Final Hawaii Information

Final Hawaii Information,

Hi Everyone!  We are VERY close to departing for Hawaii and wanted to remind you of a few things before we leave.  First, I would encourage all of you to review the information from our final trip meeting one more time.  You can find that information here:

http://spiritofsouthpaulding.blogspot.com/p/hawaii-information.html

Please help your children by making sure that they have packed the necessary items and check to make sure they have not packed any unnecessary items.  Items of considerable importance include (but are not limited to) Uniforms, Marching Band Shoes, Black Socks, Flip-Books for music, phone chargers, sunscreen, hats, and deodorant. 

For our performance at Pearl Harbor, anyone with long hair will need to make sure that their hair does not touch their collar of their uniform (this is the same procedure as any other time we wear our uniforms).  Please make sure you have what you need to make sure this happens. 

All students who are 18 years of age or older will need to provide photo identification at the airport. 

We are flying out of the SOUTH terminal of the Atlanta Airport.

Please have a conversation with your child about proper airport etiquette.  Important things to review: never leave luggage unsupervised, remain calm, cool, and collected at all times, etc.

We (the school) will transport all of our OVERSIZED instruments to the airport.  This includes: Bass Clarinets, Tenor Saxophones, Euphoniums, Trombones, Sousaphones, all Percussion Instruments, and all Flags for the Color Guard.  These students are responsible for making sure their instruments are loaded on the trailer during the school day tomorrow (Friday the 15^th.)

Students who do not play an oversized instrument must transport that instrument to the airport themselves.  This includes: Flutes, Clarinets, Alto Saxophones, Trumpets, and Mellophones.  These instruments will be “carried on” to the plane.

The phone number you can reach us at during the trip, for emergencies only, is included in the email we just sent out through CHARMS with this same information.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions!
