Dear Parents of Elementary School Students,

Exciting things are happening for our Penn-Delco Elementary Music students -- We have been invited to perform the National Anthem at the start of a Wilmington Blue Rocks game on Sunday, June 11th! Penn-Delco’s district-wide Elementary Chorus and “A” Band get to go ON THE FIELD to perform!!! And of course, the entire Penn-Delco Community is invited for an evening of baseball! Following the game will be an opportunity for students to run the bases. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to showcase their talents as well as raise money for our music program!

Please return the Ticket Order Form and Student Permission Slip byThursday, March 02, 2017. Everyone MUST have a ticket in order to enter the ballpark (performers, too). Please read all information carefully. If you have any questions, please contact your school’s music ensemble director.

We thank you for you support of the Penn-Delco Music Programs and look forward to seeing you at the GAME!

Sincerely,
