Fiddle Fest Ticket Information

Dear Parents,

This year marks an extra special milestone for the Burlington Township School District’s orchestra program.  We are celebrating the 10th year of Fiddle Fest.  This year’s performance will be held on Thursday, May 30, 2013 at 6:30 P.M. in the Performing Arts Center.  The 10th Anniversary Extravaganza will feature the Fountain Woods School Orchestra, Burlington Township Middle School Orchestra and the Burlington Township High School Orchestra.  The students are working very hard to make this a memorable evening.

Due to the number of supporters who attend our shows, we are requiring tickets for this event.  There will be an online ticket-tron for parents and the general public to order tickets.  Fiddle Fest is free, but you will have to order tickets.  Once you order your general admission ticket, you will pick your ticket up at the will call in the lobby of the PAC on the evening of the performance.

The ticket-tron will be available beginning Monday, May 13, 2013. You may go online to place your order by visiting the district website and clicking the link that says Fiddle Fest.  You may also call 609-699-4025 to reserve tickets.  Please leave your full name, and please spell your last name, your phone number, and the total number of tickets you would like to reserve.  You will be able to be reserve up to 4 tickets.  If more tickets are needed please speak with Mrs. Corvino or Mrs. Gross.  

In the spirit of celebrating this 10th anniversary of Fiddle Fest, the students will be making a donation to the Burlington Township Food Pantry.  We are asking our guests to bring a non-perishable food item the night of the concert.  Donations can be deposited in the yellow donation bins that will be located in the PAC lobby.

If you have any questions, please contact your child's orchestra teacher.  We are looking forward to a magical and memorable evening.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth A. Scott, M.A.

District Supervisor

PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY

Due to the overwhelming attendance at our Winter concert, this concert will be a ticketed event.  While tickets are free, you must reserve them in advance.  Information regarding our box office procedures for reserving tickets will be attached to a copy of this sheet which will be distributed to your child next week.

This concert should be over by approximately 8:30 p.m.  Please stay for the duration of the performance.  When the student’s performance is completed they will go sit in the audience as a group to watch the remainder of the concert until the finale.  There will be a finale performance at the conclusion of the concert that each child will participate in.  I feel it is important and inspirational for the young Fountain Woods string players to see the older students perform.  After the finale, the students will return to the cafeteria to be picked up by their parents.  Should you need to leave the concert early, please report to the cafeteria and a Fountain Woods staff member will collect your child from the auditorium.  Please, do not attempt to take your child from the auditorium.  This creates a disruption to the people around you who wish to enjoy the concert. 

If you have any questions regarding the above rehearsal or performance, please feel free to contact me.
