Because of a scheduling conflict with the State Band Competition, we have had to make some adjustments to the spring trip. The State Band Competition is scheduled for Saturday April 21 – we thought it was the 28th. As the 2-time defending state champion, Mr. Converse felt it was important that we compete – the Board wholeheartedly agreed. Therefore, we will be leaving Wednesday night (April 18th) and arriving on Thursday morning.
We estimate the total cost will be around $340. This includes busses, lodging and all meals.
Please complete this Trip Intent Form and send it back as soon as possible so that we have a good idea of how many students will be participating.
Thank you for your patience and if you have any questions regarding the trip, contact Denita Richards or Stephen Montoya.
