[Dhsbb-jazz] Last reminders for New Orleans Trip

[JazzyHorns at aol.com]

Last reminders for New Orleans Travelers:  (Okay, with 3 days left  till 
departure, I can only dream that this will be the "last" reminder, but  maybe, 
right??)   Katie
 

Meds:
Mr. Lange will be at DHS by 11 a.m. on Tuesday to collect  student 
medications.  (If you have no meds to check, the meeting time is  11:15 a.m. for 
everyone).   Please have medications in their  original containers, in a 
ziplock bag with an index card with the name of the  student on it inside the bag 
too.  If you have meds to check in, allow a  few extra minutes on this 
arrival day to get this all handled.  Kids can  carry glucagon, and other 
diabetic supplies, epi pens, and also inhalers, but a  back up of these should be 
with Mr. Lange as well.  
 
ID:
All students will need to bring an official government issued Photo  ID if 
over 18 (driver's license, DMV ID card, passport)   if Under 18 then any of 
these will do, or a student body card  works too.  
 
Food:
It may be hard to get food during the brief lay over in Chicago.   Bring a 
bag dinner for the airplane .  Food can be purchased in flight but  they 
don't take cash, so a debit or credit card would be needed.    Remember 
airplane food can't be liquid or soft before security.  Kids can  purchase drinks 
or any foods after security before boarding the  plane.   
 
Shoes:
We will do a lot of walking on this trip!  We are 1.3 miles from the  
French Quarter and will be making trips in and out of there sometimes multiple  
times each day.  There is a tram system to help with transport, but we may  
find it more practical to walk much of the time.  COMFORTABLE walking shoes  
are a must!  
 
Other items:
Don't forget your swimsuit for the hotel pool, jazz band clothes, maybe a  
light wind breaker/rain jacket  ADULTS:  Something appropriate  for a 
Southern Episcopal Church (the final performance of the trip is  at their Sunday 
Worship Service)..........likely a tie for the men, no jeans,  maybe a skirt 
for the women, covered shoulders.....?  
 
Weather:
Looks to be warm.  Sat. and Sun. get a little warmer up to 84 or  so...
 
Think sunscreen, clothing for warm, humid weather...

Spending Money:
All breakfasts are provided , 2 lunches and  2 dinners.   Kids will need to 
purchase all the rest of their meals, any snacks,  as  well as any 
souvenirs.  Estimated amount to consider bringing would be  approximately $75 - 
$125.  We will have a trip bank for any student who  finds they are running low 
on funds - so no one will go hungry!
