Thank you for the replies. They are not performing until Saturday so they will be going in as guest the first day. No they are not going to check in to the hotel until 11pm that night. Yes, it is crazy. They are going to school on Thursday and leaving from school at 3pm. They will stop one time for dinner. Per our band director they will sleep on the bus and arrive at MK at 9am the next morning. They will eat breakfast in the park and will stay at MK until fireworks are finished. The poor kids will be wearing the same clothing for 2 days with hardly any rest. This is why my DD and I are flying. She can get some sleep, take a shower and change clothing. He did this to us two years ago when we went to New York. We did fly that time but we left at 3 am and got to our room at 1am. We then we're on the tour bus at 8 am. Everyone was so tired they didn't really enjoy the whole trip.
