Students and Parents,
I must inform you that we have made some revisions to the trip. These revisions
have affected 1) the performance of each of the groups, and 2) the cost.
There were certain costs that were not included in the original proposal, and as such, were not included in the total
price. In order to include all costs, and still maintain a high quality experience, we changed the performance. We will be
visiting Rutgers University for a performance with esteemed music faculty in their music department. Students will get a first
hand look and a premier music department in a top-notch university, as well as advice and critiques from nationally known
music scholars.
The cost of the trip has changed to $685.00.
This change came about because of transportation mostly, but with the change in performance venues, extra time in the city
required another activity.
All persons who have
made payments previously will be given the option of applying that payment to the new deposit, or receiving a full refund.
You must state your intentions by the deposit date, November 4, in order to receive the full refund.
It is our intention to provide a meaningful, educational trip at a price that allows the maximum number of students
to attend. I hope you will allow your child to be a part of this great opportunity.
Spring Trip ~ April 15-18, 2010 ~ New York,
NY
Revision
This year the high school music department is
sponsoring a spring trip to New York, New York on April 15-18, 2010. The purpose of this trip is to perform
in clinic session before highly skilled clinicians at a well respected university. In addition, we will
experience the educational culture and diversity that makes New York a great destination.
All students have permission to miss two days of classes (one orange day and one blue day).
All schoolwork must be completed, subject to the wishes of the classroom teachers. There is a possibility
that a conflict will arise with a school activity such as athletics. The athletic department’s policy
is that our spring trip will not be taken into consideration for participation on a team. However, it is
the coach’s duty to show fairness to all students. Please take this into consideration.
The trip includes 3 night’s lodging, bus transportation, Clinican and
performance fees, 2 breakfasts, 2 dinners, a ticket to a major Broadway performance, admission to New York attractions that
may include The Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island or Rockefeller Center. Also included
is a boat ride aboard Cruise Line Tours around Manhattan. Students will need to bring money for 1 breakfast,
1 dinner, 4 lunches, and leisurely shopping. The cost for chaperones will be the same as for the students.
The cost will be $685.00 and will be divided into 4
payments of $171.25 as follows:
Payment #1………………………………………………due
by November 4
Payment #2………………………………………………due
by December 4
Payment #3…………………………………………….due
by January 4
Payment #4…………………………………………….due
by February 4
Please make
all checks payable to Hayfield Secondary School.
Fees will be adjusted using money from each student’s individual fundraising account with his or
her booster organization. All fees paid that have not already been encumbered will be refunded if the trip
is cancelled.
PLEASE NOTE: Non-refundable deposits need
to be made for this trip. Trip payments that are already received may not be refunded unless an approved
substitute is found. A student, who makes payments and then
decides not to attend, must find another music student to take his or her place. Otherwise, he or
she will forfeit those payments. This student’s replacement choice is subject to the approval of
his or her director.
Please fill out the bottom portion of this form
and return it along with the first non-refundable payment of $170.00 by November 4, 2009.
