UK Tour Information
Friday, October 21, 2016 by Brian Glosh | Uncategorized
Dear Parents,
Many thanks for attending the meeting on Friday, October 14th. It is good to hear that the year, generally, has got off to a steady start.
The purpose of writing to you is to confirm the conversation with regards to the proposed tour to the UK next June. While we had a majority of the parents present, I realize that not all where there so am writing to you with what was discussed and also a clear consensus that seemed to come from that discussion.
Proposed Tour Dates
Saturday June 17 th – Sunday June 25 th June
Performance Venues
Warwick, Worcester Cathedral, Lincoln Cathedral, Ely Cathedral & London (venue TBD)
Sightseeing
Warwick Castle, Shakespeare’s Birthplace, Lincoln Castle, King’s College Chapel and the Tower of London
Cost of Tour
$3500 all inclusive
Who Goes?
All 42 boy and girl chorister. 6 chaperones
How is this tour funded?
This tour needs to be funded through parent contributions. With music program fundraising goal set for the year and still incomplete it is not going to be possible to add this to our fundraising goal.
The cost is going to be a challenge for me?
As with all previous tours we have managed to support families through the generosity of other parents. The attached form gives opportunity for parents to request support and also for those to indicate if they are able to add some funds to support others. Mr. Glosh will then reach out directly to individual families to discuss. This will be handled confidentially.
What Happens Next?
Mr. Glosh will circulate a form which we ask you to return by Friday 28 th October. Before being able to proceed to contract, I will need to demonstrate that this tour is self-funding. Your quick return of forms will help this process.
Finally, it has been a sadness to me that, for financial reasons, the Cathedral Music Program has not been able to consider tours for former generations of choristers. I am delighted that we can now begin to provide these opportunities, as I know first-hand what experiences they provide and the huge benefit they are to the general well-ness, musical and otherwise for the program! Exciting times!
Best wishes,
Michael McCarthy
