25. BAND TRIP FOR 2012-2013 Yes, we are planning to travel this year. As you know, we had planned to attend the Greater St Louis Marching Festival in October. This 44 year old contest was abruptly cancelled due to a conflict at the Edward Jones Dome. Since the cancellation, we have considered several options. We are not prepared at this time to announce our destination but we are looking at a mid-size trip in the range of $500-$600.00 per student. While final details are being worked out, we are moving forward with a payment schedule for students, which is listed below. TRIP DEPOSITS FOR 2012-2013 Monday, November 4 th - $300.00 in each students trip account Monday, January 14 th - $600.00 total in each students trip account STUDENT EXPECTATIONS ON TRAVELING WITH THE BAND We expect everyone to travel with us when we attend a special performance. However, last year we lost several thousand dollars on unpaid students. We also had several who made partial payments when deposits were due asking us to cover the rest until they could get more money. We tried to help them but we ended up losing money. We can no longer do this. From now on, students will be expected to make trip deposits on time or we will have to remove them from the list. We have MANY fundraisers which are designed to help students make money for their trip accounts. Here are ways you can raise money for your students trip account:
