Choir Tour
CHOIR TOUR 2021
2021-2022 A Cappella and Madrigal members are eligible to go on tour.
Proposed Tour: Honolulu, Hawaii (Island of Oahu)
Proposed tour dates: December 3-8, 2021. Days out of school: December 6, 7, 8
Anticipated cost: $2100-$2300 *based on 40+ student participants and chaperones
The proposed tour is to accept an invitation to perform at the 2021 Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Our choir would be a part of many different student groups in the parade. Here is a little information I've received about the parade.
I know the cost of the tour may be prohibitive to some singers. Each family must consider what is best for their situation. This is something the Marching Band participated in in 2014 and I would love to have our choir students be able to have the same opportunity, especially during this 80th anniversary. This really is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to sing during the 80th anniversary of such a significant historical event.
Please review the information carefully, then fill out the preliminary vote for the tour.

I will be available on May 4th from 5-6 PM and from 7:45-8:30-ish PM in the Westlake Choir room if any of you would like to ask questions in person. There is an Independent Music Study Recital at 6:30 in the choir room, and it should end between 7:30 and 7:45, so I will be there before and after if any of you want to come in to discuss anything about the tour.
FUNDRAISERS
In order to help students earn funds towards tour, the choral department will hold two main fundraisers.
Enjoy pictures from our previous tours to LA/Anaheim 2015, San Fransisco 2014, New York City 2013 and Las Vegas and San Diego in 2012.

- Because the parade is so large we have several locations set-up along the parade route and have choirs at each location to sing the National Anthem before the parade starts. The choir would also perform during the official public ceremony and at Pearl Harbor for the International Salute to Liberation in front of the USS Missouri.

FUNDRAISERS
In order to help students earn funds towards tour, the choral department will hold two main fundraisers.
- We will be selling cookie dough in early September. Students will be able to earn 45% of what they sell.
- Our first concert is used as a fundraiser since admission is charged for this concert. Students will earn $4 of the student ticket price and $6 of the adult price they pre-sale. Tickets that are bought at the door will go in the general choir account.
