The TOCS State Competition is right around the corner on March 7. Your children have worked hard and I believe they will be well rewarded at competition. There are a few final details I want to make you aware of as competition nears.
Dress
Junior high and senior high boys will need to wear black pants, black dress shoes, white dress shirt and a red tie. The girls need to wear a modest black dress or a black skirt and white dress shirt. This is same dress code that they had for the Christmas program.
Food
There will be lunch and dinner at competition for the students. The total cost for these meals is $11. Mrs. Beckie will be charging your TADS accounts next week for the meals. All students are required to eat the competition meals. Parents are welcome to come to competition and eat the meals, but I will need to know by next Friday, February 21, if you will be eating the meals. Because it is a busy day of competition and there are not many options for food in Pittsburg, I recommend that you eat at the competition.
Travel, etc.
You are welcome to come to Pittsburg to see your child compete. If you will be coming to the competition to watch your child compete, you will need to transport your child to Pittsburg. We will be meeting at the school at 5:15a and you are welcome to follow the buses, but it is not necessary to come to school first. Just make sure you are at Bethel Christian Academy in Pittsburg by 8:45a. The address for Bethel Christian Academy is: 614 Mt Pleasant St, Pittsburg, TX 75686 For the students that will not have parents going to the competition, they will need to be at the school at 5:15a. We will not return to the school until approximately 11:00p
Nationals Reminder
I need to know by March 3rd if your senior high student will be able to attend nationals in Greenville, SC, if they qualify at the state competition. The dates for Nationals is April 7-11 and the cost will be approximately $100-125. Feel free to reply with any questions or concerns that you may have.
Thanks,
