* In order to make this trip happen, the Yorktown Band Boosters will have financial obligations with our travel agent at the beginning of January. Due to the holiday timing, we are granting a “no questions asked” extension for the deposit until the end of January for families who need more time. If you are able to submit the deposit by TBD, however, we ask that you do so.

Cost should not be a barrier to participation, however students must have a zero balance on their financial statements with the band in order to be eligible for the trip. For assistance or alternate arrangements, please contact Mr. Witkowski.

Pay by Check (No fees)
