West Shore Music Trip 2021
Dear Music Department Parents and Students of the Class of 2021-2024,
Believe it or not, the music faculty at Cedar Cliff and Red Land have begun planning for our joint music trip for the 2020-2021 school year (two years from now). This trip will be offered to current 7th- 10th graders, who will be 9th-12th graders in the 2020-2021 school year.
Starting in 2017 with our joint trip to Disney World, FL, the CC/RL music departments established a 4-year trip rotation schedule: one MAJOR joint trip every FOUR years, one mid-major trip every TWO years by school (for instance, CC Music just went to Chicago; RL Music just went to Toronto/Niagara Falls).
That brings us to our 2021 trip discussion.
We are asking for your help in determining our destination. While we can happily return to Disney World, we want to reach out and see if there is 1) interest and 2) financial ability to pursue a trip to a more extensive location.
We are asking that you fill out the Google Form found at the link on the bottom of this page. Before you do, remember:
1) Complete this form honestly, and with both the student AND PARENT completing it TOGETHER
2) Remember that this is a trip for the 2020-2021 school year – TWO years from now.
3) Current seniors and juniors do NOT complete. This is for current 7th-10th graders.
4) As you look at the costs, again remember that you will have significant time to fundraise money and seeks financial support from relatives, friends, etc.
5) As you look at the costs, remember that not all payment will be due at once (i.e. a payment plan over an entire year)
6) This is ONLY a survey.
With that in mind, please complete this survey by next Friday, May 17th.

5K Highmark Walk for Health
The West Shore Foundation is working on their current fundraiser the "5K Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community" and encouraging everyone to get involved! The foundation supports all of our students in the district and recently provided money for a grant to commission a music composition for the West Shore Chamber Percussion that they premiered in Pittsburgh two weeks ago!
The Walk is on Saturday, May 18th. I am challenging everyone to help support the foundation by donating a small amount of money or even better, donate and walk with me!
If we can get 25 people to register and walk with me or $1,000 in donations, I will do the walk in a West Shore Marching Band Uniform! If we get get 50 people to register and walk or $2,500 in donations, I will do it in a Marching Band Uniform and carry a tuba! If we can get more, I will figure something else out!
