[Dhsbb-jazz] Important Canada Information

[JazzyHorns at aol.com]

Hi All,
Our Canada trip is just a few months away and many are working hard behind  
the scenes to put it all together.
 
Trip dates are:  Thursday May 19th to Tuesday May 24th,  2011.  
 
Now is the time to be sure that you have the correct paperwork in process  
(at least) or done (hopefully) and sent to Kathryn Shickman for her  files. 
Email Kathryn if you have any questions,  _kshickman at sbcglobal.net_ 
(mailto:kshickman at sbcglobal.net) .  You can  check our band booster web site to 
determine just what documentation is  needed.  Additionally, if your child will 
be traveling with a passport  other than from the US, please check to see if 
they will also need a student  visa, and be sure to get any additional 
documents needed together.  I've  included a link below which may help, but the 
link is also listed on our web  site.

The kids signed up for  flight groups in class last week, and our tickets 
have now been  processed. The good news is that no one is walking to Seattle! 
  We got a very good price on our tickets - the current price is already 
$60  higher than the price we paid when I originally booked these seats back 
in  September.  The interesting news is that due to our large group size,  
and the shuffling of all of our original flights when Alaska changed their  
schedules, we are traveling in 3 different groups for our trip.  We will  post 
flight group lists later, but hopefully your child can remember if they  
signed up in group 1, 2, or 3.  Below are the details and current flight  
numbers for the 3 different groups.  Since this is only February, there is  a 
distinct chance Alaska/Horizon Air may shuffle flight schedules again, and the 
 info listed here could change before May. Current info for our 3  groups 
is listed below.
 
Specific trip check in procedures  are still being developed, so student 
trip check in times may change, but  a general time frame for meeting at the 
HS on departure day is listed by each  group.  The kids will gather at the 
high school then travel by assigned  carpools to Sac Airport for drop off and 
check in for their flights.  
 
Note that dress blacks and  instruments will be checked in on Wed. May 18th 
so they  can be loaded on  the truck  leaving before us, that will be 
driving from DHS to Victoria  .  
 
Remember to check our web  page and join the new Face Book page for current 
band trip information  at any time.
