to the Handbook.

Market Day Catalog Fund-Raiser

All orders - with money - are due on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10.
Please be sure to total your order before turning it in.
Reminder: All checks should be make out to RV CHORUS
Your Profit: 50% of your order !!
Delivery: Expected date for our order arriving at RV is November 5.

So, what's with this "goal"? This amount was set to simply give you an idea of what you need to sell in order to pay off the cost of the field trip. If you don't make your goal, that is ok...you will just need to be sure to sell the next fund-raiser or simply send in a deposit to your account.

More about EBAY

If you are a first time "ebayer" and create an account at Ebay - the chorus will recieve $15 !! But again, you must get to Ebay using the link on the right of this screen.

All Ebay sellers pay a small fee for selling their items online. The chorus will receive a portion of those fees on sales made through this blog.

Still Deciding About the Field Trip?

If you still aren't sure about whether to go to the Carousel Dinner Theatre, here are some thoughts for you...


*If you are worried about missing school - check with your teachers at least one day before the trip to see what you will miss. You may be able to get some of the work done ahead of time. If you can read while in a vehicle, you may be able to get some of your reading done on the bus ride - it will be a 2 hour trip.


*If you are worried about money - try out the first fund-raiser later this month. Maybe you'll surprise yourself and make a decent amount of money. If - once that fund-raiser is over - you decide you'd like to go, just let me know and I will add you to the list. A final number will need to be given to the Theatre by the middle of October.

*If you just don't know if you want to go - ask anyone that's been there how fun it is. Its a great time to have a great meal and see a fun show. The theatre is not too big so all of the seats are good!

Keep in mind that you must maintain at least a B in class in order to go on the field trip!

Did You See the EBAY link over there?

Its true! You can shop at Ebay AND raise money for the RV Chorus at the same time. All you need to do is click the link to the right of the screen and make your bids on Ebay. That's all you need to do. You don't have to do anything special once you get to Ebay's website. But remember...you can not go directly to Ebay and then find the chorus to get the profit. You need to go to Ebay through the link on this Blog site.

Don't need anything on Ebay yourself? Send a link to this Blog to your family and friends and maybe they would like to help us out. Note that there are no additional fees - payment for your Ebay item will be the same as if you just went to the site direclty.

Happy Bidding!

1st Fund-Raiser

We will begin our first fund-raiser on September 29th. The fund-raiser will be through a company called MARKET DAY. All students in junior and senior high chorus will receive a catalog filled with gift wrap, cards, food items, magazines, jewelry, gifts, and much more. Profit will be at least 50% !!

This fund-raiser will be kicked off during Activity Period on Monday, September 29th. A representative from the company will be here to share with you how to make this fund-raiser a success for you. As an added bonus, students will be told about incentive prizes that they can win depending on their total sales! These prizes will be in addition to the cash profits!


Our second fund-raiser, Village Pizza Ticket Sale, will begin in late October.
