MANDATORY TRIP MEETING FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS APRIL 8
Our Final Mandatory trip meeting for our NYC trip will be Wednesday, April 8th at 6:30pm at the FBMS auditorium.
This meeting is for both parents and students to get accurate information regarding our specific itinerary and the sequence of events leading up to our trip. Please notice that this is on the same evening as our "Spring Concert II". Each student must have at least one parent with them for this very important final meeting. Every student and their parent will be checked off a list at the door prior to the meeting. Please realize that our first concern is that everyone is receiving accurate information, has a chance to ask any final questions and feels comfortable knowing all of the facts.
DISPENSING OF MEDICATION FORMS
In addition to your health forms, students requiring any type of medication during our trip must fill out a dispensing of medication form. This form authorizes our nurse to dispense medication. The nurse will keep each form and medication together in a sealed baggie throughout the trip to ensure that each student is receiving the proper dose at the proper time.. The nurse will be the only person administering medication.
Please notice on the form that there is a section for self-administering medication. The nurse will review each request and make a decision on a case-by-case basis. Our trip nurse, Jane Landry, can be reached at JLandry@mpsd.org Please return the attached form at your earliest convenience in a sealed envelope with your child's name on it.

FORMS DUE
The bi-annual MHS Music Trip is scheduled for April 16-19, 2009. Destination: New York City. Working closely with our trip coordinator, Michelle Kabilian, and Suburban Tours, we are making progress on our itinerary and application process.
Soon, students will be given a time-line for auditioning for the privilege of participating in the New York trip. Since this trip is first and foremost about musicianship, we feel that it is very important that each student demonstrates their commitment to their performance at the Music Showcase Festival. It is important that each student realize that this trip is an earned privilege. Students who are having trouble with their music will have the opportunity to seek extra-help. We are not necessarily expecting perfection. We are, however, looking to make sure that students are working consistently (nightly home practice, positive attitude, willingness to improve) to reach their maximum potential. Of course, behavior and commitment level are also serious factors for participation in the trip. During the audition stage of planning, October-December, in the event that a student does not meet their musical requirement; they will be able to receive a full refund.
We are very excited about our April 2009 trip. We are confident that the students will have a rich musical experience and a rewarding cultural experience.
