Here is a statement concerning our Band Trip Refunds:
At this time, Mr. Voltz has exhausted all efforts in getting a full refund. The company
is offering to refund $10,000.00, but they plan to keep $7,240.00. Mr Voltz and I do not feel this is a sufficient refund,
and at this point Mr. Voltz has passed all information and contact information over to me. Thus, I am now trying to
talk to the President of the travel company as well as, the hotel manager and someone at Disney. We are going
to continue to work on this and have more information but please understand that I am working on it and Mr. Voltz made a great
attempt in working with the travel company.

Message from the Principal
Parents,
First let me apologize for my poor response time on my part to your concerns regarding the
Pre-UIL Band Concert on Tuesday night. I so appreciate your active involvement with your children, and applaud
your support of the band program.
As far as the events that took place on Tuesday evening, the administration has investigated
the events. Although I cannot communicate our findings, I can tell you that Mr. Voltz will serve as the "interim" band director
for the remainder of the year.
It is my hope that parents, band members and directors will continue to work together towards
the goal of Sweepstakes.
Thank you for all of your communications.
Sincerely,
Jeff A. Springer
