*While at Hershey Park, students must stay in groups of at least 4 people. Nobody is to ever go anywhere by themselves. Students will receive a voucher that is good for one free meal. They should bring a small amount of cash for any other food or souvenirs they wish to purchase. Students can bring snacks for the bus, but they will not be permitted to take them into the amusement park. If you have not been to this amusement park recently please visit http://www.hersheypark.com/ too see the rides and attractions that are available inside the park. The Boardwalk (Water Park) is not open for the season yet.
7:00 pm – Awards Ceremony in Hershey Park at Tidal Force Pavillion. ALL students must attend the awards ceremony. Students should arrive at the pavilion between 6:30-6:45 pm. Do NOT try to wait in line for a ride if it could make you late to the awards ceremony. We will board the motorcoaches immediately following the awards ceremony.

*9:30-10:00 pm – Return to A.I. duPont High School. Once we return to school, we need EVERYONE to help bring the equipment back into the band room. This should only take 5 minutes.
