Macy's 2000 Info

Here’s the scoop on the ‘Topper Band’s triumphant return to the Big Apple for Thanksgiving, 2000. We are staying on the island of Manhattan this time, which costs more, but saves us three hours on a bus every day we’re there. Our hotel is the Marriott at the foot of the World Trade Center. This is a rough idea of the trip. For everyone planning on going on the trip, we will require a deposit by January 15, 2000. The deposit is non-refundable, because it will be used to purchase the Broadway theatre ticket. Individuals can sell the ticket to someone else if your plans change.

Rough Itinerary:

Monday, November 20th, depart, 10PM on Young Coaches
Tuesday, November 21st, arrive, check in, Italian dinner, evening performance of either Lion King or

     With us starting on this one year in advance, many small parts of the trip can change. Basically, we are going to include all transportation, housing, one-two meals each day, Broadway ticket, Music Hall ticket, Statue of Liberty ticket, World Trade Center ticket, and all taxes and gratuities. Cost are subject to some change as the trip evolves, but should not vary more than $20 from this rate. Those interested in the joys of chaperoning should sign up as a chaperone. We will pick chaperones in February and notify those selected by March. Successful past experience as a chaperone will be the deciding factor in choosing these very important people. Chaperones will travel at a reduced rate. Chaperones must room with a fellow chaperone, mixed in with the rooms on the student floors of the hotel.
