<DIV>Hi Jazz Band Families,</DIV>
<DIV>The band sounded great yesterday! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We managed to get the green trip info letters to most parents at the event
yesterday. About 4 or 5 students took them home - if you did
not attend the gig yesterday, please ask your student for the letter
that they brought home for you. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT size=4>It is VERY IMPORTANT that you read the letter
carefully and turn pages 2 and 3 back in to us no later than FRIDAY OCT
23rd.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know this is a big decision and timing is short, but we were able to get
a fantastic deal on the airline ($100 less than when the jazz band went on this
trip 4 years ago!) and we must secure the seats with a deposit in just 9 more
days. While we do hope to take this trip, we will not travel if we do not
have a viable band or adequate funding, and we can only determine this if we
have those forms returned with all information filled in. <BR><BR>Also, I
have reserved airline seats to accommodate students and chaperones at this
point. If there are a great many additional parents who wish to come along
I will try to secure more seats, although the price may be a bit higher since
the seats go up in price all the time, especially as the airplane fills.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So please look for those green forms - read them - call me or email with
any questions - and return them to the band room by this FRIDAY or drop them in
the mail by Tues or Wed to be sure they are in our PO Box by Friday.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
