Hello Everyone!
Good News if you went on the NYC trip - Educational Tours was gracious enough (not the bus company, but the company who planned everything) to refund us a nice sum of money that comes out to somewhere around $25 +/- (give or take a few dollars).
Here is what we are going to do:
- We will be getting in touch with the seniors (and Senior parents) (via the information you gave us in the trip forms) and ask them what they want to do with their money. (Receive the refund or donate to the program.)
- Anyone else still involved with the program (and their parents) will have that money deposited into their child's band account. They can use the money on future trips, music supplies, or lessons (including future band camps). We can refund current members (and their parents) if they want, but we are trying to avoid writing 195 checks. :)
If you have questions or want the check sent to you instead of being deposited (or if you are Senior/Senior parent), email Mr. Smigell / Jade at HHSBandJade@gmail.com (I will be the main one using it - but Smigell will also be using it / checking it - this is keep all the traffic going to one non-busy location and will make it easier to respond back to everyone.). Please email us the address you want us to send the check too - it makes it easier on us to process than having to backtrack all the paperwork from the trip. Thanks!
I will let you know when the checks have been sent out - it may take a few weeks.
Thanks!
~ Nicole "Jade" Prewett
P.S.
Please remember to check the blog frequently throughout the summer - I can't wait to see everyone at Band Camp! :)
