DON’T MISS OUT ON THE FUN – REGISTER FOR THE DISNEY TRIP TODAY!!!
First deposits to guarantee a seat on the Disney trip were due June 1st. For those missing the deadline, rest assured…it isn’t too late to join the trip!!! We will continue accepting registrations/deposits as long as there is space available; but, please note that space is limited. Detailed information, required documentation, and forms for the trip are available on the RPHS Band & Guard Disney Trip website at http://rphsbanddisney.weebly.com/.
SPECIAL REQUESTS – We have received several “special requests” related to student trip participation – use of frequent flyer miles, student’s staying in room with parents, Disney annual passes, etc. Please understand that we are coordinating travel for 100+ people and it is impossible for us to manage the logistics of that in addition to special requests for individual students. Because this is a group trip and FBISD and RPBB are ultimately responsible for the safety and overall well-being of each student on the trip, we are not able to honor special requests for student participation as they relate to air/ground travel or hotel rooms; as noted in the FAQ section of the trip materials/website, if allowed by Disney, we will honor requests to use Disney/Universal annual passes. Further, any students travelling and/or rooming with their family will not be allowed to march in the parade at Disney. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with this decision. For further questions/concerns, please contact Christy Carroll ([email protected]).
CHAPERONES – Many thanks to those who have volunteered to chaperone! If you have already email Dr. Barnes, at this time, we would like to ask that you also send an email to Christy ([email protected]) to ensure that we haven’t missed anyone. (Sorry for this duplication of efforts!) Likewise, if you have not yet expressed an interest to chaperone, but would like to be added to the list, please send an email to both Dr. Barnes ([email protected]) and Christy Carroll. It is our goal to confirm chaperones shortly before band camp begins. Again, thank you for your patience as we work through this process for the first time!
FAMILY PARTICIPATION - The DEADLINE to submit a PARTICIPATION CONTRACT, TRIP REGISTRATION and first deposit for
families wishing to join in on the fun is JUNE 15th. Please mail all info and deposits to RPBB using the address noted in the registration materials. After June 15th, family registrations will be accepted on a space available basis.
