Details for the Music Department trip to Orlando
Due to the weather and consequent student absences from school, we have not been able to have our pre-trip meeting.
Hopefully the information below will answer many questions and help us have a smooth departure and successful trip.
Thanks to everyone for your patience!
Itinerary The original itinerary that went home with students two weeks ago has not changed.
However, we will have additional hard copies available Friday prior to departure. Please email our President, Rex Bader
at rbader@vbh.org if you havent' received a copy and would like an electronic one to review. PLEASE DO NOT POST THIS DOCUMENT ANYWHERE
ONLINE! This information is only for trip participants and families and we do not want everyone to have access to our
plans. Paperwork -Medical Forms: We have most of these already,
but copies and a notary will be available at school prior to departure. -Rules and Procedures: Copies will be available
to sign prior to departure. -Bus Sign-Ups: Will be posted on the doors of room 604 on Thursday. Any student
who does not sign up prior to departure will be assigned a bus. -Phone List: A master list of contact
information will be created prior to departure. All participants are encouraged to use their phone sparingly as
opportunities to recharge will be infrequent. Medicine Any
medicines should be in their original container, then placed in a zip lock bag marked with the students' first and last
name. Students are not to carry medicines of any kind while on the trip (per HCPS rules and guidelines).
The only exceptions to this rule are Epipens and inhalers. Please include a note in their zip lock bag stating that
the student is carrying these. This information should also be on the medical form.

Equipment -All students should have their instrument plus whatever reeds,
sticks, rosin, oils, etc. it takes for a great performance. Flag equipment should be packed together
for transit. -All students should have every part of their concert outfit.
Disney will not let any student perform that isn't completely prepared. (This includes appropriate socks and shoes.) What
to pack? -Small suitcase. Students wont' have access to this until
Saturday night at the hotel, so bring anything you need to be comfortable in your carry-on. Remember, we will be going straight
to the parks upon arrival in Orlando. The forecast for this weekend is showing highs in the low 70's with lows in
the higher 40's to mid 50's. Keep this in mind while packing and remember to dress appropriately to represent
Glen Allen High School. -Your carry-on bag stays with you on the bus. -Electronics
are allowed, but be careful that you secure them as you travel. -Snacks and water are encouraged
and all travelers are responsible for one meal a day. We will be making rest stop breaks
only for the trip down. Please plan to eat before we leave school and bring appropriate snacks for the trip.
