The APPROXIMATE total cost of the Band Trip per student is $430.  This figure is based on a participation of 40 band and chorus students.

 The cost of the trip may go up or down by a small amount depending on the number of students participating and potential (but unlikely) fuel surcharges charged by the bus company.

 If for any reason the student cancels their participation on this trip, I understand that monies will be forfeited.

It is also my understanding that any monies contributed towards this trip through fundraising are non-refundable.

Special arrangements of deadlines will be considered by the band director and Booster Board if the need should occur.  Failure to communicate verbally and in writing will result in forfeiture of funds and the above named student will be excluded from participating in this trip.

The band director may deny participation in this event.  Denial on the basis of disciplinary action shall result in forfeiture of all deposits and fundraising

I also acknowledge that if for any reasons of inappropriate behavior, my child must be sent home early from the trip; I am responsible for the cost of transportation

Payment Schedule: 

• Oct 21              $25.00 NON-REFUNDABLE Deposit (must be cash/check/credit card payment) *
• Nov 17              $75.00 NON-REFUNDABLE Deposit (must be cash/check/credit card payment)
• Jan 15              $165.00 (fundraising funds can be used)
• Feb 15              $165.00 (fundraising funds can be used)

Estimated Total:           $430.00  this is based on a Quint Room (5 people)

* This has changed because Mrs. Lawson and I received the contract on Tuesday and the Travel Agent forgot to mention that the first deposit was due on the 21^st to cover the cost of the 1776 theater tickets.  This must be paid by the 21^st! We need it to ensure that everyone will have a spot to watch the play.
