Occasionally it will be necessary to travel from place to place in a bus.  We will use the following policies to insure the safety of our students and instruments.

1.      Boarding and exiting buses -- Students will not board until instructed to do so.  Students will remain on the bus and seated until instructed otherwise.

2.      General conduct -- No foul or abusive language or gestures are permitted.Talking is permitted.  Keep your arms, hands, feet, etc. inside the bus at all times.

YELLING IS NOT PERMITTED.   THIS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS!

3.      Public display of affection – Kissing and holding hands are not permitted.

THE BASIC RULE IS:   NO LOVE ON THE BUS!

4.      Loading of equipment -- All students are responsible to see that their equipment is put in the loading area.

5.      Eating, drinking, etc. -- No eating or drinking of any kind will be allowed because of the normal bus procedures.  Sack lunches are allowed but drinks and food must remain in proper storage at all times.

6.      Electronics -- We are not responsible for stolen items.

7.      Chaperones -- Respect at all times the sponsors who will be going with us on trips. 

8.      Bus riding requirements -- When a bus is provided, all students will ride the bus both ways.  On special occasions, such as return from a band trip, students may be released to a parent or guardian only by a band director.

9.      Band directors may have a seating assignment for all bus trips.
