NCDA Honor Band Trip Itinerary

Initial Information

Students should regularly and diligently practice honor band music so as to be prepared for group rehearsals. These rehearsals are intended for the group to learn to play as an ensemble, experience quality literature, enjoy the honor band experience, and give a top-quality performance on Saturday afternoon. In order for this to occur, students must learn the notes, rhythms, and dynamics prior to the honor band clinic.

A $30.00 Hotel Fee will be added to your account and is due by Friday, December 18th, before the holiday break. Payments may be made by Trip Funds (if money is in trip account), or Credit Card (done on Band Parent Website).

Students should review RULES OF CONDUCT FOR OVERNIGHT TRIPS before going to event.

Proper concert attire consists of Marching band uniform, Long black socks, Black marching band shoes, and Gauntlets. No hats.

Friday, January 8th

 6:00 AM    Load Buses

We have three buses going to Stillwater - two for HS students and one for MS. Students in grades 9-12 should check out uniform and load everything at the HS music building. Students in grades 7-8 will load buses in the MS front oval. Remember to bring your suitcase, concert uniform/attire, instrument, folder/music, pencil, mutes (if needed), and money for meals and evening activity. Students should pack lightly as they will be carrying everything on Saturday morning to their rehearsal venue.

Percussion students should make double sure they have brought all necessary instruments and sticks/mallets. It would be a good idea for percussion students to organize all equipment Thursday after school so nothing is accidentally forgotten on Friday morning. Take care of school and personal equipment. We want them to stay in good condition and not to get forgotten, lost, stolen, damaged, or broken.

 6:30 AM    Depart for Stillwater

 8:00 AM    Arrive and Unload

Seating is at 8:15. All groups are rehearsing at Stillwater High School, 1224 N. Husband Street

Saturday, January 9th

Students should allow enough time to get cleaned and dressed, eat breakfast, pack, and load everything on the buses.

Make sure you have not left anything in the hotel as we will not return to hotel after morning rehearsals. Students should be on the same buses as yesterday.

8:00 AM   Depart for Rehearsals

Once students have been dropped off for morning rehearsals, buses will return to Jenks. Students will need to unload everything off the bus and keep them in a predetermined place during morning rehearsals. After morning rehearsal, tranportation will now be the responsibility of individual families. Directors will still be present during morning rehearsals but unable to provide transportation to individuals.
