Departure Pushed 15 Minutes / Final Packing & Attire Reminders

We have been advised by our travel agent that we should not unload at O'Hare until 12:45-1 PM. We will therefore adjust our schedule:

11:30 - 11:45 Students arrive.

11:45 Sudents put their bags/instruments on the correct coach bus, and check in with their chaperone. 

12:00 Chaperone group meetings. Students hand Passport to chaperone. Final announcements. 

12:10 (approx) - Load Coaches / Depart for O'Hare. Wave good-bye!

Remember, 1 suitcase (under 50 lbs & 62" limit), 1 carry-on (45" limit), and your instrument. (Tubas and Bari Saxes need only bring mouthpieces/reeds/neckstrap.) All items should have a D99 Honors Band tag with your personal information on the tag. 

Music Binder and concert attire go in your suitcase. 

For travel, we wear tour jersey with an undershirt (black, white or gray). Pants: either jeans or khaki material. Capri length pants are okay. Shorts are not. No athletic pants. Wear comfortable walking shoes (tennis shoes okay). Fresh shirt in your carry-on. 

"Don't forget your passport!"
