Thank you for your support as we prepare for the trip. It is difficult to reply to each individual question, so we try to address questions that apply to more than one person in our group emails.
Music Tests
Score totals and individual point scoring sheets are posted twice daily outside the band room.
-60% of the students have between 170 and 200 test points (200 is perfect). This is where they should be at noon on Thursday (which it is).
-24% of the students are close to the pace, with a score of 125-169
-15% of the students are a behind the pace, with a score of 52-124
-2 students, or <1% of the students, are below 50 and have a lot of work to do.
Wait until you hear our kids, they sound awesome! Nice Work.
Testing Week
We must follow all procedures outlined below- Read the entire section so you know what to do.
We will rehearse early on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Prior to rehearsal on Monday, Wednesday and Friday the directors will be available for help. Tuesday and Thursday will be for sectionals, soloists and help sessions. If you keep your instrument in your hall locker, take it home each night. You will not have access to it when you need it.
Monday’s Rehearsal- 10:30 AM Sharp
If you are testing- relax- do a great job on your test. The test comes first no ifs, ands or buts.
-After your test, you can be released at 10:00 a.m. (10:40 for the late slot)
-Once released, come directly to the band room- the halls must remain clear.
-Bring a pack lunch to eat (school goes until 3:10 each day).
-Eat your lunch in the band room, then meet us for rehearsal.
If you are not testing and your music score is above 180 points- be here by 10:15 for the 10:30 rehearsal. You may enter the school only through the band room entrance. You may not use any other door, walk through hallways or use your hall locker. Remember to eat before coming, there are not lunch periods throughout the shortened day.
If you are not testing and your music test is below 180 points- be here by 8:05 a.m. Don’t sleep in until your music is ready. The directors will be here each morning starting as early as 7:30 a.m. We are here for help and/or testing. You may only enter the school through the band room entrance. You may not use any other door, walk through hallways or use your hall locker. Remember to pack a lunch before coming, there are not lunch periods throughout the shortened day.
The school is permitting us this extra practice time. Be sure to follow all expectations. We need this time.
Dots and music order sheet were handed out.
Instructions are on the sheet. Folders should be perfect. Please check your son’s or daughter’s flip folder to see if it is in order.
Important Dates
March 17- Final trip meeting. Mandatory attendance (every household must be represented), March 22- Trip Preview concert- No excuses. 100% attendance. Large instrument packing will follow the concert
Medical Forms and Liability Forms are past due (only 97% in).
If you are missing music, copy someone else’s part. Don’t root through the band office.
Flute and Clarinet players will either have a band office case assigned to transport (carriers, tools…), be assigned to assist a sousaphone or quad player, or have a second ‘uniform suitcase’. Find four non-flute/clarinet playing band members and tell them you can be their uniform buddy to Milan and home from Munich. Give a list to Mr. Deep and you will be one of our uniform transporters. We need about half of the flute/clarinet players to handle uniforms. On return to Shaker, you will need to bring your suitcase to school the first day we return to turn in the uniforms.
Marching practice will happen outside. Be prepared. Hope for warm weather.

Date Correction
Yesterday's posting had an incorrect date. The Trip Concert will be held on Monday, March 22 at 7 PM in the North Gym at SHHS. 100% attendance is expected from all students. Sorry for the misinformation.
Tuesday, March 9, 2010
15 Days to Go
Important Dates- All Events Start At 7 PM
March 11- Chaperone Meeting at Dr. Grant’s House
March 17- Final Document Meeting at the Middle School (every family must be represented)
March 21- Trip Concert in the High School North Gym (100% attendance from our students)
Music Testing is going well for more than 85% of our students
Wednesday's Assignments
170 points or more- Multipurpose Room at 8 AM
91 to 169 points- Large Auditorium at 7:55
90 points or less- Practice Rooms C and D at 7:45
Euros- get at least a few as a starter
We hear that Charter One bank, on Warrensville by Target, has a large supply of Euros on site. You can get these even if it is not your bank.
Current rates:
-1 US Dollar = .73 Euro
-1 Euro = 1.36 US Dollar
Luggage
Everyone is permitted one suitcase and one small carry-on. These must fit within the size and weight limitations of your air carrier.
Phoning Home and Checking Email
We recommend that you contact your long distance provider and obtain an international calling card that includes a list of country access codes. You can also deposit coins into pay-phones, or use phone cards that can be purchased in Newspaper or Tobacco Shops. However, this is much more difficult than in the past thanks to cell phones. Do not dial home from your hotel room as heavy surcharges can be applied, for which you will be responsible. Be aware that the use of personal cell phones may carry substantial voice/data roaming charges. Check with your individual provider prior to departure for these fees.
Computer access is not free and is very limited at our hotels. There are internet cafes where students may have a chance to check email. However, since the students will be in groups, access will be limited. Also, the rest of the group may not want to check email. It is best to assume that you will not hear from your son or daughter while they are traveling. That way if you are contacted, it’s a bonus.
There are two adults planning on keeping everyone informed. One is planning a ‘virtual shadow trip’ (I love the name). The other plans on uploading photos, a blog and possibly small video clips daily. This is your best bet to stay in touch.

This history of Salzburg puts emphasis on the religious tyranny that has effected southern Europe for Centuries. Modern European History emphasizes the Nazi influence. A broader perspective brings to light the long history of strife throughout Europe; much of which was based on religion. Click here to read more.

Delta Airlines Luggage Regulations- Avoid fees:
3-1-1 rule for Carry-ons
TSA and our security partners conducted extensive explosives testing since August 10, 2006 and determined that liquids, aerosols and gels, in limited quantities, are safe to bring aboard an aircraft. The one bag limit per traveler limits the total amount each traveler can bring. Consolidating the bottles into one bag and X-raying them separately from the carry-on bag enables security officers to quickly clear the items.
3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3.4 ounce (100ml) container size is a security measure.
Be prepared. Each time TSA searches a carry-on it slows down the line. Practicing 3-1-1 will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience.
3-1-1 is for short trips. If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.
Declare larger liquids. Medications, baby formula and food, and breast milk are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint.

Three and a Half Weeks Until the Alps
As discussed in previous posts, medical and release forms are now available. Click below for the appropriate form.
Please fill out the appropriate medical form and the release form and return them both as soon as possible to the Band Office.
As far as other announcements, we are still waiting for 15 passports to be turned in, 10 students and 5 adults. We are also still missing 5 "Six Weeks To Go" Questionnaires, 3 student and 2 shadow trip participants. Both of these items are due immediately.
Music checks are being conducted, but only 10 out of the 220 students going have checked off more that half of their music with a director. 40 students, or 5 groups of 8, have yet to sign up as part of a trip group. Please check with your student concerning whether or not they have signed up as part of a group. This posting is also the last call for roommate groups that would be interested in combining to form the triple rooms needed for several nights of the trip. Triples will soon be assigned if there are no volunteers.
Lastly, for those of you who travel on a regular basis, we would like to make you aware of a special phone offer from "Wireless Traveler." For more information, click here.
