2.  MONDAY, MARCH 25, 6:00-7:30pm.  We will have our last BAND rehearsal starting at 6:00pm.  Immediately following the rehearsal all BAND students will help load their instrument and equipment on the trailer.  The trailer will be leaving the next morning to head to Disney.  All parents are welcome to sit and listen in the auditorium if they wish.  This will be our final rehearsal before their performance in Disney.  Students should be finished loading by 7:30pm.  Chorus members do not need to attend.
 
3.  WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 5:00-7:00pm.  All suitcases will be checked in between 5-7:00pm at door#24.  Suitcases will be checked to make sure students have everything they need and will be placed in the band room by bus.
 
4.  You will receive a luggage tag to be placed on your suitcase and instrument.  You should bring your Carry-On with you to school on Thursday morning.   Do not bring your carry-on bag with you to the luggage check in.  You will be able to place your carry-on bag with your suitcase for the day on Thursday.
 
5.  WORK CREWS – There are assigned work crews for each bus.  Work crew students will help with luggage check-in and help organize suitcases.  The work crews for each bus will load all suitcases and instruments on THURSDAY morning.  They will also unload at the hotel.  The same goes for loading/unloading on TUESDAY.  Work Crews will also help in unloading the trailer at our performance sites.
 
6.  Students should purchase food ($ not included) at the airport after going through security on Thursday.  All breakfasts and dinners are included.  Each person should decide how much money you will want to spend on such items as snacks, souvenirs, etc.  Refer to the itinerary to see where you might want to spend money in this way.  All students will receive their own pizza and water upon arrival at the hotel Thursday night.
 
7.  Remember that students will be on their own to purchase lunches each day.  Plan on $15 per lunch.  All breakfasts and dinners are provided.  Students will be responsible for meals on the following days:
                1. Thursday night at the airport.
                2.  Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday – lunches in each park
*For all other meals, each student will receive an envelope containing $15 cash for students to use.
 
8.  Each student will receive an itinerary for each day.  Students should have a copy of the itinerary with them at all times throughout the trip so that you know what is going on and times you need to report.  Please remember that there are a lot of us traveling together and it is important that we are not kept waiting for anyone!
 
9.  All students will be receiving a “Trip Shirt” that will be handed out at Luggage Check-in.  We ask the that students wear these at school on Thursday, to be worn at the airport that day. 
 
10.  All students & chaperones will be staying at the All-Star Disney Movies Resort.  Boys rooms will be on one floor and girls rooms will be on another floor.
