Registration Deadline: Wednesday, September 23
Any student who completed preliminary registration with our staff on or prior to July 1st may register now, and should do so by September 23 to guarantee a spot on the tour. The deposit will not be charged to families until October 1.
Total Package Cost
The total package cost is correct as listed on the IPS Registration Instructions ($3,360). There was a $10 discrepancy on our slide last night (#3,350), but it has been corrected and appears accurately on the slides that are running on our tour website.
Will there be an additional meeting to cover logistics like currency exchange and medical forms?
Yes! We should have clarified last night that there will be a meeting scheduled in January or February where students and parents will receive a great deal of information about money management, packing lists, medical forms, etc. Stay tuned!
Help me understand why I need to "Follow By Email"?
As we mentioned last night, all future correspondence about the tour, after October 1st, will be done by posting to the Tour Blog. It is important that family members (parents, and student participants) register their preferred email addresses through the form in the upper left corner of the Tour Blog. Don't forget to look for a verification email (from Google, or FeedBurner), and verify your email address.
What do I do if I'm in Wind Ensemble, but did not express an interest in the tour prior to July 1st?
For now, please hold. Do not register yet on the IPS system. Make sure your band director knows of your interest, and we will be back to you after the first initial round of formal registrations. We will do our best to accommodate your interest, but we need to check instrumentation balance after October 1 before we can move forward.
