2017 Band Trip – Itinerary Change

To help minimize the cost of the JWHS Band/Color Guard 2017 spring trip to Williamsburg, VA, we have decided to shorten the trip by one day. We will be going to Williamsburg, VA for 2 days rather than 3 days. We will leave as planned on Friday, April 29th and return late Saturday night, April 30th.

By not staying thru Sunday, the cost of the trip will be reduced by ($100) making the total cost of the trip $350 per student and $305 per chaperone for quadruple occupancy.  See below for the cost of other occupancies:

Q= $350 / $305
T = $360 / $315
D = $400 / $355
S = $500 / $455

If you have already sent in your full payment for the original amount, let us know if you want a refund or would like to apply to your students account.

There will be a new itinerary sent out shortly.

If you have any concerns, please contact Mr. Rutherford or the Booster President.
