Here is the itinerary for the upcoming trip to Traverse City. A full post containing student and chaperon information will be available by the end of this week.
Please note that we are asking all LVW members to arrive at FVL on TUESDAY evening by 8:00. Because of the extremely early departure on Wednesday morning (7:00 AM), we felt it was necessary to stay at FVL the night before. The early departure is necessary, since the MACBDA Prelims in Suttons Bay, Michigan begin at 6:00 PM. If chaperons or any other LVW members (such as FVL students who live close to FVL) would like to arrive on Wednesday morning, you must be there by 6:15 AM.
For travel on Wednesday, students MUST have ALL UNIFORM ITEMS in a CARRY ON BAG ON THE BUS. We will not be unpacking luggage until AFTER the show when we arrive at Trinity Lutheran. We will be changing for the show when we arrive at Suttons Bay.
