NYC Chaperone Meeting Reminder:
NYC Trip Chaperone Meeting is Thursday, April 7th at 7pm in the HHS Band Room. It is important for all chaperones to be there. Please contact Christyne MacDermaid at (734) 476 - 0312 or christynemacdermaid@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.
NYC Trip:
We need everyone paid in full and forms turned in. There are many that haven't turned in forms and a few people who still has a balance. We need chaperones to turn in the trip release forms as well as students. We are very fortunate to have a nurse that volunteers her time to come along on our trips. She needs any and all information on you in case of emergency. Even, if you aren't taking medication, we still need to know who to call in an emergency. If you aren't sure if you turned in forms, or need to know if you still have a balance, please call, text or email Christyne MacDermaid 734-476-0312, christynemacdermaid@gmail.com. I will get back to you ASAP.
Forms:
Release Form, Medical, Special Needs Request and Info Packet: Here
If you don't hand in trip release forms - you can't legally go - that's why it's so important to hand these forms in - the trip is less than 2 weeks away now!
People who haven't handed in forms in yet: (If you did today, they are being collected after Howell-Palooza's rehearsal from the HHS Band Room's mailbox - so disregard this):
Y = Yes, they have handed in.
NYC Trip Rehearsal Dates:
If you are going on the New York Trip and play an instrument, you must make THREE of these FOUR rehearsals:
Tuesday, April 12th, 5-7pm
Wednesday, April 13th, 2:30-4:30PM
Monday, April 18th, 2:30-4:30PM
Tuesday April 19th, 5-7PM
If there are conflicts please let Mr. Smigell know. Also, the "three out of four" rule does not mean you should only come to three of the rehearsals. If you can make all four, please do.
NYC Nice Outfits:
Students (and Adults) will need two/three nice outfits for this trip (you can wear one twice if you want). One for student's clinic, one for the Broadway show and one for the Orchestra concert. What they wear for the first concert should be fine / the minimum requirement. Feel free to ask Smigell if you are unsure.
Dress code from the first concert was:
Dress Code: "Dress nicely". This means NO TSHIRTS, SWEATSHIRTS/PANTS, JEANS, OR TENNIS SHOES / SANDALS - NO LOGOS / HOLES / TEARS. Obviously this also means that all clothing needs to be school appropriate as well. Gentlemen - a nice shirt and tie with slacks or khakis will do. Ladies - a nice blouse or sweater with a skirt or slacks put you in the clear.
NYC Trip Report Time / Leaving / Arriving:
Report Time is at 5pm on Wednesday, April 20th . Everyone must check in - this includes chaperones.
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).
