Final Trip Reminders

 

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

We finally leave for Orlando on Sunday!

All travelers must arrive at West by 5:00am this coming Sunday. Travelers may be dropped off on North Eagle Street by the band door. If you must leave your vehicle at school while we travel, please park in the auditorium lot near door #30.

Travelers should enter door #33 when they arrive. (This is the door that gets you to the hallway between the music wing and the auditorium. It’s to the right of the band door.) Before you enter the building, make sure that your performance items are in your hands, NOT your suitcase (LONG black socks, ALL black shoes, undershirt, hair supplies, etc.). When you arrive, we will tag your suitcase, put your performance supplies in the BRT bag, and have you bring your baggage, backpack, and jacket to the search areas. Men’s items will be searched in the orchestra room and women’s items will be searched in the choir room. While this happens, students will be in the band room.

Packing Reminders

Please consult the packing list as you prepare for the trip! A few important reminders:

  • Travelers will not have access to suitcases until Monday night (about 40 hours after we leave Oshkosh).

  • Hygiene Supplies

    • Have any supplies you need to use before sleeping on the bus in your backpack on the bus. This should include a toothbrush and toothpaste and may include glasses, contact supplies, facewash, etc.

    • Have any supplies you need to be ready for the day in your backpack on the bus. This must include deodorant and sunscreen! Travelers will not have access to a shower before we begin the day.

  • Clothing

    • Have comfy clothes for the bus in your backpack on the bus. This should include something that you’ll be comfortable sleeping in.

    • Have the clothes you plan on wearing on Monday at Hollywood Studios in your backpack on the bus.

Overpayment

As shared before, please be aware that we cannot return more than $100 of payment beyond the cost of the trip due to overpayment. This becomes a liability as it can look like the school is being used for a pass-through. Please remember that fundraising profits cannot be returned for any reason. P

Trip overages will be applied to May’s WSMA trip payment. Any remaining funds will be offered back to families.

Itinerary

The itinerary that we have available on our website is final. Families, if you are purchasing your own tickets to line up with the days that we're in the parks, you are safe to do that now. Our travel company has told us that the days are set.
