Stratford Arts Commission — WE NEED MORE PERFORMERS!

The Annual Stratford Arts Commission Performances are Feb 20 at the Riverview Bistro. Students may elect to perform a solo or small group. Please advise ASAP if you can perform and attend!

Band Trip — URGENT

The Airfare quotes that we have received (Delta, United & American) for the trip next November have been ridiculously high. ($750–$950pp — round trip).

JetBlue prices get released in about 3 weeks and are expected to be $400–550pp round trip.

However — in order to reserve a JetBlue ticket — we MUST have your deposit ($50) and Super Holiday Tours Registration completed BEFORE you can get ticketed for the flight.

Currently we have 160 travelers signed up for the trip, but only 62 who have completed the registration process and made a deposit.
