Good morning,
I hope that this e-mail finds you in good health and enjoying
the change of season. There's a chill in the air as Spirit Week
continues to lead us toward the BIG GAME!
The last month has been a complete whirlwind with football
games, Fall Break and marching band contests. With so much
activity I have not been able to completely communicate with you
about the Band's trip to the Bahamas. Due to a variety of
issues, including individual household economics, we did not
receive enough student deposits in order to make our trip a
reality. As I told the parents in attendance at the monthly
booster club meeting, the trip to the Bahamas is officially
cancelled. I can return your check to you via your student if
you will send them to my office to ask for it. We do have
another option.
The marching band kids give so much time and effort in
representing their school and community. I like to try to reward
them with a special trip at least every 2 years.
I have found an alternative trip that is significantly less
expensive. The new trip will be to Orlando, Florida at the end
of March. The cost for this trip will range between $460 & $550
dollars all depending on the number of travelers. This trip will
include a performance with Music Festival USA, 2 days admission
to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks. In
addition, we will also have a dining experience at Sleuth dinner
theater. This will be a dinner at which the audience gets to
participate in a who dun it murder mystery. It should be a
great deal of fun.
If you are interested in having your marching band student
participate in this trip, please send a $100 check made payable
to WRHS with your student's name in the memo line to the band
room by no later than Monday November 10th. Tuesday
November 11th is a holiday and it will be past the
deadline. If you made a deposit on the Bahamas trip and do not
have your student pick up the check from the band room we will
carry over the deposit into the Orlando trip. Please send a
brief note or an e-mail verifying that this is your desire.
If your Bahamas deposit is not requested as a refund by Monday
November 10th we will apply that initial payment to
the Orlando trip. The checks will be deposited after this date
and I will no longer be able to refund the initial deposit.
I will be forwarding specific details about our trip once I
receive particular confirmation from our travel company. We will
e-mail this information which will contain the payment schedule
as well as our itinerary. Additionally, this information will be
posted to the web-site.
Thanks again for your incredible support of these amazing young
people!
Take care & God Bless,
Mr. H.
