Battle of the Border Itinerary – Sat Oct 21
Hello Parents and Band members,
Below, I have attached the itinerary for our trip Saturday October 21st-22nd please be advised that this functions as any other school event under the rules set by Nassau County School District. NO STUDENTS will be able to go ANYWHERE alone, and the buddy system will be in place. The required number of staff and chaperones by the school board will be in place, and actively deployed evenly among the students as well. During the stay at the hotel, boys and girls will be separated by floor and curfew will be 30 minutes after check in. During the entire trip no boys will be allowed to sit with girls on the bus, just like any other band trip. I will be sure to take all precautions to keep our students safe, if you have any concerns please feel free to contact me.
