OVERVIEW:
The orchestra is planning a trip to Disney World in Orlando, FL over Fall break 2012 (October 24-28).  The purpose of the trip is both educational and recreational.  The students will perform as an orchestra at one of Disney’s performance location.  During the trip, these students will get to know each other better as musicians and will grow as performers.  They will also develop strong friendships and have experiences they will remember for a lifetime.  We will fly to and from Orlando and visit all four of the major Disney parks and Downtown Disney.  The trip cost will be between $900 and $1150 and includes all transportation, meals, accommodations, park tickets, and performance fees. 

ELIGIBILITY:
You must meet one of the following descriptions in order to travel with the orchestra: (1) 7th through 12th grade orchestra student during the 2012-2013 school year (2) parent/guardian of orchestra student as described above, willing to serve as a chaperone (3) Older sibling or close relative, at least 21 years of age, willing to serve as a chaperone (4) Siblings of orchestra students under 21 years of age if accompanied by a parent/guardian.  All adults MUST have a completed background check on file with the School Town of Highland.  Friends and distant relatives are not eligible to travel with the orchestra. 

DEPOSIT:
A deposit of $100 per traveler is due on February 16th (i.e. one student and one chaperone would cost $200).  Deposits may be made on the website through PayPal or by writing a check payable to “Highland Orchestra Boosters.” This deposit is being collected to determine if there is a sufficient number of travelers to continue planning of the trip.  The deposit is fully refundable until the end of the mandatory trip meeting on February 15 or 16.  At the end of the meeting, you may request a refund—otherwise your deposit becomes non-refundable and you are committing to travel with the orchestra to Disney.
