It is important to realize that your son or daughter will be expected to follow the same rules as other students while on the trip. It is unacceptable for students whose parents are going to be afforded special privileges, including but not limited to, attending other events not included in the itinerary, staying out past curfew, having food brought in after curfew, or traveling away from the band with their parents.
