About This Trip

Concert Information

Because this is not a school field trip, each

student will need to bring 10 dollars to cover
transportation. Any additional fees for
transportation will be covered under the music
department budget.

What instruments would you choose to create the

sound of a massive elephant lumbering across the
Sahara, an elegant swan or a school of fish
swimming with the current? Discover how members
of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra can conjure a
zoo full of characters in this concert featuring SaintSans popular Carnival of the Animals. Program
Review for Chicago Symphony Convert

Name of Piece: Carnival of the Animals

The concert will cost 10 dollars per student.

This includes tax.
Students are responsible for bringing at least
$12.00 for lunch.
Therefore, the total cost of this trip is $32.00.

Permission Slips
It is important that students submit their
permission slips and the money for the
transportation and concert ($20.00), by
Thursday March 19, 2015. If students do not
bring their permission slips by Thursday, they
will NOT be going on the field trip. Parents will
have to check off on the permission form
whether they are lodging in Chicago the night
before or meeting us at school on Friday.

Chaperones
All Chaperones are responsible for buying their
own lunch. The bus fee and concert ticket will
be covered by the music department. Groups
that each chaperone will be responsible for, will
be determined Friday morning (1 hour before
departure).

Students are currently learning about musical

timbre. Timbre describes the quality of a note,
which is also referred to as tone color. What
better way for students to learn about different
timbres than hearing the sound each instrument
can produce in the orchestra. Students will
observe and describe the instruments sounds
that remind them of a specific animal. This
activity will help them learn how to listen better
in the band and to know what other
instruments are playing with them. This will
help them learn to adjust and play together.

Composer: Camille Saint-Sans

Conductor: Vladimir Kulenovic
