Final St. Albert/Edmonton Trip DetailsThis post is specifically to give you the particulars of the trip coming up, including locations, procedures and schedules. Please bookmark this for your reference. We need Alberta Health Care Number information on the trip. Students and chaperones can choose to bring their Alberta Health Care Card with them, or they can voluntarily provide their Alberta Health Care Number to Mr. Windsor. Regardless of what you choose, all participants, both students AND chaperones, must complete this form so Mr. Windsor knows what to expect. The purpose of this trip is to get LIVE, In-Person constructive professional music educational feedback and unique musical performance experiences. Although music education is our primary purpose, these trips also offer opportunities for personal and social growth, and we work hard to make sure students have these opportunities in a safe and caring way. Bus Company: Alberta Coach (from Okotoks, AB), two 55-passenger coaches Hotel: Days Inn & Suites West Edmonton (10010 179a St NW, Edmonton, AB T5S 2T1) Festival Performance Venue: Arden Theatre (5 St Anne St, St. Albert, AB T8N 3Z9) Morning Performance Venue: Centre Stage, West Edmonton Mall Evening Activity #1: Ed's Bowling, West Edmonton Mall Evening Activity #2: Dragon's Tale Blacklight Mini-Golf & Crystal Labyrinth Mirror Maze Management, Discipline, and EmergenciesWe have a list of guidelines of expectations that students, teachers and chaperones will have reviewed and are expected to follow. These expectations are in place to manage safety (physical, mental and social) first, and ensure high quality musical experiences second. Please read these expectations here. Communication during the trip is managed primarily through Discord and Email. If you would like to stay up-to-date on the activities of the trip, please join the Discord. If you need to communicate with anyone on the trip, please start by sending Mr. Windsor an email to ensure that communication happens most effectively. In unstructured times, students may be given some open time and space to enjoy some downtime, such as when we are in West Edmonton Mall. In this circumstance the expectation that all students are aware is that they travel in groups of no less than three students (the "double-buddy system"). This means that if an issue were to ever arise for those students when they are not in direct supervision of an adult, there will always be at least two students together while the third gets help. To that end, an adult chaperone will always be available at our designated meeting places to be easily found should such an issue arise. This "double-buddy" system has always been a source of comfort for students, as they know they will always be with a peer, and that help is never far away if it is ever needed. In the unlikely event expectations aren't followed we have a different system of growth than what would normally happen in school, Mr. Windsor calls a "3 Opportunities" system.
