Thursday May 1 - Saturday, May 3. https://urtoursandevents.wetravel.com/trips/huntsville-high-school-band-trip-ur-tours-and-events-84984574 Updates 1/20/25: Here is the most updated itinerary. We hate that we cannot perform the national anthem at the Cardinals game. This was well beyond our control and we did everything we could to make it happen. Because we are unable to perform the national anthem at the Cardinals game, it is going to save everyone $40 on the trip. Wait list: If you registered recently, you were placed on a wait list. The reason for this is because our buses are completely full. Getting another bus has 2 challenges - 1 it will change the price of the trip making it more expensive and 2 - getting charter buses May 1-3 has been very challenging - no availability of charter buses this particular weekend across many companies. We are considering our options with this as we want as many people to go as possible, but for right now you are wait-listed. Payment Schedule $150.00 PER PERSON ON OR BEFORE OCTOBER 31ST TO CONFIRM TRIP DETAILS $200.00 PER PERSON ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 15, 2024 $250.00 PER PERSON ON OR BEFORE FEBRUARY 3, 2025 BALANCE DUE ON OR BEFORE MARCH 14, 2025 Summer Schedule 2025 June 30 - July 2 Leadership Camp (Leadership team only - mornings and afternoons) July 9-11 Marching Percussion Camp (required for all marching band percussion) July 14-18 Band Camp Week 1 - All Day (required for all marching band students) July 21-25 Band Camp Week 2 - All day (required for all marching band students) Friday, July 25th Optional DCI Trip to MTSU (afternoon and evening) Tuesday, July 29 Rehearsal 6-9 pm (required for all marching band students) Thursday, July 31 Rehearsal 6-9 pm (required for all marching band students) Monday, August 4th First Day of School Winter Guard The schedule can be viewed here.
