Though it may seem that the trip to Carnegie Hall is a long way off, it is in fact coming upon us faster than we think.
And that means we have to get the rest of the money together. You can pay using PayPal and our online reservation form, or write a check payable to WKBB and place it in an envelope marked “Carnegie” in the silver box outside of Mr. Barfield’s office.
Students (traveling on the Package):
We have determined that the total per student cost for the trip is $1225. Most everyone has paid the initial deposit of $225, leaving the balance at $1000. We will also be collecting $110 per student to hold and distribute for meals that are not included in the trip package.
These payments are due as follows:
- January 9th: $500
- February 26th: $500, or whatever balance remains after fund-raisers have been applied
- March 21st: $110 for meals, distributed to students as needed
You will also want to plan to send some additional money with your student to pay for souvenirs and incidentals. A little cash mixed with a prepaid VISA card is a good idea.
These deposits must be paid on time so we do not lose our reserved spots. Officers will be available at the school on Thursday Jan. 8th from 6-8 pm to accept payments. Otherwise you can put the payments in the silver box outside Mr. Barfield’s office in an envelope marked “Carnegie”.
If you have funds currently available in your student account, these can be applied to the next deposit. Please contact Bonnie Jett at wkbbtreasurer@gmail.com to let her know you wish to use the funds from your student account. Otherwise the treasurer will be expecting a payment.
There is still time to fully participate in fund-raising activities for TNT Fireworks participation, Centerplate concessions, spring fruit sales, and sponsorships to help defray your student’s trip expenses. Sponsorships are the fastest and most lucrative way to raise funds for your student’s trip. Contact employers, church members, extended family, and friends to ask for a sponsorship. Even the lowest levels can add up quickly.
Beyond these, you will need to plan to send some additional money with your student to pay for souvenirs and incidentals. A little cash mixed with a prepaid VISA card is a good idea.
The itinerary will be finalized soon and we will post it as soon as it is available.
Chaperones/Family Traveling on the Package:
Information was distributed after the last booster meeting regarding costs and room assignments.
Your deposits are due at the same time as your student’s, though the amount may differ if you elect other than a quad-occupancy room. The second deposit of $500 should be paid at the same time as your student’s.
For Those NOT Traveling on the Package:
To attend the concert, you will require a ticket. We also have a special luncheon setup following the concert which all band members, chaperones, parents, and family may attend.
Concert tickets are $85 per person and the luncheon is $30 per person. Reservations and money for these are due by the end of January.
