- Performance Duration: 45 minutes
Logistics:
- Student Participation: Each school is allowed to send up to 60 students.
- Supervision: Each school must ensure sufficient adult supervision, with a minimum of one adult chaperone per 30 students.
- Funding: School-based budgets will cover the cost of substitute teachers (if needed), while the Teaching and Learning Department will handle busing fees.
Action Required:
- Google Form Submission: To participate, complete the attached Google Form by October 15, 2025.
- Transportation Request: Your school’s administrative assistant should submit a transportation request via Skyward. Include the number of teachers and chaperones in your school's final count. Ensure your bus request includes the correct group name (e.g., South Hills, 115 Curr) to facilitate coverage of the bus fee by the Teaching and Learning Department.
Preparation: Utah Symphony will provide study materials to help prepare students and enhance their experience. We strongly encourage utilizing these resources to maximize the educational value of the performance.
For any further information or assistance, please feel free to reach out. We look forward to your school’s participation in this enriching musical experience.
