Fourth-Grade Symphony Field Trip 2019-20: OUT OF SCHOOL TRIP CANCELLED; See below for VIRTUAL CONCERT LINK
Once again this year, fourth-grade students will travel to Meymandi Hall in Raleigh for the North Carolina Symphony Concert. This year's concert will be held on Thursday, March 19, 2020. Classroom teachers will send out permission slips prior to the event. Although there is a small charge per student (approximately $4.00--less money than parking a car in the parking deck) to cover the Wake County School bus transportation, there is no admission charge (courtesy of Wake County Schools and the North Carolina Symphony). Due to extremely tight seating arrangements and schools from all across the state attending, no parent chaperones travel with us for this concert. The North Carolina Symphony is excited to release a digital broadcast (or virtual concert) from a previous year. The concert can be accessed at ncsymphony.org/virtual. The password is: 1932.
