Grade 7/8 Trip Info!

GRADE 7/8 BAND TRIP!

Dear Martin Area Band Families,

Our Martin Area Grade 7/8 band students have worked hard this year so we are celebrating by taking them on a well-deserved, one-day spring tour to Yorkton. The trip is planned for Tuesday, May 14.  Students will be performing for McLurg School before leaving the city.  After arriving in Yorkton, our students will have the opportunity to work with one of the band directors in the city, Ms. Kelsey Kuz.  We will also be going to the Gallagher Centre for some swim time and eating supper in Yorkton before returning to Regina by 8:30pm.  A complete itinerary of our day’s events will follow shortly.

Cost:  The cost per band student will be $45.00.  Payment for this trip will be set up online as this is the preferred method.  If you must send cash or a cheque, please label with students name and send in a sealed bag/envelope (cheques made payable to your school).  This includes two charter buses to and from Yorkton, our clinic, Gallagher Centre, and snacks for the students.  Everyone will need to bring a bag lunch, and money for supper.     
***All money, consent and waiver form, and medical forms are due no later than Monday, May 6 (full band day).***

Expectations:
Over the next month, students should be preparing their music for the trip.  All students should be ready to perform all of their music for the school concerts.  We trust our students will be fine ambassadors for not only our schools but also the city.  We expect their performances and behavior to be exemplary.  When traveling with a large group it is extremely important that each student take responsibility for being on their best behavior AT ALL TIMES.

Parent Help:  We require parents to assist in chaperoning.  We especially require parents with a medical background or First Aid training. Regina Public School Board policy requires that all parent volunteers complete a criminal records check (recently changed to Police Information Check, and can now be applied for online).  Please let us know as soon as possible if you are free that day and would like to come along!
