HOW TO FLY LIKE AN ACE !
Here are some things to keep in mind.
1.
Please be sure that you have reviewed our package that stipulates behavior in public places.
Airports and aircraft are public places. Your outstanding behavior will reflect well on our school. Your trip starts at
the airport. I take this opportunity to thank all of you in advance for your excellent behavior.
2.
Get to the airport on time. That means REALLY EARLY.
3. Find the check in counter area for the airline that you are flying.
Check in with our flight management team.
4.
Don’t wander off. If you need something of importance talk to your flight management team.
5.
If a member of the flight management team asks you to do something…DO IT!
Follow all instructions and remember: It is not easy moving lots of people through an airport.
6.
These are commercial flights. All seats have been assigned along time ago.
It’s not a bus …It’s an aircraft. Changing seats is not permitted. An anecdote offered by Mr. Flannery:
“A couple of years ago I was flying to Montreal on business. One of my flights out of
DCA had a group of high school students from somewhere in the Midwest. There were
Around 40 of them. When we got on the plane 4 or 5 of these young people decided
that they wanted to sit next to their buddies, so they changed seats.
The flight manifest had changed ( as they all are apt to do) at the last minute, so the flight attendant needed
to check someone’s seat assignment not related to the group of students.
This of course created a “domino effect” throughout the cabin of the aircraft. Chaos ensued.
As a result of this seat swapping, it took an extra 50 minutes to figure out who was actually booked on
the flight and who was supposed to be seated where. At one point , they were uncertain
as to if there were enough seats for everyone booked on the flight. What a drag!”
As you know, aircraft are hard enough to get off on time without that kind of hassle. Look at it as an
opportunity to perhaps meet someone new in the band , or become closer acquainted with someone else.
7.
I would suggest that you bring a book or a magazine to read on flight.
It’s ok to bring your music player (mp3, etc) There are strict FAA regulations as to when any
electronic devices may be used. Pay attention to the announcements regarding digital equipment on the
aircraft.
8.
You are permitted one piece of carry on luggage. It must conform with FAA regulations and
Any additional rules imposed by the airline. Ask your folks what they think might be suitable.
9.
Flight crew personnel and flight attendants are there for our safety. You need to remember that they
are there to help us. They are not waiters or waitresses. They are always to be addressed and
treated with the utmost of respect. Be nice to them and they will be nice to you.
10. Be absolutely certain that your luggage and instrument(s) are marked in numerous location with your name ,
address, phone number. In addition must all be marked GONZAGA COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL BAND.
11. Airports and aircraft are ULTRA HIGH SECURITY ZONES. It is very important that you
don’t do or say anything that may be perceived as disruptive or a threat to security. FAA
authorities take security matters extremely seriously. They consider disruption as a security threat.
SOME FAA TIPS FOR AIR TRAVELERS.
Air travelers may now carry liquids, gels and aerosols in their carry-on bag when going through security checkpoints.
With certain exceptions for prescription and over-the-counter medicines, baby formula, breast milk, and juice, and other essential
liquids, gels, and aerosols, the following rules apply to all liquids, gels, and aerosols you want to carry through a security checkpoint.
All liquids, gels and aerosols must be in three-ounce or smaller containers. Larger containers that are half-full or toothpaste
tubes rolled up are not allowed. Each container must be three ounces or smaller.
All liquids, gels and aerosols must be placed in a single, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag. Gallon size bags or bags that
are not zip-top such as fold-over sandwich bags are not allowed. Each traveler can use only one, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic
bag.
Each traveler must remove their quart-sized plastic, zip-top bag from their carry-on and place it in a bin or on the conveyor
belt for X-ray screening. X-raying separately will allow TSA security officers to more easily examine the declared items.
Please keep in mind that these rules were developed after extensive research and
understanding of current threats. They are intended to help air travelers bring essential toiletries and other liquids, gels and aerosols for
short trips. If you need larger amounts of liquids, gels and aerosols such as toothpaste or shampoo, please place them in your luggage
and check them with your airline.
To ensure the health and welfare of certain air travelers, in the absence of suspicious activity or items, greater than 3 ounces of the
following liquids, gels and aerosols are permitted through the security checkpoint in reasonable quantities for the duration of your
itinerary (all exceptions must be presented to the security officer in front of the checkpoint):
•
•
•
•
•
All prescription and over-the-counter medications (liquids, gels, and aerosols) including KY jelly, eye drops, and saline
solution for medical purposes;
Liquids including water, juice, or liquid nutrition or gels for passengers with a disability or medical condition;
Life-support and life-sustaining liquids such as bone marrow, blood products, and transplant organs;
Items used to augment the body for medical or cosmetic reasons such as mastectomy products, prosthetic breasts, bras or
shells containing gels, saline solution, or other liquids; and,
Gels or frozen liquids needed to cool disability or medically related items used by persons with disabilities or medical
conditions.
You are allowed reasonable amounts over 3 ounces of the items above in your carry-on baggage, but you will need to perform the
following:
1.
2.
3.
Separate these items from the liquids, gels, and aerosols in your quart-size and zip-top bag.
Declare you have the items to one of our Security Officers at the security checkpoint.
Present these items for additional inspection once reaching the X-ray. These items are subject to additional screening.
We have also taken steps to ensure the security boarding areas after you pass through our security checkpoints. Therefore, any liquid,
gel, or aerosol purchased (such as coffee or soda) in the secure area after you process through a security checkpoint is allowed aboard
your plane.
Before you fly, understand everything you can and cannot bring when you travel by air by reading our list of permitted and prohibited
items.
Travel Tips To Make Your Screening Experience Hassle-free
VALVE OIL / CORK GREESE / ALL LIQUID = IN YOUR CHECKED BAG
•
•
•
The secret to getting through security smoothly is to de-clutter your carry-on bag. This lets our Transportation Security
Officers get a clear, uncomplicated X-ray image of your carry-on.
When possible, keep packing liquids in checked baggage. You will get through security faster.
Limit quantities to what is needed for the duration of the flight.
The ban on liquids, aerosols and gels was implemented on August 10 after a terrorist plot was foiled. Since then, experts from around
the government, including the FBI and our national labs have analyzed the information we now have and have conducted extensive
explosives testing to get a better understanding of this specific threat. These changes are intended to enhance security and balance
human needs because we have a better understanding of the threat and security risks associated with liquids, aerosols and gels.
In addition, TSA will be enhancing security measures throughout the airport environment – more random
screening of employees, additional canine patrols, stronger air cargo security measures, more rigorous identity
verification, deploying more trained security officers in bomb appraisal, and screening by observation
techniques.
Transporting Musical Instruments
You may bring musical instruments as carry-on or as checked baggage. To help
passengers who are traveling with instruments, we partnered with musical
organizations around the country to understand the challenges of transporting musical
instruments, and we recommend the following.
Check with your airline prior to your flight to ensure your instrument meets the size
requirements for their aircraft.
Pack brass instruments in your checked baggage.
Bring your stringed instruments, within carrier size limitations, as carry-on items.
If you have an instrument in your checked baggage, include short written instructions,
where a security officer will notice them, for handling and repacking your instrument.
Make sure these instructions are very clear and understandable to someone with no
musical background.
Carrying Instruments Through Screening Checkpoints
You may carry one (1) musical instrument in addition to 1 carry-on and 1 personal item through the screening checkpoint. This is a
TSA Screening Policy. Airlines may or may not allow the additional carry-on item on their aircraft. Please check with your
airline before you arrive at the airport.
Security officers must x-ray or physically screen your instrument before it can be transported on an aircraft.
Security officers will handle musical instruments very carefully and will allow you to be as involved as possible in any physical
screening.
If security officers cannot clear the instrument through the security checkpoint as a carry-on item, you should transport the instrument
and checked baggage instead.
Instruments as Checked Baggage
You may bring musical instruments as checked baggage as long as they fit within the size and weight limitations of the airline you are
taking.
We encourage you to stay with your instrument while security officers screen it to make sure it is repacked properly.
Owners should be present when an instrument is removed from its case for screening. For this reason, musicians
are advised to add at least 30 minutes to the airline's recommended arrival window when checking their
instruments.
Some Tips for Safe Travel With Batteries
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Keep batteries and equipment with you, or in carry-on baggage - not in your checked baggage! In the cabin, flight crew can
better monitor conditions, and have access to the batteries or device if a fire does occur.
Buy batteries from reputable sources and only use batteries approved for your device – avoid counterfeits! A counterfeit
battery is more likely to cause a fire in your equipment – costing you more in the long run, and compromising safety.
Look for the mark of an independent testing or standards organization, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
Do not carry recalled or damaged batteries on aircraft. Check battery recall information at the manufacturer's website, or at
the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Only charge batteries which you are sure are rechargeable! Non-rechargeable batteries are not designed for recharging, and
become hazardous if placed in a battery charger. A non-rechargeable battery placed in a charger may overheat or cause
damage later.
Only use a charger compatible with your rechargeable battery – don’t mix and match!
If original packaging is not available for spare batteries, effectively insulate battery terminals by isolating the batteries from
contact with other batteries and metal. Do not permit a loose battery to come in contact with metal objects, such as coins,
keys, or jewelry.
Place each battery in its own protective case, plastic bag, or package, or place tape across the battery's contacts to isolate
terminals. Isolating terminals prevents short-circuiting.
Take steps to prevent crushing, puncturing, or putting a high degree of pressure on the battery, as this can cause an internal
short-circuit, resulting in overheating.
If you must carry a battery-powered device in any baggage, package it to prevent inadvertent activation. For instance, you
should pack a cordless power tool in a protective case, with a trigger lock engaged. If there is an on-off switch or a safety
switch, tape it in the "off" position.
Lithium Batteries: Safety and Security
Lithium-ion batteries, often found in laptop computers, differ from primary lithium batteries,
which are often used in cameras. Some newer AA-size batteries are also primary lithium.
While there is no explosion hazard associated with either kind of battery, the Federal Aviation
Administration has studied fire hazards associated with both primary and lithium-ion cells,
and their extensive research is publicly available. As a result of this research, the FAA no
longer allows large, palletized shipments of these batteries to be transported as cargo on
passenger aircraft.
The research also shows that an explosion will not result from shorting or damaging either
lithium-ion or primary lithium batteries. Both are, however, extremely flammable. Primary
lithium batteries cannot be extinguished with firefighting agents normally carried on aircraft,
whereas lithium-ion batteries are easily extinguished by most common extinguishing agents, including those carried on board
commercial aircraft.
TSA has and will continue to work closely with the FAA on potential aviation safety and security issues, and TSA security officers are
thoroughly and continually trained to find explosive threats. TSA does not have plans to change security regulations for electronic
devices powered by lithium batteries.

SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN PICKING UP STUDENTS AT THE AIRPORT
We would suggest that you call the airline or check on line and confirm the arrival time of our flight.
Phone numbers are located at the front of this book.
Do not try to park in the loading zone. You will loose your car, get a ticket or both.
FAA Regulations no longer allow you to meet us at the gate. Our official
check out area is the
baggage claim area. The terminal monitors will supply you with the baggage claim area and belt
number. However, this changes frequently. So, we would suggest you check the monitors frequently.
Please remember that students need to check out with our team before leaving the airport. We thank
you for patience in this part of the procedure.
We thank you in advance for being on time to collect your “Weary Traveler”. Flight Captains and
Leaders cannot leave until all students have checked out
***Procedural note***
When we arrive at BWI, proceed to the baggage claim area. Parents should read the pick up instructions
included in this booklet.
Leaders should be prepared to hang on for a little after everyone else. Turn in your communications equipment
and then you will be released.
Departmental Festival Performance Tour 2008
“The traveling musical community”
I.
SAFETY…REGULATIONS…DOCUMENTATION
The safety of each traveler, student and adult, is of the utmost importance to us. Although it is
impossible to foresee every mishap, we will make every effort ( and then some) to be prepared to act
swiftly and diligently should an emergency arise. Additionally, there are many sets of rules and
regulations that will be imposed on each student so as to head off any potential and avoidable problem.
Therefore, we would offer the following:
Documents and Medical information
These documents will remain in the possession of Mr. Flannery or an appointed adult chaperone at all
times. These materials will not be available to students.
NOTE: At all theme parks these documents are left at the main AID STATION upon entering the park.
At that time the group is registered as being in the park. The AID STATION therefore has the
information it needs should an emergency arise. The AID STATION is visited once every 30 – 60
minutes throughout the day by the Director or an appointed adult chaperone.
RULES AND REGULATIONS at a glance…
SOME HELPFUL HINTS
1. When in doubt…DON’T ! If you are unsure…Ask ( Mr. Flannery or a chaperone) If you
want to remember this trip favorably you must learn to WORK TOGETHER .
2. At all times show courtesy and consideration for all others traveling with you. You are
important, but … so is everyone else.
3. Chaperones are present to help, not just to make life miserable for you. Consult them
and cooperate with them. Keep chaperones informed as to what you are doing. Don’t
be afraid to talk to your chaperone or your Director. We are there to help you have a
great experience.
4. HELP EACH OTHER ! LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER ! GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO
DO A GOOD TURN FOR SOMEONE EACH DAY ! ELIMINATE CLIQUES ! This trip is
a great opportunity to expand your circle of friends.
5. BE ON TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That means… BE EARLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6. Plan ahead.
7. Make every effort to sleep at the proper time. You need your rest. ( It has already
been observed that some of us get grouchy when denied proper rest) Also, your ability
to perform is DIRECTLY RELATED to your physical condition. We owe it to ourselves,
our performing groups and our school to be able to give our very best in performance.
You (and the director) will enjoy this trip much more if you get your rest.
8. Eat properly. Thou shalt not live on junk food alone.
9. Come to Mr. Flannery or one of your chaperones immediately if you have a problem.
This is especially important in cases of illness of any type.
10. Remember that an itinerary this complex is subject to change for many reasons. Be
patient. When you travel you must learn to “roll with the punches”. Listen carefully to
instructions at each new destination.
GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS
1. All rules and regulations prescribed in the Gonzaga College High School Student Handbook and the
Gonzaga Music Department Tour documentation are to be followed.
You are representing our school. Therefore it is expected of ALL STUDENTS that they will display

PLACES. You are young adults and nothing less is expected of your behavior. Good manners are always
“in” and remain “ cool” no matter where you travel.
2. Smoking or use of tobacco products by students will not be allowed.
3. As Gonzaga College High School students on a school-sponsored and supervised
Trip , alcoholic beverages or drugs of any kind are absolutely prohibited.

Violation of this rule will result in a quick, lonely and expensive trip home.
4. Students are not to enter the rooms of persons outside of the Gonzaga Music Department traveling

10. No fighting or rough-housing at any time. Although we have all of your medical information, we
would prefer not to have to use it.
11. Make Mr. Flannery aware of any medication you are taking. Inform Mr. Flannery of any changes in

16. When group activities or tours are scheduled the entire group will participate.
17. Remember: Retail theft ( shoplifting) is a very serious crime and in Orlando the Orange County
Sheriff will prosecute minors as adults… and you will get caught. Trust me gentlemen …it is not
worth it. The following is from the Director’s manual: “ Due to the increasing shoplifting at
Orlando area theme parks and attractions, please warn your students that when caught, they will be
prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Orlando has taken a tough stance on this problem and is
no longer dropping charges on students from out of state or releasing them to the Director’s
recognizance. Any student involved in retail theft will be required to return to Orlando for a court
appearance.
VIOLATIONS OF THE ABOVE
REGULATIONS WILL REQUIRE
SUSPENSION OF PARTICIPATION
IN MUSIC DEPARTMENT ACTIVITIES,
CONSEQUENCES FROM GONZAGA ADMINISTRATION, AND
WILL RESULT
IN A QUICK, LONELY AND EXPENSIVE
TRIP HOME .
HOTEL INSTRUCTIONS
18. All rooms will be quad occupancy. It is important that you work hard to share and play nice in this
small space. Get together with your roommates before leaving to decide who will bring common items
(i.e. hair dryer, stuff like that) Less “ junk” will make your room a better place to sleep. You will also
need to decide who will carry the one key that will be given to each room.
19. Rooms assignments are made in January and cannot be changed. You will have the opportunity to
sign up with your buddies. You will show great character in learning to deal with trying situations
should one arise. Consult with a chaperone if you have a problem with your room.
20. At curfew time you are to be in your own room. No room switching is permitted. After curfew time
no one is to enter your room except a chaperone and only if necessary.
21. Plan ahead so that… 30 minutes after curfew time---LIGHTS OUT ! And ALL WILL BE QUIET. This
include tapes, radios, cd’s TV and human voices.
22. Telephones are available for you to call between rooms only. Any calls outside the hotel, including
local and long distance, must be made from a pay telephone. Emergency calls to the hotel will be
directed to Mr. Flannery’s room. No calls are to be made after curfew.
23. There will be no pay-per-view movies available in the rooms.
24. Do not damage your hotel room in any manner. Do not take towels or other souvenirs from your
room. You will be held responsible for any damage
( accidental or otherwise) or misplaced items from your room.
25. Do not drop or throw anything from hotel rooms or balconies. If you have a room with a balcony do
not goof around out there. EVER!!!
26. Do not play your instruments in the hotel room.
27. Tape players, CD players, radios TV, etc. should not should not be heard outside of your room at any
time, even if the door is open. TURN IT DOWN !
28. Our hotel will have many guests, some of which might be other student groups. Out of courtesy to all
others in the hotel, and because you are considerate people, you will not make noise which might
disturb others at any time. We are sure that you do not want to be blamed for something any other
group would do. Please do not let the reverse be true either.
29. It is very important that Mr. Flannery is not called by the hotel manager or the house detective
because of problems with students from Gonzaga. House detectives and security personnel are on
duty at all times to ensure the safety and security of you and all hotel guests.
30. Keep your room locked at all times. Know who has the key. Safeguard and keep track of all of your
belongings at all times and help others in your room do the same.
31. Anything you order to be delivered to your room (i.e. pizza) must be paid for by you and your
roommates. Nothing is to be delivered to your room after curfew. If you order something after
curfew, it will become the property of Mr. Flannery – AFTER you have paid for it. Thanks !
32. Your conduct is always important. You are constantly being seen and evaluated by someone when
you are in public. Restaurants , hotels , at the Theme parks, at the performance festival etc. You are
expected to act properly at ALL TIMES .
Some friendly and gentle advice:
Before you do or say anything, think through the possible consequences to those involved and yourself.
Will others suffer or be hurt as a result of your actions ? Could you possibly jeopardize the reputation
of Gonzaga College High School or your music program ? Could you force Mr. Flannery into a difficult yet
necessary decision ?
Think before acting !!!
Remember: The Fun is built in to the experience.
It is my wish that all of you have a great time, a thrill a minute - and remember…
PLAY YOUR BEST !!!
