Dear Parent/Guardian,

As most of you know, the Henry Hudson Regional Middle School and High School band will be traveling to Walt Disney World to compete in Festival Disney, one of the world’s largest concert band competitions. In addition, all band students attending will be a part of the marching band.

• 
  Trip Dates: April 26 – April 30, 2017
  

• 
  Trip Costs:
  

• 
  The anticipated cost per band member will be $800-$1,000. In order to defer the cost per band member, fundraising efforts have been ongoing and will continue.
  
• 
  We have been collecting $50 per month, per student attending the trip since last January and will continue through December 2016. By December 2016, these students will have paid $500 toward the trip.
  
• 
  7^th Grade and New Band members: Since you were not here last year when we started the monthly collections, we need you to start making payments so you will have $500 paid toward the trip by December 2016. Please contact Tracey Cavanagh to set up a payment plan. tcavanagh@hhrs.us

  Parents and siblings are welcome to come on the band trip. However, all parents and siblings will need to pay the full price of the trip. Fundraising efforts are only used to offset the cost of the trip for band members.
