On Jan 19th we have been asked to have directors and students park in the back half of the lot closest to East Hills in the remaining four rows. Any schools that are busing students on Jan 19th are asked to drop off in the bus channel, entering by the gymnasium and pulling up in the bus channel in front of the school.
Registration cost for the festival is $30 per student, most participating school payments have been received. I will send you a confirmation e-mail for your records.
