You have proven yourself to be an outstanding chorus student at Madison, 
skilled and dependable. Last fall your name was submitted to a committee and 
recently I have been notified that your name has been selected to represent

A bus will provide transportation there and back on Friday 
and there only on Saturday.

2. You must be available to rehearse the assigned music with me on Fridays 
and willing to rehearse it on your own as well.  I will also be making tapes 
for you to practice at home with.

3. Return the following by February 7th:

	Health form
	Madison Permission Slip

***Please let me know as soon as possible if you are not available for any

the next student on the waiting list if you are unable to attend.

I look forward to experiencing this wonderful opportunity with you as you 
join with the best middle school voices in the region and work with a 
wonderful conductor. After receiving your forms, I will forward you more

as soon as we receive the music in the mail.)

Congratulations again!

Sincerely,
Deana W Saunders,
