Band
Directors
The role of the
band directors is to be seen at all times and be ready to assist with whatever
needs to be taken care of. The directors will be responsible for watching the
entire group. Mr. Donalson is in charge of every aspect of the trip, if he does
not know what is happening then it should not be….mwahahahaha!
Chaperones
The role of the chaperone is to be
available at all times for the students that they are in charge of. Each
chaperone will have a list of seven to ten students that are to report to them
when needed. The chaperones will not be
babysitters ~ they will not hold your child’s hand. They will be available,
along with the directors, if there is something that needs attention. The chaperones will also conduct room checks
at night.
Students
The role of the student is to be on their best behavior at all
times. Students will be ON -TIME for all events, and to remember that they are
representing their school and families.
In my 13 years at Memorial we have not had any major problems with
students. I fully expect the trend to
continue. While staying on the ship there will NOT be any coed visiting at ANY
time. All cabin rules and regulations
will be adhered to at all times. There will be a zero tolerance rule for any
drinking or drugs. If there should be someone who makes the choice
to do something wrong, then I will call the parents of that student and they
will become responsible for getting their son/daughter home from the cruise
immediately.
School Rules
As always school rules apply in all situations and will be
enforced to the letter. This is a well-traveled group and as always I expect
that you will not embarrass yourselves, your parents or your school by
making choices that you know will only lead to trouble.
