Rome
During Winter Break of the 2023-2024 school year, The Pride of the Tribe has been invited to attend the Rome New Year’s Day Parade in Rome, Italy. This is a tremendous opportunity for our students to experience international travel. Some of the highlights of the trip will be: touring the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Sistine Chapel, not to mention experiencing the food and the culture!

FAQ
Who is eligible to go on this trip?
-students who will be enrolled at Seminole High School during the 2023-2024 school year in the band and guard, as well as chaperones who (1) are approved dividends for the 2023-2024 school year (application opens in August) (2) are 21 years old or older (3) have been fingerprinted through Seminole County Public Schools
How much does this trip cost?
-the approximate cost of this trip is $3700 per person (*there is a chance that this amount could shift, due to unforeseen price changes in things beyond our control, such as the cost of airfare, but it shouldn’t shift much)
How do I submit my payments?
-the absolute easiest way for our treasurers to be able to track your trip payments is for you to print the payment slips form and send in a check with the payment slip in a sealed envelope for your student to deposit in the safe in the band room office. Each person going on the trip needs a payment slip filled out for each trip fee submitted.
Are there any fundraising opportunities available to help pay for this trip?
-Yes! Students and chaperones can sign up for Quarterdays, parents can sign up for after school snow cone sales during the warmer months. Portions of funds raised are allocated directly towards a student’s account.
Can I ask someone to donate directly to my student’s trip fund?
-if a family member or community member would like to donate directly to a student’s trip fund, they can send in cash or a check to the school with the student’s name clearly marked somewhere as well as “trip donation.” There is a letter requesting donations/sponsorships students may print and use, if they’d like to.
