important for all students traveling on the trip and their parents to
review this document!
Here are some final trip reminders....
MANDATORY PARENT MEETING: Thursday at
7PM in the Band Hall. One parent for each child traveling MUST
attend.
* If you were unable to find one, a notary will be present to notarize
medical forms.
* Trip itinerary and rules will be discussed
* All luggage that is to be packed under the bus must be brought to this
meeting. It will be sorted by bus in preparation for loading Friday
morning. (See What to Pack below)
MEDICINES ON THE TRIP
If your child takes medicine on a regular basis that he or she will
need to take while traveling with us, you must speak with Dagny Rosas at
the meeting and log in the medicine AND the form. Even if you want your
child to have the option of taking an Advil for a headache, you MUST
bring it to the meeting and log it in with Dagny.
WHAT TO WEAR/WHAT TO PACK
Please check the
itinerary carefully so you know what your child needs to wear on the
bus and what needs to be packed for the rest of the trip. Here's a
brief recap:
* Friday on the bus: Wear a white t-shirt, lightweight shorts, black
socks, and dress shoes. Bring hanging bag for uniform checkout. Boys
need to have their tux shirt, cummerbund, bow tie, studs, and cufflinks.
They are going straight from the bus to the performance, so they need to
have everything they need to look their best on stage in their hanging
bag. Remind them to bring their instrument...
* What to pack:
Friday for Banquet and Dance: Nice clothes - like what you
would wear to church. No denim or shorts.
Saturday for Fiesta Texas: Any blue Taylor Band or Taylor High
School shirt, comfortable shorts and shoes.
Sunday for Schlitterbahn: Clothing appropriate for swimming and
walking around a water park. Ladies may wear conservative one piece or
two-piece swim suits. Do not pack anything that may be questionable. If
your child wants to wear a shirt with or over his/her bathing suit, it
MUST be a blue JET Band t-shirt or a blue Taylor High School t-shirt.
Dry clothes to change into for the ride home.
General: Cellphone and charger, toiletries, snacks, sunscreen,
camera, iPods, etc., and money for lunch at Fiesta Texas and souvenirs.
