How exciting is it that we leave this week for Washington D.C. I can't wait to see you perform on Saturday on Lincoln's memorial. Let hope it doesn't rain! Please make sure review all materials sent home while packing for the trip :)

Some quick reminders for the trip that I just thought of :

  • Make sure that you have enough money for meals and souvenirs.
  • Please be on your best behavior at all times.
  • Please make sure all medical forms are in for medication.
  • But most important..... Please make sure to have fun while in Washington D.C.

Make sure to double and triple check all items being brought on the trip. We don't want you to be without any important items. If there are any questions, please email or call and we will be glad to answer them.
