Did you happen to read the letter sent from our president, Bryan Stevenson. It is quite interesting to learn how CCIS took care of our groups who were traveling during blizzard Jonas. Just one example of many superior features our company offers.
 
This is a great time of year to begin thinking about travel plans for the future. We have a great resource of ideas for your next trip. Our recent partnering with USBands offers a wide variety of performances not only for bands but string and vocal groups as well.
 
Get in touch with me so we can plan your next travel destination.

02/10/16:
>  BJS spoke with Ed from San Antonio.
>  Discussed challenges of the Inaugural Parade and not knowing if they would be invited until the end of November 2016.
>  If they are accepted, BJS suggested making it just a day trip so they overnight trip could be a bigger trip in the Spring.
>  Ed said they can only miss one day of school for a trip in a school year, so if they do Inaugural Parade, that would be their day out of school for a trip that year so they would have to cancel any plans for another trip that Spring.
>  BJS explained that due to the size of their group, we could not plan and have two trips prepared and then cancel the second one in early December if they get invited to DC. He seemed to understand . . .
>  Wanted to talk some more with Brent to see if he has made any decisions about retirement. He will see him tomorrow at an In-Service, so BJS and Ed agreed to speak on Friday, 2/12/16 at 2:45PM.

02/12/16:
>  BJS called Ed.
>  He has no voice and was able to speak with Brent yesterday at In-Service, but did not make any real decisions. He and Brent were getting together again this afternoon, in a few minutes actually, so we decided to continue our discussion on Monday, 02/15/16 at 2.45pm. (DD, I will tell you about his conv with Brent when we next talk).

02/15/16:
>  BJS called school number and LVM - didn't want to call on his cell since it was a holiday. (forgot this when we were making plans for this call). Said I would call again tomorrow at 2.45pm.

02/16/15:
>  BJS made call to cell number and no answer - LVM. Could be out of school due to snow, but I called the cell, so who knows. . . Asked him to give me a call back at his earliest convenience and left the office's toll-free number and my extension.

02/23/16
> DD was able to reach Ed. Discussed(or rather he talked at Dave) about the ins & outs of Mardi Gras. He liked Bryans ideas (as per discussion with Dave the previous day). Will be checking dates this week. Reaffirmed that he is NOT working with any other travel Co. Same number of pax 400+. Bryan, go ahead and explore possibilities of performances with this size group with your contact in New Orleans. Bus to N.O. ? If it checks out with his supt. he is flexible w/dates

02/26/16:
>  BJS wrote - Downingtown, PA to New Orleans = 1,225 miles / 20.5 hrs non-stop.  It can be done by bus, but would take more than 26 hours with stops . . . Is this something they want or is this going to be a trip by plane?
>  Also, please advise as soon as you hear from Ed regarding dates - thanks Dave, BJS.

3/8/16
> DD Had several phone conversations with Ed. Still doesn't have a date.Will call again on Fri.3/11.

3/11/16
> DD  Ed did not pick up,left message

I hope you are enjoying a relaxing and well deserved Summer break, for all too soon the rigors of another marching season and school year will be upon us!
 
Dave has forwarded me the information you received from Musical Celebrations regarding the Inaugural and Cherry Blossom Parades.  I have reviewed these packets and this seems to be pretty much the same information we saw from them last fall and early winter when I flew to Philadelphia to meet with you and Dave in December. As you know, even if you were to purchase the Musical Celebrations Inaugural Parade Package, you are still responsible for securing the actual parade performance and we are all aware that the decision for parade participants will not be made until 3 – 6 weeks following the November election.
 
With the Parade decision not being made until that time, and with a group of your size, it is going to be an extreme challenge trying to find a hotel anywhere in the DC area that will give us 100+ hotel rooms with a cancelation clause that would allow up to pull out in the event your band is not selected for the parade.
 
I also see where Musical Celebrations has shared 2d/1n pricing with you; however, their proposal should raise a red flag when they state that:
                “Most hotels in the DC-metro area will require a minimum stay of three nights during the Presidential Inauguration. If you wish to stay for a shorter length of time, we will do our best to honor your request.               However, we cannot guarantee that your accommodations will be in the vicinity of the District of Columbia.”
 
With this being said, I would suggest you do this trip as a day trip since if you get invited to the Parade, your hotel will end up being an hour-and-a-half or more outside of the city and at that point, you might as well go from home.  You could then have CCIS put together a trip to the destination of your choice in the Spring, for I don’t think your intention was to have a trip to DC be your “big Trip” for the year.
 
I hope you find my insights helpful and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
 
All the best,
Bryan
