Assigned Flights
At this point one of your awesome London organizers has notified of you of your assigned flight and group's flight leader. If you're traveling with honorary members, please pass along the flight information as some of their emails are not in our system. If you haven't received an email from us, then contact us immediately to rectify the situation. Please bring your passport or a copy of it to Band Day weekend (preferable Friday) to verify it against our flight manifest. We are detailed-oriented and want to ensure no one is kicked off a flight for typos. More details are forthcoming once we hear from the London organizers.Renting Instruments
To be honest, we are having quite a difficult time finding schools to loan us sousaphone cases or additional instruments for the London trip. If you know of any band directors at schools wanting to help us out for a financial donation to their booster program, contact us immediately.Otherwise, unfortunately, you'll have to obtain an instrument from someone or someplace else, as we are out of solutions. We will work with you on alternate drop off times prior to shipping our carnet mid-December. We sincerely apologize for this grave inconvenience.
Shipping Instruments
Be prepared to get your personal instrument to Austin, TX by Band Day, Oct. 17-18th, if you want it shipped.You may drop it off or have a family member, friend, another traveler do so. Please have a luggage tag with your personal contact information on the sturdy case. You'll be handed a special brightly colored orange luggage tag for shipping identification purposes. Please note the approximately value and weight of your personal instrument for insurance shipping purposes.
