General guidelines for off-campus travel

1. Regulations in the Student Code of Conduct apply during ALL band-related activities, whether on or off school property.
2. Seating on the bus may be assigned at the discretion of the band directors.
3. To ensure that the driver will get us to our destination safely, remain in your seat while the bus is in motion and refrain from yelling on the bus. Speak so that only the people around you can hear.
4. Personal music devices and gaming devices are allowed on the bus, but headphones/earbuds must be used. The school is not responsible for loss or breakage of your device.
5. Food and snacks are permitted, as long as liquids are in a non-breakable closable container (i.e. bottle of soda with a cap), and trash is disposed of properly. This is a privilege that can be revoked by the Band Director if leaving trash on the bus becomes an issue.
6. Every time we travel, you are representing yourself, your family, our school, our district and our community—ALWAYS do so in a positive way!
7. RULE OF THUMB: If there is any question in your mind as to whether you should do something or not, DON’T DO IT! There is no way we can anticipate every possible scenario, so we ask for ALL to use good judgment and common sense.
