Other Notes
Spring Trip. The Spring Trip is planned for May 1-3. This year the band will be traveling to New York, New York. The purpose of the trip is to perform and participate in an informal workshop with highly skilled clinicians at a leading national university. The trip includes bus transportation, two nights lodging, clinicians' honoraria, two breakfasts, one lunch, three dinners, a ticket to a major Broadway performance, and admission to New York attractions. Students will need to bring money for one breakfast, two lunches, and leisurely shopping. The cost is $600 and will be divided into 5 payments of $120.00. Payment #3 is due on January 10. The remaining payment schedule follows: Payment 4 is due by February 7; and Payment 5 is due by March 7.
Checks should be made payable to Hayfield Secondary School. Payment 5 may be adjusted using any credit in a student's fundraising account (from Tag Day participation or fruit sales). There are also chaperone opportunities for the trip. Chaperone costs are the same as the student cost; payments are due on the same schedule.
