I am thinking ahead in regards to a trip to Disneyworld next year. We would go during the winter break from Friday, February 17 through Friday, February 24. The cost would be about $1300. Due to the economy, I am determining if we should move towards an every other year trip plan. Membership in the Marching Band is very expensive, and I want to be sensitive to the needs of the band members and their families. Theprojected annual costs are $615 for band camp, approximately $200 for the Syracuse trip, and roughly$1300 for the spring trip which totals about $ 2115.
By proposing the trip earlier, next month, we would be able to plan more carefully and recruit more band members earlier. In addition, if we do not get enough interest, we could skip a year and do a trip on the odd numbered years, 2013, 2015, etc.
Please send me an e-mail if your son or daughter would attend a Disney trip next February if it were to happen. This is not a firm commitment, and all information will be confidential. I am only using it to determine if a trip is viable for the 2012 year.
I will be accepting these e-mails up until March 1st and will then make a determination if a February 2012 trip is possible.
Also, if you know of any incoming 8th graders or people who will be joining the band, they may e-mail me as well so get the word out!
