NYC Trip Participants


One week from now we will be waking up in NYC! It’s time to start packing and getting everything ready for your trip!

We will be having a Parent/Student meeting Monday, April 16 at 6-6:30 pm in the High School Band room, before the NYC rehearsal. Immediately following there will be a brief Parent Chaperone meeting. I will send out an email Monday night recapping the meeting in case you cannot make it.

Some things to know while you are packing…

You may bring ONE normal sized suitcase (remember YOU have to carry it from the bus) and ONE carry on like a back pack or a tote. The carry on is important because you need a change of clothes and toiletries because we do NOT have access to our suitcases Thursday morning. Also, later in the trip you might want to pack a change of clothes for the Musical or Symphony. We only return to the hotel each night to sleep! Also, refer to the packing list that came with your trip packet.

Also you may bring a small pillow and throw to use on the bus. Once you choose a seat and a bus, it’s YOURS throughout the trip. No changing buses.

Remember to pack your Instrument and music.

You will need to bring money for the meals not covered…Wednesday Dinner, Thursday-Saturday Lunch and Sunday Breakfast. We suggest to budget $8-10 a meal. We usually stop at Fast Food or Food Courts. Remember you might need money for snacks and spending money.

Please bring your questions Monday night, See you then!
Any missing field trip forms need to be turned in at the meeting!!!!!!!!!!!
