  • The district mandates we have 1 chaperone for 10 students. For 318 students, we need 32 paying chaperones.

    Important note: Chaperoning trips is a 100% on duty job, from the moment we show up to school on December 28th to when all students are picked up from the airport on January 2nd. This is not a trip where a parent should be chaperoning for the first time.

    The booster presidents, our volunteer coordinators, and band directors will review the interest forms and select the most qualified adults for the job. 

    If the chaperone list is still accepting applicants, an active link will be posted here.

    Chaperone interest form

  • The trailers, Falcon One and Falcon Two will transport students instruments and luggage from school to Pasadena. Additional information will be released at the appropriate time.

  • Please ensure all information is accurate in the travel agency questionnaire, Dietary & Medical Information. Additional information on this topic will be released closer to departure date.

  • Students will room with other students. Four people per hotel room.
    Additional information on room selection be shared closer to departure date. Genders are assigned to separate floors.

  • The travel agency will do their best to assign your group on the same flights. Email the names of the group you want to travel with to torfundraising@timbercreekband.org

  • We will be able to watch our kids perform at Bandfest on December 30th and will be able to spend time with our students at Universal Hollywood.

    We know how special this trip is and completely understand wanting extra time with your student. That said, this is first and foremost a band trip, and students are expected to stay focused and travel with their group. Keeping everyone together helps us stay organized, on time, and most importantly, safe. It also gives the kids a chance to build independence and confidence along the way.

    As much as we’d all love to experience every moment right alongside them, from a logistics standpoint that just won’t be possible. HOWEVER—what we can do is make memories together as Falcon Band Family and cheer loudly for ALL the kids from the sidelines!
