Here are the updates concerning the Band Trip to Orlando:
1) We will be taking a chartered flight on Miami Air, and will depart on Thursday, March 8th (most likely in the morning/early afternoon). Since we are chartering the flight, we will be able to bypass security and load directly from the tarmac at the Austin and Orlando airports. We will also be able to decide the departure time for both legs of the flights. There are 172 seats on the charter flight, and 182 people signed up for the trip, so 10 people will still travel on the previously announced Jet Blue flights. These 10 people will be decided based upon the last 10 students/parents to complete all of their trip payments.
2) The additional cost for the charter flight is $55.00, so the new total cost of the trip is $1120.00 per student ($915.00 for chaperones). There will be an additional $55.00 payment due on Monday, February 6th to pay for the chartered flight. The chartered flight will give us an extra day at the Disney Parks, as we will now have all of Monday to spend at one of the theme parks, rather than flying back at noon on Jet Blue.
3) Mr Atkinson will send a more detailed itinerary as we get closer to the trip. He is still decided which days we will be at which parks. The one certainty is that we will be at the Magic Kingdom and march in the Magic Kingdom Parade on Saturday, March 10th.
4) The next $70.00 payment is due this Friday, October 14th for all students and chaperones. If you already have 10 or more trip fundraising points, DO NOT MAKE THIS PAYMENT! We will finalize all trip points at the end of this month and then we will let you know if you owe any more for your trip. The fundraising amount may or may not be enough to cover the rest of your payments, so rather than write a lot of reimburse checks, we request that you not make any more payments until you have been contacted about the final total on fundraising points.
