Students must park in the PE center lot on Thursday and Friday, as there will be no access to the high school through any other doors due to roof and locker room construction.
For Thursday's practice - none of this is new information, just make sure you come prepared.
- Bring packed luggage - this will be thoroughly searched by chaperons, if you think you might get in trouble for it, don't bring it. This is common sense.
- Bring all pieces of uniform in a labeled garment bag. Put your 2 pairs of black socks in here, and your 2 outfits to wear under the uniform during parades. You'll put your shoes in when we are done marching.
- You will receive your trip shirt on Thursday night. You can add it to your suitcase. You will be wearing it on June 1, the day of the clinic, so plan accordingly.
- For the rehearsal you need to wear jeans and a hoodie. We haven't had much hot weather to practice in, and I don't want anybody passing out during the parades in Florida, so this is your last chance to prepare for what it might feel like while we march in the parks.
- If you don't have a blue trip bag, you can pick one up on Thursday night, use this for your beach bag.
- You'll also all receive a trip bible, which you need to have with you every time you get on the bus.
- Remember, everything you need for the beach needs to be with you on the bus, there will be no access to what you have stored under the bus until we are at the hotel, which is after the beach. You'll be swimming in your clothes if you don't have your suit in your carry on bag.
- Friday morning arrive at school at 6:30 am. Carry on bags will be inspected before we leave. You may bring sealed drinks and snacks and you can eat on the bus. The trip bible will tell have lists of specific equipment and bus loading assignments and instructions for all of you. We will be efficient with loading and departure if everyone follows directions and helps. Bring movies for the bus!
- Make sure you have extra reeds, valve oil, and your concert instrument if it's different than your marching one.
- If you haven't figured out your fast pass reservations, print the list that was emailed a few weeks ago with everyone's ticket number on it so that you can add your group to your fast pass requests. You can do this on the bus as long as you have the ticket number. The trip bible will give you a list of suggested rides at each park, see Mrs. Haas if you have questions about how to reserve the fast passes.
- Alright! See you Thursday, time to start packing!
