2. Each room is equipped with a safe for guest use.
3. On Thursday, we will have time to transfer back to the hotel in order to change into more formal attire for The Outsiders
4. Tuxedo wearers will need to wear their tuxedo to Lunch & The Radio City Stage Door Tour on Friday after our Cathedral Performance. Dress wearers will be able to bring a change of clothes via a back-pack.
5. Sechrist Travel is anticipating United and Newark issues to be mitigated come our trip.  A contingency plan will be developed should it be needed.  Since our flights are direct, with no events both arrival and departure d.ays, we have cushion should a plan need to be put into place 

Send-Off Concert:
Mark your calendar for our NYC Performance Tour Send-Off Concert, currently scheduled for May 26th.  This concert will be held at First Christian Church here in Huntsville from 6:00-6:30pm.  This is a wonderful opportunity for non-travelers to come and support our singers before they head off to NYC!  Student call time will be 5:30p.m. in Full Concert Uniforms.
