CMEA/BROADMOOR TRIP INFORMATION:
Please follow the itinerary that has been posted and handed out. We need to arrive to the main building of the Broadmoor no later than 9am on Thursday, 1/24. Please wear your blue/slacks outfit. Parents, you can use valet parking for $18 or self service for $8.00. Please arrive early – by 11:00am, or you may not be admitted in the ballroom. You must have a ticket to get in, so your student, on Sunday, should have brought home the number of tickets that you ordered. We will have someone at the door with additional tickets if you need them. I also have some wrist bands which will admit you into all the convention activities throughout Thursday, so please let me know after the concert how many you would like. Please remember you need to dress in semi-formal attire for the concert. We perform from 11:45am until 12:30pm. The DVD/CD combo sells for $35 if you’re interested.
