2010 Spring Trip

Friday, April 16-Monday, April 19

Orlando, FL

 

Dear Parents and Students,

 

The dates for our spring trip this year have been approved by the school board, and will take place Friday, April 16th leading into spring break through Monday April 19th.  We are applying for a Disney Magic Music Days performance in Orlando, and will likely participate in a parade in one of the parks.

 

This is a fabulous trip and surely a great time will be had by all.  Our band trips are limited to students, parents, and other relatives.  Itinerary details and the payment schedule are below.  I do hope all will be able to participate as we have not traveled in the two previous years.  All student fundraising money can be applied toward the trip, including any left from the Rome Braves, and keep in mind that some fundraisers will be for new uniforms next year, and not applied to individual accounts.

Visit to Typhoon Lagoon

 

Disney legend has it that a furious storm once roared across the sea, hurling surfboards into trees, blowing small boats through roofs and impaling a shrimp boat on a peak of a great volcanic mountain. Left in the typhoon's wake was a water park filled with twisting tides, roaring rapids, wonderful waterways and relaxing rivers.
