After our performance, students will be assigned to a chaperone group (5-7 students). The chaperones will have all the tickets and wristbands. Students will receive one park meal and dinner. Money in the park is optional. Students are to follow all instructions of their chaperones. No questions asked. If students are unable to follow the guidelines, they will lose privileges in the park.

Student Checkout

If you plan to check out your child at the event, please email me by Friday, 6/5, at 7 am.

Only the guardian/parent listed in PowerSchool is allowed to check out a student. If you plan to check out your child, please communicate the provisions needed to make so they can leave with you and not return to the school. A sign-out sheet will be available. All checkouts must come through the band director.

**Medication: **

Students who have medication need to turn this in to the band director with a parent-signed copy of the instructions.

Guest Parents

You are more than welcome to accompany the group your child is assigned to. However, if you plan to take your child from the chaperone, you must complete a formal sign-out and exit the park. You can pay admission at the entry gate or online.
