Chick-fil-A Bowl Details
As you know, our band has been invited to participate in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
Tickets:
The cost of our student tickets has been generously donated. This is an event that most bands travel to Atlanta to participate in as their “band trip” for the year and pay for their individual tickets. We are fortunate that we were invited to participate and our student tickets have been purchased for us.
All parent tickets including for chaperone and equipment crew cost $175.00 each and includes admission to the game, Fanfest, security clearance to enter with the band, and a credential. We understand that this is an expensive game admission. If you would like to chaperone but not attend Fanfest or the game – admission to the parade is free and you would be welcome to either hang out on the bus or could visit the CNN center for lunch/etc? While the students attend the game.
If you buy your tickets through us, the tickets will be blocked together with the student tickets. We will all be sitting in the same general area. Because the ticket requires entrance as a group, all tickets purchased by parents will be handed out after the parade on 1/1/2018. You can purchase your tickets from now until November 17, 2017. Tickets can be paid for by check (made out to the CHS Band Boosters), cash (in an envelope with name of student and name of parent), or online at https://chstrojanband.revtrak.net/trojan-band-trip/
