Trip Announcement for Thanksgiving 2024 – New York City/Washington D.C.

Thank you to all of the folks that showed up for our big trip announcement last night.  It was awesome to see the excitement in the students faces as we had the big reveal.  I personally think we are visiting two of the most amazing cities and can’t wait to experience it with our students.

Attached below are all of the documents from last night with an explanation of each.

Document 1:
This is the form you will use to register for the trip with Group Travel Network, the official student travel partner of the Lowndes High Georgia Bridgemen.  At the bottom, left hand corner of the flyer is a link to the registration page.  PLEASE NOTE:  As of right now registration is only open to students, not adults.  That will change once the plan is given out to our adults at a later date.  All students registering must sign up for a Quad Room only (four students per room).
I would also encourage you to read very carefully about the trip insurance that is available for purchase.  There will be two options.  Make sure you read them carefully and select what is best for you.

This is the information with the payment schedule for the trip.  It is imperative that you hold true to this schedule.  If payments are not made by the date listed there is a danger your student will be dropped from the trip.  The last page of this document must be signed and returned to Mr. Bowman or your respective middle school band director by FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17th.

How to get up-to-the-minute band updates

BAND PARENTS:

The easiest way for you to keep up with news and weather changes throughout band camp and the entire season is to download the “BAND” app on your cell phone and join the group “Lowndes High Georgia Bridgemen”. You will provide your name to join (no partial names or nicknames please).
https://bit.ly/3zn7GCa

Once you are in the app, click on the gear in the bottom right corner, then click on “my settings” and choose “receive push notifications”. That action will give you up-to-the-minute information from Mr. Bowman.

During camps and rehearsals, it is very hard for directors to answer emails, as they are busy with the students every single moment. Make it a daily habit to check: the band’s website, Facebook page, or the “BAND” app. The answers to most of your questions will be posted there. If there is a schedule change (due to last minute thunderstorm), it will be posted in the “BAND” app, as soon as the decision is made.

2023 BAND CAMP: July 17-21 and July 24-28
It’s going to be a great marching season!
