As Sharon indicated at the meeting, please make sure these items are delivered to her or to the show by Friday or early Saturday morning.

Please remember to wear a Jay Band shirt to get into the home show for free to work in the booth. Please be sure to arrive a few minutes early and park at the Knights of Columbus or Midland Oil and catch a shuttle to the Y. Thank you to everyone who has or is donating taco soup, brownies, cookies, time, labor, etc. to the event. We appreciate your time and help!

Chicago Heritage Trip ~ March 2012

January 21, 2012 / Jay Band Boosters / No comments

Thank you for the great attendance at last night’s meeting. This e-mail should summarize what was covered by Mrs. Ridgeway and Mr. Dodson.

Attached, please find two documents.

The first will provide you a detailed cost of the trip. The student cost is $332.00 and the chaperon cost is $451.00.

The second attachment is the itinerary. Please note that the pretrip rehearsal schedule on Wednesday, March 14th will probably be adjusted so that students can spend more time with their families before leaving for the Chicago. There might be some other minor adjustments to the itinerary based on the contest performance. The schedule reflects the students competing on Saturday. This could possibly be moved to Friday evening. A final itinerary will be available in mid-February. Please take special note of the items highlighted in yellow. These are meals that the district has committed to provide at no additional cost to the students.

At the meeting, envelopes were given to each family reflecting the amount of money credited to their student’s account for the trip. If you were not at the meeting, these envelopes will be distributed during band class today. Please review the amount. If you have any questions about the amount, please contact Mr. Eubanks. IMPORTANT: Sign the form, indicate if your student will be going on the Chicago trip and return to Mr. Eubanks as soon as possible.

The final trip payment is due by February 1st, 2012. Please send a check for the balance your student owes by this date to Mr. Eubanks.

It was apparent at tonight’s meeting that the Jefferson City High School administration is committed to our students and the Jay Band program. Their desire is that this trip be one of the best experiences for the students, without causing a financial hardship on the families.

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know!
