December UpdateNovember Joint Meeting Recap:Greetings Carnegie families!
We had an informative meeting last night for our Band and Orchestra families. Here are the presentation slides from last night and below are the forms handed out last night. MBUSD Required Forms due by December 1, 2015 Please return all 3 forms [stapled together with your student’s name clearly indicated] to the Orchestra Room. 1. Student Field Trip Code of Conduct 2. Parent Waiver and Release for the Use of Student Images and Student Work 3. Parent Parent Permission for Student Participation in Off-Campus-Carnegie Hall* Leave page 2 requiring teacher signatures blank. We will hold onto those forms and pass back out to the students to obtain teacher signatures in the month of May, 2016 Optional items: Friends & Family non-air Travel information Travel Insurance forms are listed below – if you are interested in either or both there is contact information on all pages. 1. Travel Insurance 2. Friends and Family non-air Travel Information AIRFARE INCREASE Please note that our airfare per person has increased from $350 to $600, bringing the total performer cost from $1,800 to $2,050. We have done extensive research to try to mitigate the original estimated airfare of $350/pp. We are traveling on a holiday weekend with a direct non-stop flight from LAX to NYC and $600 is the best we are able to do for booking 318 [students/chaperones/staff] people – on multiple flights with multiple airlines all flights departing from LAX the morning of 05-26-15 and all flights arriving late afternoon/early evening of the same day. The $250 increase will be added to the March 2016 installment, and we have been guaranteed by our travel broker that the cost ceiling is $600/pp. Please note the following language that we have been putting out since the original flyer for the Carnegie trip. "NOTE: Airfare is quoted based on current industry standard and will be confirmed 6 months prior to departure. A price adjustment +/- will be made at that time. Items not included in above rate: Transportation and rental of instruments, checked bag fee, 3 lunches. Every effort will be made to fundraise for the transportation and rental of instruments and checked bag fees. If Boosters does not reach its target fundraising goal then those items will be added to the Performer Package." FUNDRAISING with YOU: We need Everyone’s help with Carnegie Fundraising and we thank you ahead of time for your support for our 265 Band and Orchestra students. There are many ways you can help.
