THE SECOND PAYMENT OF $200 IS DUE TUESDAY, JANUARY 15TH !!!!

 

Here is the latest on the upcoming trip to New York City.

 

1. We will be staying at the Marriott Courtyard in Lyndhurst, NJ. This is right next door to the Medieval Times Dinner Theatre, where the parade awards dinner will be held on Sunday night.  Some of you have mentioned that you are making your own travel arrangements and would like to stay at or near the bands hotel.  If you would like to get a good price on the room call Kewl, Inc. at 301-898-8628.  Let them know that you are with the TJ Band.  You will need to pay Kewl directly... not the TJ Band Boosters.  To be clear, this is only if you are making your own travel arrangements. If you are going with the band, your room has already been reserved.

 

If case you are wondering, yes... the awards dinner is happening on Sunday, before the band is judged at the parade on Monday.  Why is that?...you might ask.  Ask away....I haven't got a clue, but that is how it is scheduled.

 

2. If you would like to make your payments online, with a credit card, you can do that.  Just follow these instructions.

 

  A. Go to www.kewledu.net

  B. Click on the school trips link on the left navigation (this will take you to a login page)

  C. In the box, enter tjband in lower case and click login (from here you will be able to make a payment)

 

I just made my second payment at this site to make sure that it works...and it does.

 

3. We are very close to publishing the itinerary.  Once we have confirmation that our 1st choice for a Broadway Play is a GO...Phantom of the Opera,  we will firm up the rest of the itinerary.  You can check www.kewledu.net to get a copy of the itinerary, once it is complete.

 

4. THE SECOND PAYMENT OF $200 IS DUE ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 15TH.  It is very important that you keep up with your payments as the band has to make payments to the tour company and the parade coordinator.  Just like you, the band does not keep ten's of thousand's of dollars laying idle to cover things like this.  We need to keep the cash flowing.  If you fall behind you will receive polite and persistent calls as friendly reminders of your obligation.

 

Are you as Jazzed as I am about this trip.  It is going to be FANTASTIC. 

 

To the tune of "New York, New York":

 

Start spreading the news,

we're leaving one day,

we're going to be a part of it,

New York, New York.

 

These black Dinkle shoes,

are longing to stray,

right through the very heart of it,

New York New York.

 

$20 to the person who can BEST create TJ Band lyrics to finish the song.

 

GO BAND !!!
