DISNEY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Dear Travelers,
It is time to do a little more work on our trip.  Please read through this page carefully so I have all the information I need to help make this trip the best it can be.
Rooming Cards:  
Students:  you should put the names of the 4 people you would like in your room on your card it is very helpful if you can put the names in alphabetical order.  Your request will be granted IF all names on your card are also on the cards of the other people you want to room with.
If you do not have 4 people on your card, I will need to add other people to your room, or I may need to separate your room to put you into another incomplete room.
Family Fans:  Unless you have requested a single, you will have 2 people in your room.  If you do not know who to choose, you can check with Jennifer for names of other people looking for a roommate.
Families traveling together will be put in the same room.

Dining Events:  
Because our group is so large we need be in two venues for our events.  We will see the Hoop De Doo dinner show on Sunday.  Half of our group will go to the 4:00 show and the other half will go to the 8:30 show.
Our second event is a dessert party on Wednesday at EPCOT beginning at 8:30.  Both groups will be at the same time.  We will watch Illuminations from our venue.
New Event:  We were able to add a new event.  This will be a breakfast on Monday morning at Studios.  After breakfast we will be taken to The Rock and Roller Coaster or Tower of Terror to ride before the park opens.  Because we have extra people riding each bus I am able to offer this event to bus riders at no charge.  If you do not have a transportation package you can add this event for $15.00.  You must put a check mark on the back of your trip card to be registered for the event.  Please note that the cost written on the front of your card does not include this event and the total will be adjusted if you sign up for the breakfast.   If do not choose this event you will receive a $10.00 refund in cash while in Florida.

Make sure you have done all of the following:
  1. All travelers should return a card.
  2. Be sure the roommates you have written on your card have the exact same names on their card.
  3. Check your trip details and total
  4. Check your t-shirt size
  5. If you want to add the breakfast be sure to check the box on the back of the card.



OTHER INFORMATION:

Meetings:  

We will have 2 meeting before the trip.  One will be in late January/early February so travelers can set up a “My Disney Experience” account and make Fast Pass Reservations.  The second meeting will be mandatory and will be the day before we leave.  At this meeting you students will drop off their luggage, chaperones and bus captains will pick up packets for the first day of the trip, and everyone will pick up their t-shirts.

Dining Reservations:

Family Fans, if you are interested in eating at a full service restaurant while in Disney, you may want to go on line and make your reservations now.  They tend to fill up quickly.  You can do this by calling 407-WDisney or going to the waltdisneyworld.com

Band Camp Cabin Assignments



Students will choose their cabin Tuesday, July 19th for their week at band camp. Students should wait outside (literally out of the building - outside) Mrs. Hartson's room #312 at their assigned time.

Seniors and juniors will begin sign up at 8:30. Sophomores and Freshmen will sign up after practice at 12:10.  Please be aware that some students may need to let their section leaders know that they will be a few minutes late for sectionals after the regular practice due to cabin sign up.

There are two options for students that will be absent July 19th. If a student is not able to attend sign up, a student may have another sign the absent student up. However, the absent student must be signed up during the absent student's time frame. For example, if I am a sophomore and going to miss sign ups and my friend is a junior, my friend that's the junior will sign me up during the sophomore time frame.The second option for cabin sign up is during luggage drop off on July 24th. 

Most often there are no changes, but occasionally there may be a minor tweak to cabin assignments. If so, you will be notified if a change is made.


Thanks, Mrs. Haynes!

New Booster officers

So… this is my last official post as your Band Booster Secretary.

I’m going into my 8th year with this organization and I'd like to tell you…that it has been my privilege to be a booster officer, even if it was only for the last 2 years.  You have some of the most wonderful, respectful and fun kids around.  I am always proud to say “It’s OK I’m with the band” because they represent this organization so well.  It’s great to connect with so many enthusiatic band parents. Your eagerness to lend a hand makes the boosters work lighter and your appreciation for what we do at events, keeps us motivated to do more!

I’m not going too far though. I still have a student in the program (Noehl) and she is thrilled to be going into her senior year, she loves & lives drumline. You will still see me at all the events, I just won’t be organizing them but I will be supporting them in a big way (come join me)!

So here is the plan...if you haven’t heard yet.  Tomorrow the new Booster Officers step into their new roles officially.

Our new Booster Officers are:
Christine Carwyn - President     phnbandpresident@gmail.com, 810-357-5121
Bernadette Sheffer - Vice President     phnbandvp@gmail.com, 810-434-3237
Jennifer Fraley - Treasurer     phnbandtreasurer@gmail.com, 810-310-1417
Ginger Knott - Secretary     phnbandboosters@gmail.com, 810-650-7251

All members of the new boards have played a key role in supporting our bands for quite a long time. They will serve our kids and Mr. Senkmajer magnificently!  Feel free to use the above contact info at your convenience.  Most of the emails come from Charms and reach back to the phnbandboosters@gmail.com. You can always hit reply and know that you will reach Ginger who is stepping into my role as Booster Secretary.

My experience with PHN Bands has done great things for our family and especially my daughters, McKale (2013) and Noehl (2017).

With appreciation,
Ronda Bingham
