SUMMARY:*Cancelled* US Coast Guard Band\, Field Trip

Students will enjoy learning and listening to great music performed by world-class musicians in this interactive presentation. \nWho: ACHEV Students PK-8th grade + one parent chaperone per family.   Please do not bring any younger or older siblings. ****Update 2/18/26\, they will permit us to bring High School students \nCost: Free!!  They appreciate donations. https://toarts.org/programs/kids-and-the-arts/ \nThere are a lot of important details to be aware of:\n\nI (Bonnie) have signed the below statement on behalf of all attendees.  If you are not comfortable agreeing with this\, you should not attend this field trip.\n\n“By attending this field trip\, you are giving permission to TOArts to take group and possibly up-close pictures of students to use for donor relations and marketing. You additionally take responsibility to ensure that the parents of students attending are aware that their kids may be photographed. We understand that some families choose not to have their kids photographed. We have no control over excluding such children.”\n\n\nSHOW INFORMATION\n\nThe performance starts at 10am on March 17\, 2026.\nPlease plan to arrive an hour before showtime and be patient if you have to wait in line or on the bus for a little while as there will be a large number of schools attending this performance.\nThe length of the performance is 60 minutes.\n\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU ARRIVE\n\nEveryone will be going through security\, including students.\nNo outside food or drink. (small plastic water bottles for students who absolutely need it are acceptable)\nMetal water bottles will absolutely not be allowed.\nNo oversized backpacks unless required for students needing ADA support (let us know in advance if needing a backpack).\nWe cannot entertain requests for specific seats. We make every effort to ensure classes are seated together. Students may relocate within their assigned block of seats. Wheelchairs and other needs are taken into consideration.\n(Note From Bonnie) – weapons/knives are also not allowed.  They didn’t mention that in the school field trip email\, I presume because that is already a rule at every brick and mortar school\, but some of our homeschooled kids carry around pocket knives and things like that and we don’t really give it a second thought.  Make sure you and your kids leave all those sorts of things in the car.  Only bring what you need.  You can also look at their rules here (though some things may not apply in our situation) https://bapacthousandoaks.com/patron-safety\n\n\nTHEATRE ETIQUETTE\n\nFor your convenience and to prepare the students for a fantastic experience\, we have put together a Theatre Etiquette Flyer  which you can find attached\, we request you review with your classrooms a few times before the show to ensure a pleasant experience for all students.\nWe understand that it is hard for kids to sit still for an hour. However\, we request that you speak to your students in advance about the importance of sitting as still and as quietly as possible to respect the performers. We ask that you remove any disruptive student(s) from the theatre. We have a cry room\, which can be used for their comfort and yours so that they can watch the show without being a distraction. One of our ambassadors can help direct you to this room if needed.\n\n\nOur kids are our next generation of theatergoers\, patrons\, and artists. We appreciate you making the commitment to the arts in your classroom!\nAFTER THE SHOW\n\nDue to the urgency to clear the parking lot and buses in a timely manner following the performance\, we are unable to accommodate requests for students to stay and enjoy a sack lunch on our property. If you wish to enjoy lunch at a nearby park\, a map and directions to local neighborhood parks where you might be able to enjoy lunch can be found here.\n\n\n\nSigning Up for This Field Trip:\n\n\nSign Up on the Google Doc\, deadline February 15\, 2026. Extended to March 1st\n\nWe have reserved 35 seats.  If it is full\, please sign up on the waitlist.  There is always a good chance that someone will need to cancel\, or someone will turn up ill\, and we do not want to have any empty seats.\nIf anyone has special needs (wheelchair access\, mobility\, sensory or any other needs) we need to know about it by February 15th or sooner if possible.  You can contact Bonnie personally (805-504-6457\, bonnieadair@verizon.net) if you have special needs\, and I will inform the coordinator at the Arts Center.\n\n  \n
