miscellaneous• What happens at the band clinic?

• During the Disney Performing Arts Clinic, You’re Instrumental, band students will sight-read, prepare and record a polished performance of special Disney music selections in a studio environment like a professional musician.

• Fan package participants will not attend the workshop but will instead take Disney transportation directly to the park.

• What does the security guard do? • The security guard monitors the hallway of the hotel we will be staying

in starting at curfew. The security guard will stay on duty every evening until 6AM the following morning.

• If there are any problems, the security guard will contact the chaperones

miscellaneous (cont.)• What is the procedure for the time spent at the hotel?

• There will be no Co-Ed rooms for students. • Students are not allowed to go into any hotel room other than their

own (including their parents’ if they purchase the fan package. If students from different rooms want to meet up, they should do so in a common area of the hotel.

• The students have very little free time at the hotel. Once we arrive at the hotel, students will be checked into their rooms by their chaperone. Lights out will be approximately 30 minutes later.

• In the morning, students will be expected to be at breakfast by a time set in the itinerary.

• ALL STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO EAT BREAKFAST EVERY MORNING.

miscellaneous (cont.)• Do we get Magic Bands?

• Yes! • Travelers will get to choose their colors • MagicBands can be used as hotel room keys, park tickets, fast passes and

for Photopass • No credit cards will be linked to the MagicBands

• Will we have Fastpasses? • Yes!

• What is Photopass? • Disney photos taken by Cast Members or on rides will go to one account. • Everyone who attends the trip will be given access to the photos after

the trip.

miscellaneous (cont.)• Are students excused from school while on the trip?

• Students are considered to be in attendance at school while we are on the trip.

• This means they will not be counted as absent. • It also means that they are responsible for collecting any work they may

miss while we are gone BEFORE we leave on the trip. • All work assigned will be due on time. • They will not receive extra time to complete this work. • While teachers have been made aware of which students will be

attending the trip, students should still talk to their teachers well in advance of the trip and plan ahead.
