Rock Island Music Association

The Disney trip is only 23 days away!!

Here is the final itinerary for the trip.

There have been a couple of changes since the last informational email.

1. The parent meeting will be on February 28th from 6 – 7 p.m. in the RIHS band room.  Parents need to attend this meeting.  All expectations of students and chaperones will be discussed at the meeting and it will give parents a chance to ask questions they may have about the Disney trip.

2. We will not be staying at All-Star Movies resort.  We will be staying at the All-Star Music Resort!   Feel free to look up the resort and find out all it has to offer.

3.  The band will be performing on the Waterslide Stage in Downtown Disney at 11 a.m. on March 14th.  If you happen to be in Orlando at that time,  come hear us perform!

Before you know it March 11th will be here and we will be on our way!

Don’t forget if you have any questions before the meeting on February 28th, please feel free to email me!

Thanks!
