HHS NYC Trip

The HHS NYC Band Trip is here!

NYC Trip:

1) NO NUTS on the bus / in rooms. We have some students who are severely allergic to all nuts - so to make sure we have a safe environment for them, we ask everyone to please do not bring anything with nuts to snack on on the bus / eat in the rooms. Thanks!

2) Clothes. We have a few announcements to make about changing into nice clothes. You will only need 2 nice outfits now - (One for the Symphony and one for the Broadway - details below). Once we leave the hotel for the day - we don't return until the night.

  • Wednesday =>; Thursday: Everyone needs to have their Thursday daytime (casual) outfit and one of their nice outfits for the Symphony (and w/e else they need for them - aka toiletries, dress shoes, etc.) in their carry on when they get on the bus on Wednesday. We won't be able to get into our suitcases until we check into the hotel on Thursday night - so make sure you have everything you need with you in your carry on. Changing rooms will be available at the hotel (when we get there for breakfast) and we will stop to change somewhere later on in the day for the Symphony.
  • Friday:  To make everyone more comfortable throughout the day (and to save time) - student's don't need to dress up for their music clinician performance anymore. Whatever you wear at the clinician will be what you will wear all day until we change for the Broadway show. We ask students to not wear holey or stained clothes - but they are allowed to wear jeans and a tshirt if they want. Everyone most bring their formal outfit / shoes  / etc. that they are going to wear to the Broadway show w/ them on their carry on. We will stop and change somewhere later on in the day for the Broadway. 
  • Saturday: AKA - Casual Saturday. Only bring whatever you want to wear / need for the bus ride home on your carry on. You will not have access to your suitcase once we load it up.
Forms:
Release Form, Medical, Special Needs Request and Info Packet / Packing ListHere
 Final Itinerary - (Minor changes like where we will stop to change is not on the itinerary since due to the nature of the trip, the exact timing will depend on how we are progressing / traffic /etc.)

Packing List:  Here

Students are responsible for 3 lunches on trip - including anything else they want to buy and / or snack on. It is recommended to at least bring $50 for the 3 lunches since pricing is expensive (think Cedar Point or Disney expensive).



NYC Trip Report Time / Leaving / Arriving:

Report Time is at 5pm on Wednesday, April 20th . Everyone must check in - this includes chaperones.

Eat dinner before checking in - the buses won't be stopping for a while after we leave.

We will be arriving at HHS on Sunday, April 24th at about 9:30am - We will update the blog / Facebook when we are within 1 hr from the HS with a clear ETA (because traffic is always a mystery when traveling).

Senior Students on the NYC:
A Reminder: Tomorrow is the only day you can buy prom tickets. They are $50 and won't be on sale after this week.
