GROUP TOUR COMMITMENT FORM

8-27-13

Dear Parent,

We are proposing to take a trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida departing March 19, 2014 and returning March 23, 2014.  We are looking for commitments from families now in order to settle in the exact cost of the trip per student.  We are requesting a $25.00 non-refundable deposit due on Sept 12^th.  It is important that we have full instrumentation for our performance and recording events in the parks.  We will leave Centennial at noon on Wednesday, March 19^th and return Sunday, March 23^rd in the late afternoon. 

            The trip to Disney, Orlando will include a recording session in which the students will play in a recording studio as a band.  The music they will sight read will be rehearsed and recorded by professional Disney musicians and engineers.  The students will learn how studio ensembles play along with movies and animated scenes by actually providing the music for a short animated film.  Each student will then get to keep a copy of the DVD. 

            In addition to recording session, the Marching Chargers will perform for the largest crowd they may every see by parading through the Magic Kingdom.

            On Thursday, we will arrive at the Epcot Center.  Thursday Evening will be spent in the Animal Kingdom.  Friday will contain the recording session and Universal Studios.  Saturday will be the day of our parade in the Magic Kingdom.  Every night will end with fireworks, a parade of lights, or the Fantasmic laser water show.
