Spring Trip

Hello all – For those who do not know me, my name is Denise Thompson. I am responsible for coordinating this year’s Katy H.S. Band spring trip. The attached Letter of Commitment includes detailed information about the trip. I hope you will find the following information helpful; however, you are welcome to email/call me if you need additional information.

This year’s spring trip is the “big” trip that takes place every 4th year. This year the band will be going to Orlando, Florida.

There are 172 spots open on a first come, first served basis (open to all Katy H.S. Band and Orchestra students.)

All Students planning to go on the trip must turn in a Letter of Commitment AND timely payments to secure/hold your student’s spot.

The approximate cost of the trip will be $1000.

Trip payments will be divided into installments as outlined in the attached letter.

The first payment of $200 (and Letter of Commitment) are due at the August 11, 2009 KHS Band Booster meeting. (Please keep in mind there will additional band fees due at the first meeting as well.)

You are welcome (and encouraged) to turn in the Letter of Commitment and make your first payment early (this summer).

Thank you for your time. It’s going to be a great year for the Katy H.S. Band!
