The Ross High School Marching Band is going to Disney World!
/
The Ross High School Marching Band and has been accepted to perform at Walt Disney World in 2013! This is an honor for the Ross Band as Disney has a very stringent selection policy for groups who wish to perform at the parks. The Ross School District has given approval for the band to take the trip. This trip is optional and self funded. The trip is during next year's Spring Break, so students will not miss school.
We will leave Ross on March 23, 2013 and return home March 29, 2013. All high school band students, their parents, and younger siblings are eligible to come on this trip. If a parent wishes to join us, they will come along as a chaperone. We will be taking Lakefront Motor Coaches for the trip.
Cost is based on the trip price plus transportation. Admission to the Disney parks, Medieval Times Dinner Theater, several meals, hotel fees, and transportation are all included. We will be stopping at Cocoa Beach on the way to Orlando. The trip fluctuates in cost based on how many people we have on the trip. The lowest the trip will cost per student is $650.00, and the most would be $710.00. All band members will stay 4 per room. Parents can team up with other parents in rooms to help lower price. The fewer people per room the more expesive.
To guarantee your spot on the trip, Mr. Roemer needs a $50 deposit (non refundable) per person by the end of May. After all of the deposits are collected, and a count of everyone going is taken, a firm price for the trip will be set. Be sure to check your email for further information, or contact Mr. Roemer with questions.
