Band Booster Meeting Minutes - 5.14.12

Minutes from prior meeting were approved.

Band Director Report:

• The Daytona trip is this weekend.  All the students going to Daytona were given an itinerary and a flyer containing information on what is allowed and what is NOT allowed on the trip.  Please read the information and go over it with your student.  The information was discussed in class. 
• Please check your students’ luggage/bags before bringing it to the school.  The bags will be left in the band room in a designated area and will not be allowed to be opened by the student until it is time to have his/her bag checked by a parent/chaperone.  The bag will then go directly to the trailer.
• Please send money for meals (2 Breakfasts – 2 Lunches – 2 Dinners).  There is a restaurant at the hotel.  The students may bring breakfast type food for both mornings and lunch for Saturday.
• Friday we will be having dinner at the Food Court at the Volusia Mall.  Saturday we will be going to the Daytona Beach Boardwalk for dinner, where the students will have a variety of restaurants to choose from.
