New York promises to be a wonderful destination for the students to experience and learn about great music, history, and culture. Of
course, most students have expressed an interest in going, but the trip is voluntary. The PHS Music Boosters do not fundraise for
annual trips. The financial responsibility for the trip is completely upon the student and their family. There will be multiple fundraisers organized by the director and student leadership, and any amount a student fundraises will be his or her money only. A student’s fundraised money can be used for any trip contribution but cannot be used for any other purpose. I encourage parents to only send their
student on the trip if the student has participated in fundraising or has contributed to the expense of the trip with their own money (from a part-time job, etc.).
To register for the trip, students must return the “Grade Policy” signed by a parent and the first contribution of $100 by September 12th. Space on the trip is on a first-come-first serve basis, and space is limited to the first 45 participants to register for the trip because there is a limited number of seats on the charter bus. If there is space remaining after the September 12th student deadline, adult chaperones may join the trip until September 20th. After September 20th, adult chaperones and students can only join the trip if space becomes available due to a cancellation. No student will be turned away from participating in the trip due to lack of funds, however, if not enough money is received, the entire trip will need to be canceled. Students not currently in a PHS band class are not allowed to attend.
The total cost of the trip will be $1,225.00.
