Our hotel rooming list is due Feb. 20th and the remaining 50% payment per student is due to Mr. White by March 1st to pay for the hotel rooms.

The festival experience fulfills many of the standards set forth in the National Core Arts Standards. Click here for the specific standards explored through this experience.
Our kids will travel on charter buses to Orlando, Florida and compete in the judged live Concert Band category, stay two nights in a hotel, and have the opportunity to enjoy Disney theme parks. Competition, Saturdayevening awards ceremony, and an educational clinic for the students are included in the discounted Festival Disney package ticket.
