2014 BOA Grand Nationals Questionnaire
Student Name: _________________________
We are excited to let you know that the Carmel High School Marching Band
Boosters have offered to Home Stay our band for Grand Nationals, in
Indianapolis. Grand Nationals will be held on Thursday, November 12th through
Saturday, Nov 16th. This will not only be a great opportunity to bond with a top
marching band, but we will also be saving the expense of staying at a camp or
another facility.
This will be a great experience for your son or daughter. Carmel s a very nice,
tight-knit community and the Carmel band was the 2012 Grand National
Champions. Visit Carmel Band’s website at www.carmelbands.org to see how
very cool they are! The Carmel Band Boosters understand our parents'
concerns and are more than willing to work with us. They even perform
background checks on their parent volunteers as we do here at WLC.
Please take a few minutes and fill out this questionnaire. The answers will help
us to start the planning process for this trip. Please note that this
questionnaire is confidential and will not be shared with anyone outside the
WLC band board.
Please consider being a chaperone. We need a minimum of 14 chaperones
to be with the students. We could use more then 14 chaperones, so that
we can split the responsibilities up into separate days. This way everyone
has a chance to help out and there is less overburden for all.
Chaperones will be riding the bus with the students.
- You stay at a Hotel, at your own expense
- You will be staying with the students during practices and while they
are at competition.
