December 31 Itinerary Change

From Charles Iwanaga Itinerary Change - December 31 Our visit to Knott's Berry Farm has been revised to Excursion TBA. Unfortunately, due to some last minute costs being higher than expected. If families have made plans to visit Knott’s Berry Farm may take their child from the practice site on December 31 for the afternoon on their own (transportation & cost). Please note that this was a difficult decision - with the consideration that it's either all or none. We have noted that Itinerary is “subject to change”. We appreciate your patience and understanding on this matter.

From Mr Riggle: December 19 Update

 

 

December 19 Update:

We are now less than a week away from departing on tour...!  Please keep up with updates on the websites as thing are added or changed.

Itinerary Update:  As we mentioned the itinerary is subject to change.   Mr. Iwanaga has been trying to massage the tour budget unfortunately ALL cost are higher than expected - especially the cost of ground transportation.  We thought best not pass along a cost increase but to subtract something out of the itinerary:  Knott's Berry Farm and Genie Plus (performers only) - with much of the itinerary is largely intact.  Please inform other family member/friends who may be planning their time around our activities in the mainland.

Weather Considerations:  The forecast is mostly cloudy between 44 - 66 degrees.  No rain!  Performers may bring an optional "throw away" jacket, sweater or blanket to bring for parade day.  It will be discarded when we reach the parade site and later collected for donation.

Follow the website hasmb.com:  Reminder that the password to the secured page is "roseparade".  Please make sure you complete all forms.  Print the parade medical form to bring on the parade.  Check out the packing list.
