DISNEY TRIP: I am starting to put together a whole bunch of stuff for the Disney trip that is scheduled to kick off on February 2 that Thursday. We will have a mandatory meeting on November 28th at 7:30PM in the high school cafeteria to go over absolutely every single possible detail that goes into pulling off a trip that is hundreds of miles away. We will go over in full detail the Disney trip handbook that has every single item necessary for a fun and safe trip.

Here are a few big Disney notes to prepare yourself for:

• Academic Eligibility: Since we are leaving on Thursday during school hours, any student who is attending the trip must be passing their classes and academically eligible to go. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEAL. A student who fails BOTH report card no. 2 and progress report no. 7 will lose their entire trip and the funds they paid for the trip. This is out of our control. We will go over this in detail at Monday’s meeting, and I’ll be available to answer any questions - I have some ideas on how I can help with this.  
• It is a completely required meeting to attend: Any student who is going on the Disney trip MUST attend the meeting with their parents. Chaperones who have signed up to attend the trip must be there as well. 

**Veterans Day Performance is THURSDAY, not Friday.
VETERANS DAY **THURSDAY**: The HS Wind Ensemble (varsity band) will be playing at the Veterans Day memorial service.

• Varsity Band, report to the band hall at 7:15AM
• Wear red collar band shirts and blue jeans - pep rally attire.
• Memorial service starts at 8:00AM and is in the high school cafeteria.
• Have ready: National Anthem and God Bless America.

We will have more information coming out on the BAND app band page as time goes on. But that’s it for now. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me an email at any time. rxbest@humbleisd.net
