Disneyland has requested our seating arrangement and instrumentation requirements for the workshop. Some of you may need to play a reasonable fact simile for parts. i.e. There may not be Contra-Alto parts etc. Quickly and quietly find your seats. (similar to concert seating) For ease of logistics and set-up, you may not get to play the same part you play in class i.e. 1 st, 2 nd, or 3 rd. IT DOESN T MATTER! Play the part on your stand the very best you can. If you are close enough to switch music, do so quietly and unobtrusively. Be personable! This is a time for courteous Fun. Work with your clinician.

Please pay close attention to the director s instructions and the Disney staff s instructions. Once backstage, please be very quiet.

Instead, you need to load your instruments, music, and uniforms into the Band Trailer which will be driven through Disneyland security. In turn, students must meet at the Toon Town gate (tunnel) at the specified times where Disney staff will take us through a special gate to the pre-staging and workshop areas. DO NOT BE LATE!

Student Demeanor Expectations As with all school sanctioned events, Lynden High School District Rules and Regulations, as outline in the Student Handbook, are in effect and are to be adhered to by all tour participants. In addition, the nature of this type of trip requires unique and specialized considerations associated with group travel and overnight stays. Some examples include: 1. All students must follow instructions the first time given by supervisory personnel. (Directors, chaperones, motel security, Disney staff etc.) 2. Students must be at all tour specified locations at or before the required times. 3. Students are not allowed in motel rooms other than the room they are assigned. 4. Students must remain vigilant of and disassociated from outside influences. At no time may students leave with, ride in a private vehicle, or otherwise consort with those not traveling with Lynden High School Band. 5. Students are not allowed to leave assigned rooms after the evening room check has been completed. All doors will be marked with a security seal. Those rooms with broken seals will have earlier curfews and possible detention room assignment. 6. Students may never leave the motel alone. Everyone must operate on the buddy system. If you are going to the theme parks, McDonald s, or anywhere away from the motel you must be with at least one other person from our group. One of you must have a cell phone. Keep the Emergency numbers on your person. 7. Please remember, Anaheim is NOT Lynden. Our first and foremost concern is with your safety. How you behave and react can have a direct impact on that safety. Be polite, courteous, and non-confrontational. If you have a problem or concern immediately contact a chaperone or another adult. Keep Emergency numbers on your person. 8. Keep your money and other personal valuables in a safe place. Do not let anyone including your roommates know where that safe place is! 9. Be sure to have the Emergency Phone numbers on your person at all times. 10. The Anaheim Plaza has a very nice Olympic-sized pool. Please be sure you have parent permission to use the pool as it is basically unsupervised. Parents must sign the form allowing you to use the pool. 11. Be responsible and mature! Remember...Your conduct and attitude determines our chance for future participation in music trips.

Traveling in 2015 This year we must again make many special allowances for not only heightened security but for recent changes in Alaska Airline Baggage Policies. Regarding what can and can t be taken, it is recommended you visit the TSA web site for complete information at http://www.tsa.gov/ Many airlines, including our carrier, Alaska, have restricted the amount and type of baggage allowed. Alaska allows only one carry-on and one personal item. The carry-on item must be 10 H x 17 W x 24 L or smaller. The personal item should be able to fit under the seat! Any checked suitcase/luggage/instrument is $25 extra each way. It also must measure smaller than 62 linear inches that is the length plus the height plus the width. IMPORTANT Any suitcase weighing more than 50 pounds costs an additional $50 one-way! The same restriction is placed on oversized baggage which will include our instruments but that charge could be up to $75 one-way! You can go to the Alaska Airline web site at http://www.alaskaair.com to read about the baggage restrictions and fees.
