Payments
We need to have all of your fundraiser data turned in (Wednesday the 30th). This includes bringing back any unsold inventory of socks and/or lights. We want to know how many of each was sold. We need the # of different items sold so we can credit your account properly. For the sock sales contact Stacey Wade after turning in your money on how many you sold (Wednesday the 30th) (Stacey Wade- 410-507-0822). For Flashlights contact Mr. Ryszka or Mrs. Vincent.
Due to the bag fundraiser we have credited every account for the trip $50. So the trip cost total is now $600. If you overpaid you can seek to be reimbursed at the office or have it roll into a separate activity like marching band. If you are not a fundraising student this is the week to pay for your trip. You can pay the $600 to the office or on myschoolfees. Just know you will have to input multiple $50 amounts to make the total and there is a processing fee to do it online. If there is a financial difficulty talk to you teacher.
A final list of what people owe, we are shooting for Friday to share.
Code Of Conduct
Students on the trip are considered on a school trip. As such you are expected to maintain Wasatch High School standards for behavior. This includes dress standards, language, and behavior. Drugs and alcohol are not permitted. As we travel every place we go to you are expected to be pleasant to peers, teachers, chaperones, staff, drivers, restaurant employees, hotel employees and guests. Really any one you come in contact with.
At the hotel it is always “quiet hours”, meaning you are not crazy, running, slamming doors in the hallway. Rules also include hanging out only in approved places. Common spaces like the lobby or pool are ok to hang out, play games, or socialize. Your roommates and yourself is the only people allowed in your room. Rooms are not social locations for anyone but your roommates. Curfew hours will be observed strictly. You must be in your room at those times.
In the park, beach, or any place we go we need everyone in at least groups of three (the rule of three). You will have text or physical check in times with your Chaperons. You need to respond quickly so we don’t worry and need to call the Mickey police to find you. Small groups are safest and if something goes wrong you can help each other out and contact your chaperones.
You need to be with the group at all times. For example if we are at the parks you need to be in the parks and if we are at the beach you need to be at the beach. Wondering out of the park or other areas we designate can be dangerous.
PDA-Public Displays of Affection are not allowed (this includes holding hands). We want to make sure everyone feels comfortable around you. This is called professionalism. Students will be separated on the bus when it is dark.
Failure to comply with these guideline can result in being removed from the trip at your expense and without refund.
Appropriate Concert Attire for Disney
Please read the following concert attire guidelines. Disney has extremely strict policies that we will be following. If you do not have the appropriate concert attire you will not be going on the trip. Do what you need to now so that you have everything ready to go before the trip. There will be a pre-tour concert attire check off for symphonic band and percussion II for festival Wednesday and on Friday for all other participants during the clinic with Diane Solberg. For orchestra this should have been done already during your festival. We will let you know more details about this and we will also take the opportunity to take some nice pre-tour pictures. We have had a few violations on clothing by students at concerts this year and pictures that where sent to Disney came back labeled “unacceptable”. We are going to hold to this policy for the remainder of the year. If you have a financial difficulty in securing clothing please let Mr. Ryszka and Mrs. Vincent know. We recommend gathering from thrift stores or more affordable stores like Ross and TJ-Max. We also have some unused concert attire here at the high school that we can sell. Jackets are $50, Shirts and pants are $25 each, bow ties $3, Cummerbund $3, and $70 for dresses. Here is a google spreadsheet of what sizes we have available . Email Mr Ryszka if you want to reserve any of the items. It will be first come first serve. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1324yPyOmBJuw4y086KLS-VTesdOTPFop-FhLQ2F-JOE/edit#gid=0
Failure to comply with the dress code may result in removal from the tour.
