Student List (for TN only)

  • This sheet is sorted by student last name and indicates room assignment, bus assignment for Thursday, bus assignment for Friday through Sunday, and their adult chaperone’s name. If you student will be traveling separately from their chaperone on Thursday due to the PSAT, their temporary chaperone will be their Thursday bus leader and will switch at room checks on Thursday night at the hotel.
  • To find your students roommates, match up the Room. Roommates will have the same R__ listing. Those roommates were selected by them in August.

Itinerary

  • a printed copy will also be given to students along with a luggage tag.
  • We will use Remind messages on Sunday alerting you on our approximate arrival time at West. Itinerary shows 6pm but it may be as early at 5pm.

Packing List

  • We have provided this general packing list for your convenience. Please remember that your student is responsible for carrying their own bags & items. and we are not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items.
  • Instrument instructions will be given during the student meeting which is forthcoming.

Meals

All meals are included EXCEPT for lunch on Thursday, dinner at Dollywood on Friday and lunch on the way home on Sunday.

For questions, you can reach out to trips@lakotawestbands.org or reach out to Mr. Carr or Mr. Celek.

PSAT notes:

  • The school provided us with a list of students who are registered to take the PSAT. All students taking the PSAT will take bus 5 on the list leaving at 1pm from outside the band room. They will need to eat lunch between the end of the test and the departure of the bus. They can bring lunch with them on the bus but the bus will NOT be stopping for a meal.
  • Bus 5 will have 3 chaperones along with staff members riding with them.
