Trip Update (November)
-Please keep current on your Orlando trip payment plans. A minimum of $550 should have been paid for each Student so far and the next $200 payment is due December 14.
- We currently have too many chaperones signed up for the trip in relation to students and we are looking for a few parent chaperones to change to “tag-alongs” if you still want to go with us. Right now, we are looking for volunteers to step down from chaperones to tag alongs. We haven’t had this “problem” before, so we will start by asking for volunteers first.
-The tag along price is approximately $350 and that also means you will have to find your own transportation and hotel reservations.. Thanks for understanding and helping us out. We are so fortunate to have such a supportive band family!!
(Any amount that you have paid over the tag along price will be credited to your student's trip)
-CHAPERONES: Please let Karen ( info@dmsbands.org ) know if you want a single or double room so the correct reservations are made. A minimum of $375 should have been paid on your account at this point. The next $225/275 payment is due Dec 14.
-Tag- Alongs: Please let Karen ( info@dmsbands.org ) know if you are going as a Tag-Along. I need an accurate count for the Travel Agent to get accurate pricing.
Tag along pricing will include: All Park Admissions, Blue Man Group and Trip T-shirts. All Day Dining at SeaWorld will be the only meal included.
Tag Alongs will not be in charge of any students and will have to follow the group chaperone.
-If you are not up to date on your Trip payments or have a signed Payment Plan Agreement for the Trip. you are not included in the reservation count. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to participate in the TRIP. Please contact us immediately to work on a payment plan.
