Well gang, it has happened so here is the plan for the “Band Thanksgiving Tour 2018”. Please make sure to go over this carefully as you pack and plan.
Money at Check-In: As we discussed in the meeting, we will collect $45 from every student and we will handle the meals all day on Friday. It and be a check or cash. Please make checks payable to LHS Band Boosters.
Packing: Please make sure you pack a towel, a bar of soap in your suitcase. We will have access to the showers at Camp Durant in North Carolina. You will also need a sleeping bag. Please make sure you have your name on it and it will be packed under your bus. We will no longer have to pack all of our clothes in our carry ons on Wednesday. You WILL have access to your luggage on Thursday night. Don’t stress about this. We will go over this with you.
Timeline:
Thursday: We will arrive at Camp Durant around 10:30pm on Thursday. We will get the students situated once we arrive.
Friday: We will depart Camp Durant 8:30am. We will arrive at Grayson High School at 2:00pm and are in contact with them about use of their facilities. We have to be there at 2:00pm so our bus drivers can sleep 8 hours to drive us home by 10:00pm.
WE WILL PROVIDE ALL FOOD ON FRIDAY!!!!
