We will have hot chocolate and other treats while we can all come together and have a good time watching a holiday movie! The movie will be decided this week!! We hope you can make it out! BAND TRIP!!! - Finally, after lots of phone calls, emails, and speaking with the band students, we have decided to go back to Universal/islands of adventure for a 3 day band trip from may 3rd-5th! This trip seems to be the most cost effective AND fun for the students compared to other similar trips. This will cost each student $500, and will include the following: 1. Travel cost 2. Two night hotel cost with breakfasts included 3. Two full days at islands of adventure, and universal. 4. A ticket to Medieval Times with dinner included. 5. Participation in the Music USA Concert Band Festival. For students that would like to go, our first payment will be due on Monday December 18th, and it will be $100 per student. This will be our “commitment” payment which will essentially secure your spot on the trip. The remaining balance can be paid in your own time, as long as it is paid in full by the final payment date listed below. I have made a suggested payment schedule for monthly payments… December 18th - $100 January 19th - $100 February 16th - $100 March 15th - $100 April 12th - $100 (final balance due) - We will also be needing between 6-8 parent chaperones willing to attend the trip. The chaperone/student combination will receive a discounted rate of $875 for the package. The suggested payment schedule for chaperones and students is listed below: December 18th: $175 January 19th - $175 February 16th - $175 March 15th - $175 April 12th - $175 Thank you all very much for everything you do! Thanks to those of you who have been helping out at the Gift Wrap Booth and are planning to help! In order to keep the high standard of performance excellence within our program, a certain amount of funds is unfortunately vital. Your help is so appreciated!!
