All District Choral Festival Rescheduled to Tuesday, March 3rd: https://enumclawwa.sites.thrillshare.com/article/2722617
Dear ESD Families,
The Enumclaw School District All District Choral Festival must be moved from its original date, Tuesday, February 24th, to the following Tuesday, March 3rd. We are having to make this date change due to our boys varsity basketball team needing to host a finals game. They have worked hard to earn this high seeding within their rankings, and we have tried to work with the WIAA and all building Administrations to find a different solution. However, the only option is to utilize the gym for the basketball game on the 24th, which moves our concert event to the following Tuesday, March 3rd.
All of your students' music teachers are informed and they will be letting your students know when they see them. Please feel free to inform them early as well.
All times of arrival and start time are all going to be the same.
We know this is an inconvenience, but it is also a celebration of how wonderful the sports and music activities are here at Enumclaw.
We look forward to seeing you on March 3rd, and we thank you for your continued support and patience.
Thank you all,
The Music Team of Enumclaw School District
