LVW MACBDA and Music City Tour Packing List

7/1/2013

0 Comments

 
What to Bring
  • Sleeping bag and pillow
  • Air mattress (optional)
  • ONE suitcase and ONE small carry-on bag for inside the bus – LABELED WITH NAME, ADDRESS, AND NAME OF SCHOOL
  • A small draw-string bag or backpack will be very useful for days when we are sightseeing for storing cash, hats, cameras, etc.
  • Movies (DVD) for on the bus – Disney movies, Zorro, The Princess Bride, the usual! R-rated movies are NOT acceptable.
  • All personal items as needed (towel, soap and shampoo, several changes of clothes, DEODERANT, etc.)
  • BLACK SHOES AND SOCKS (several pairs), Black A4 T-SHIRTS (two to several), CLEAN BLACK GLOVES, BLACK SHORTS FOR UNDER THE UNIFORM, GUARD APPAREL, ETC. (Note we have FIVE parades and FOUR field shows this trip!)
  • Instruments, dot books, music, reeds, oils, etc. – CASES MUST BE LABELED AS INDICATED ABOVE
  • Water jugs, sunscreen, sunglasses, comfortable marching shoes, hats, etc.
  • Swimming suit and towel
  • Spending money for souvenirs – We will have time to shop at Navy Pier in Chicago; the Cherry Festival grounds in Traverse City; A day at Cedar Point Amusement Park in Ohio; and several tourist stops in the Nashville area. In addition, the band members will need to provide for themselves a few meals (3 or 4 - see complete Tour Itinerary in a separate post) while on the trip. They will also want some spending money for other small items when we stop at rest areas, such as soda, chips, trinkets, and the like. We will also be selling juices, water, and Gatorade on the bus for either $.50 or $1 or so. It is hard to tell you how much money to bring, but figure souvenir t-shirts or sweatshirts are between $10 and $40, and the meals could average $10 - $15 each. It is up to you how much to bring. You may want to look into travelers checks in addition to cash.


We will also plan on stopping at a laundromat at some point in the tour, possibly after returning from Nashville, so it isn't necessary to pack clothes for all 11 days!  Plan on packing for about 7 or 8 days instead.
