Federal Income Taxes are due on April 18th this
year … but April 15 is an important “deadline” date for many DGN Band families. We have combined multiple topics into one
singular post for your convenience. See
caption headings in RED below.

2016-17 DGN Band
Tour Registration
2016 Walt Disney World Thanksgiving Parade of Bands Tour registrations
are due Friday, April 15. The question
of “late registration” is addressed below.
My family was
unable to attend the meeting. How can we get caught up-to-speed on tour details
and learn how to register?
Step 1: Visit the Tour
Blog …
… and read the current posts that appear on the Blog.
In the left column you will see a link titled “Tour Kick-Off
Meeting Presentation.” Click on that
link to view all of the information that was covered at the meeting.
Our family is
interested in the tour, but not ready to register by April 15th. Are we out of luck, or might we register
late?
Our preference would be to have 100% of our interested
families registered by April 15th because we have to plan the number
of coach buses that will be required to transport the band to Orlando. Once we know our number, we will plan
accordingly. Past that, there is the possibility a student could register
late, but it will be “first come – first served” and contingent on their being
extra seats available on the coach buses.
Said differently, it may be possible
to add the tour after the official registration date, but we cannot guarantee availability.
We’re ready to
sign-up! How do we do it?
If you were at the meeting, you have all the information you
need for registering. If you missed the
meeting, we mailed the packet home to you.
If you can find that packet, you will find the needed registration information.
Alternatively, if you do not have the packet, go to the Tour
Blog and follow the “Tour Registration” link in the left column and you will be
redirected to the BRT site. Create an
account, and register. (If you traveled
with us to NYC last year, you already have an account, and you may simply
log-in to your account to get started.)
