Bands Of America Trip

Atlanta, Georgia

Updated 10/23/06!

Georgia Dome

(Available here in Word format)

October 28-29, 2006

 What to bring: Toiletries such as toothbrush, toothpaste, sweet smelling stuff to cover up the “b-o”, a change of clothes, money for food, snacks and souvenirs, pillow, blanket, etc.

 Dress for BOA after we compete should be casual, but “nice”. You will be indoors all day except for our afternoon warm-up.  Make sure you bring money for dinner (at the CNN Center) as well as snacks and souvenirs for the Dome and Six Flags. Remember, concessions food at the stadium and Six Flags will be more expensive than you are used to. BOA is a class act and so are we; REMEMBER TO BE ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR.

 Special Instructions: For parents who are driving, there is parking at the dome at a cost of $10.  Personal Video Cameras will not be allowed in the stadium.

 Patches:  BOA will have available at the Dome, Commemorative 2006 Championship Patches.  The cost is $5 each.  You will be given (free) a Regional Participant segment that goes with the patch for your participation.

 Designated Chaperones: Sandy Nesbitt, Robbie Nesbitt, Sheila Smith, Darlene Austin, Lisa Quinn, Tina Riner, Karen Mitchell

 The parent bus will travel with us to all events on this trip.
