HOTEL PROCEDURES & BEHAVIOR GUIDELINES Trips are a special privilege earned by the students in the GHS Band Program. It is expected that students carry themselves in a way that demonstrates the best of our band program, our school, and our district. We want to make sure we maintain our incredible reputation! Here are the procedures that students will need to follow at ALL TIMES. No boys in girls rooms/floors; no girls in boys rooms/floors. You may use common areas in the hotel lobby during free time. When in buildings (especially at the theater, dinner and the hotel), students must maintain a quiet indoor voice and demeanor. Hotel phones and amenities (rental movies, bottled water for sale in room) are NOT to be used by students. Students MAY answer the phone if it rings, because it would be a chaperone calling or the hotel desk (wakeup call, etc). If students need something while at the hotel (toothbrush, extra blanket, etc.) they are to contact a chaperone who will help them. Hotel balconies sliding doors should remain shut at all times since we will be in rooms primarily during quiet hours. Follow instructions from Mr. Loney or any other trip chaperone AT ALL TIMES. Represent Gahr well and have a great time performing and enjoying San Diego with your friends! ***IMPORTANT*** While we do not anticipate any issues: Any students who are not following these rules may be asked to leave the trip at the parent s expense. Parents would need to meet us in San Diego and pick up their child immediately, and may affect student s ability to participate in end of year activities and future program trips. Any damage to the hotel, charges to the room, or damage caused to the bus by students will be charged to those student s families. Please make sure you are doing the right thing at ALL TIMES and we can continue to have great experiences for our program!! Parents may not take students away from our group during the trip. If a parent needs to take their student, they will need to be officially checked out from the trip with Mr. Loney and will not be able to rejoin the group.
