Boston itinerary, Collage, Banquet and more

Good evening!!

Final Boston Information

Departure day, April 25, we will need your student's luggage dropped off prior to the start of school or right at 2pm so we can load the busses.  The busses will be leaving Howell High at 3:30pm sharp.  There really isn't time for running home due to check in and loading all of the instruments and luggage.  Students, make sure you have a soft carry on backpack or small bag, with a change of clothes, toothbrush, deodorant, and freshening up items for the following day.  We will freshen up in hotel rooms when we arrive at the hotel Thursday morning and then it's off for our first full day in Boston.  You will have access to your main piece of luggage Thursday evening when we unload.  All medications must be in their original prescription bottle, labled in a ziplock bag with your students name, and turned into Nurse Baker at check in. 

Please take a look at the Final Boston Itinerary so you can plan and pack accordingly.  It will help you to have a copy with you on the trip so you can follow along with the plan for the day, so please print this.  In years past, we've changed clothing mid-day, prior to the symphony to dressy attire.  This year we will not be doing that.  Instead we are asking that you try to go for business casual on this day.  So, no ripped jeans or sloppy attire.  We realize we will be on the go, in Boston, all day prior to the symphony and hope you'll be comfortable, but presentable for the symphony.

Parents and guardians, please keep an eye on our FaceBook page, Howell HS Band for updates on our arrival time on Sunday, April 29.  We will also remind the students to text or call home with updates on our arrival time as well.  Students, please remember to bring cash for the meals that you will have on your own.  Please text or email Christyne MacDermaid with any questions you have.  734-476-0312 or christynemacdermaid@gmail.com
