To Whom It May Concern,
I have been selected for the 2017 Middle School Honors Performance Series. I am going to New York City this June for an amazing opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall with other selected Junior Finalists! The Middle School Honors Performance Series brings together exceptional middle school performers from the U.S., Canada, and select international schools. Junior Finalists have the opportunity to study under master conductors, work with other elite musicians and perform at Carnegie Hall. We spend a total of 5 days together in New York City. Here are some of the exciting activities that are planned:
Perform in the exclusive Honors Junior Performance at Carnegie Hall on Sunday, June 25, 2017
Work with master conductors and build your performing resume Attend a Broadway Show, see famous sites, and experience the excitement of New York City Celebrate your accomplishments at the Junior Finalist Celebration in Times Square Stay in the heart of Manhattan and rehearse with other accomplished Junior Finalists
In order to take part in this opportunity, I need to raise $2,000.00. Please help me by sponsoring a portion of my trip. Any contribution you could make would bring me that much closer to this once-in-a-lifetime experience. You may send your contribution to me at Christian Briones/Pamela Briones, 2221 W. Arbor Harlingen, TX 78552, or directly to the program at Honors Performance Series, 1359 Broadway, Suite 1504, New York, NY 10018.
Please call or email me if you have any questions or want to hear more about this really great learning opportunity. You can learn more about the program by visiting the website at www.honorsperformance.org. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Christian Briones
