Our daughter is in the Chorus at the Jazz Festival, and then heading directly to the GIV Winter Weekend. Given the Friday 7:00 performance, she’d be arriving at the winter weekend late, which they usually don’t allow. Do you know the order of the groups for the performance yet? That would be helpful to know when discussing the problem with the GIV folks. Thanks!
I believe that The Jazz Chorus is first, so she should be finished around 7:30pm. Hope that helps!

Does anyone know if lunch is provided for the kiddos?

Does anyone know if students need to bring anything for the day?
TY
Does anyone know if they give the students lunch or if students should bring lunch?
I see dinner is offered for a small fee.

Students usually bring their lunches. There will be hot lunch available, but bringing a lunch is the best option. And yes, dinner is provided. Thank you!
And theres a fee for donner. Correct?
And is there for a fee for dinner?
Yes, there is a $7.50 fee for dinner.
Is there a cost for lunch?
There will be a charge for lunches purchased from the Randolph cafeteria, yes. I will see if I can get that figure. Your child should have, or will soon, receive a schedule of the day. Check with their teacher to get that.
I just found out that here will be no lunch offered for purchase. All festival students must bring their own lunch.
Has the order of the groups for the Spring Festival been determined yet? Hoping to see my daughter’s middle school performance but will not be there til closer to 8. Thanks!
