Mr. Campos Report

 

·        Mr. Campos introduced an idea for spring tour next year.

o       5 day cruise to Mexico or Hawaii trip. Mr. Campos took this idea to the administration who had several questions and concerns for him including money, chaperones etc. He will be looking into a few more options that might satisfy the administrations questions and concerns.

o       It was proposed that the band have a big trip like this ever 4 years which will ensure each band member a big trip. This was agreeable to all the members. It may be necessary to push the big trip to the next year for more planning.
