New Updates as of 2/2/2023

There were a LOT of messages that went out today with all the real-time changes being made and some last-minute checks on things due to the storm that caused ALL three flights to be cancelled yesterday. The band directors are super thankful for parents and students for their understanding and their flexibility while we try to pull the rest of the trip together for our kids.

Here are all the items discussed:
  • Reminder: you need your blue trip shirt tomorrow.
  • The Trip Itinerary has been updated many times. The button below is the FINAL itinerary for the trip. You can CLICK HERE FOR THE FINAL ITINERARY
  • Flight Rosters were posted on the BAND app so kids and adults can see who is in your flight.
  • The new flights on Friday February 3:
    • We will be departing from AHS at 1:30PM on yellow busses to go to the airport to meet Pat with TMF.
    • DEPARTURE ITINERARY HERE - to be clear - we are leaving FROM Atascocita HS to go to the airport. Be sure to read the lunch plan for tomorrow.
    • We will go through TSA. Please go to the following link for baggage dimensions for American Airlines (it's ever slightly different than what we were told): For dimensions for AA, CLICK HERE FOR LINK
    • 5:50 PM - GROUP 1: has 50 Travelers on American Airlines Flight #1462 Departs to Charlotte (CLT)
    • 6:19 PM - GROUP 2: has 26 Travelers on America Airlines Flight #1451 Departs to Miami (MIA)
    • 6:32 PM - GROUP 3: has 49 Travelers on American Airlines Flight #2737 Departs to Dallas (DFW)
  • The workshop was cancelled - students will not need to bring their instruments. And the blue AMB shirt is no longer required.
  • TMF pulled strings, and now kids will be able to go from one park to another. WE WILL PARK HOP TOGETHER. AS PER THE HANDBOOK, NO ONE DOES ANYTHING APART FROM THE BAND - WE DO ALL THE THINGS TOGETHER AS A TEAM.​
This is all of the very important information that all students and parents MUST READ and MUST AGREE TO before participating in the Disney trip with the AHS band.
Here is the new departure plan!
