The Bow Valley Music Festival provides music students with an opportunity to perform before their peers, family, and friends in an encouraging master-class atmosphere. Our aim is to foster a love for music and inspire the youth of the Valley to develop this life-skill to its fullest potential. The festival provides the music teachers of the Valley with a venue in which to exchange ideas and support.
The Bow Valley Music Festival 2023 is excited to stage a live Festival after 2 years of Virtual Festivals.
This is a friendly reminder to register interested students between FEBRUARY 1st and MARCH 9th when registration closes.

** Check this out if you're interested in singing/playing a solo for a masterclass style festival.

Your child should have their own unique Purdy’s letter shared with them through Google Classroom. However, I have attached a document with each student’s login and ‘Join Link’ that you can use to send out to family and friends. Please read through your child’s letter for more instructions.
 
Purdy’s has always been an incredible fundraiser for us. Many families who own businesses or work in an office that need Christmas gifts for their employees use this fundraiser to purchase what they need.
 
** The profit from everything sold goes directly into your child’s personal music account. This is not a shared fundraiser. The more they individually sell, the more money they collect into their personal music account through the Cochrane High School Band Parents Association. This CHSBPA music account can be used to pay for uniforms, CHSBPA $40 fee, music field trips/tour, etc. It cannot be used to pay RVS school fees or for any other program in our school. A big thank you goes out to the CHSBPA, who directly supports us in our fundraising campaigns to make this happen for your student.
 
Place and Pay for Orders Online by:   Friday, October 28, 2022
Pickup Orders by:  Tuesday, November 22, 2022 (More information on pickup will be out at a later date)
 
** I highly recommend fundraising this year, as we have the opportunity now to have a regular performance, workshop, and traveling season. Information on our Symphonic and Choir tour to Halifax will be coming out asap! The first deposit for that will be $450, due on November 4. I have pushed future payments for the tour out until January, so that families have time to fundraise.
 
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
