HOW To Pack:

Checked Luggage CHECKING IN & PAYING ONLINE - WWW.DELTA.COM

Within 24 hours of your departure, you can tell Delta how many bags you will check and pay any fees quickly and easily online. That means

one less thing you will have to do at the airport. When you arrive at the airport, you can drop off your checked baggage at the nearest baggage

drop, marked with red "Baggage Drop" signage, or curbside check-in station (available within 6 hours of departure time). You may also check

your bags at the airport kiosk, ticket counter, or curbside.

If your bag exceeds weight or size limits, please review the Additional, Overweight, and Oversized Baggage section. You may also carry on one bag

and one small personal item at no charge. Visit our Carry-on Baggage section for more information. More restrictive baggage rules apply on some

flights operated by our Codeshare partners. (www.delta.com)

Fees for the first and second checked bags vary based on your flight destination. We've outlined them all here.

Weight limit: 50 lbs. (23 kg)

Size limit: 62 inches (157 cm) when you total length+width+height

Baggage charge: First bag is $25 USD, Second bag is $40 USD

Carryon Luggage

One bag. One item. No charge.

We know, you’ve probably heard it before, but just in case you need a reminder: you’re allowed one carry-on bag and one personal item at no

extra charge. Just make sure they fit into the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you. Cram sessions are not pretty — and they slow things

down. WHAT EXACTLY IS ALLOWED?

Approved Personal Items

1 purse, briefcase, camera bag or diaper bag

or 1 laptop computer (computers cannot be checked)

or 1 item of a similar or smaller size to those listed above

Additional Approved Items

The following items do not count as personal items (they’re freebies):

A jacket or umbrella

Food or drink purchased after clearing the security checkpoint

Duty-free merchandise

Special items like strollers, child restraint seats or assistive devices such as wheelchairs or crutches

It won’t fit. Three words you don’t want to hear when trying to board. To avoid delays and possible checked bag fees, follow these size requirements:

Baggage may not exceed 45 linear inches (or 114 cm) in combined length, width and height, including any handles and wheels

Baggage must fit easily in the Carry-on Baggage Check (approximately 22" x 14" x 9" or 56 x 35 x 23 cm), which is located near the

check-in counters

Passengers traveling on Delta Connection flights, and only those flights with fifty (50) seats or less, are only permitted to carry personal items on

board the aircraft due to limited overhead space. Personal items must be able to fit securely under the seat in front of the passenger. All carry-on

bags within Delta's size restrictions will be gate checked, free of charge, during the boarding process and returned upon deplaning. Please ensure

that a pink Gate Claim/Planeside tag is securely attached to the carry-on item. Assistive devices are not subject to this restriction.

If you need information about items such as knitting needles or razors, please consult the TSA website.

3-1-1 Liquids Rule

You are allowed to bring one small bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes through the checkpoint. These are limited to 3.4 ounces or less

per container. Consolidating these containers in the small bag separate from your carry-on baggage enables TSA officers to screen them quickly.

3-1-1 for carry-ons. Liquids, gels, aerosols, creams and pastes must be 3.4 ounces (100ml) or less per container; must be in 1 quart-sized, clear,

plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. The bag limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring.

Be prepared. Each time a TSA officer stops to physically screen a carry-on bag, it slows down the line. Practicing the 3-1-1 rule will facilitate the

checkpoint experience.

Declare larger liquids. Medications, baby formula/food and breast milk are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces, and they don’t

have to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint. TSA officers may need to open them for additional screening.

If in doubt, put your liquids, gels, aerosols, creams and pastes in checked baggage.

Inbound international flights

You may now carry liquids more than 100 mL in your carry-on bag if:

You are traveling internationally into the United States with a connecting flight;

they are in transparent containers;

you bought them at a duty-free shop, and

the store packed them in a secure, tamper-evident bag.

If your liquids are not in a secure, tamper-evident bag, you must pack them in your checked bag.

If the liquids alarm during screening, we will need to screen them further.Key Travel Ti

WHAT To Pack: ATTIRE:

For travel days, Thursday and Sunday, you are asked to wear

jeans and your Concert Choir pullover. This helps us identify

you in the airports, represents our group with pride, and

lessens the need to pack additional clothing for a day!!

For Friday, you will need to dress “sophisticated casual.” This

means you should look classy and professional, but be able to make it through the long day. Ladies – we

suggest not wearing high heels for these days! Also keep in mind that on Friday, we will robe up (see robe

attire below). Also, at the end of Friday’s event, we will head straight to the Balboa Pier!

For Saturday, we will be at Universal Studios all day! Dress comfortably for walking and play – but always

keep it appropriate! Do not wear shoes that will give you blisters. Keep in mind rides, etc.

There should be enough time to swim at the hotel on two evenings. Bring your swimsuits if you wish!

ROBE ATTIRE

LADIES: Skirts or dresses with tan/nude legs. Please remember close toed black FLATS.

Also, no large hair accessories or earrings while robed.

GENTLEMEN: Black dress pants, black dress socks, black dress shoes. No exceptions.

STUDENTS WILL BE PACKING THEIR OWN ROBES IN THEIR SUITCASE! LEAVE ROOM!

CELL PHONES/ELECTRONIC DEVICES:

These items are all allowed on the trip, but must always be used appropriately. Students are responsible for

their own items. We cannot be held responsible for lost, damaged or stolen devices.

Cell phones will be collected for performance and rehearsal venues, but promptly returned for each break so

you can snap photos, text, Tweet and Snapchat to your hearts delight.

MONEY:

Breakfast is provided each morning, but students are responsible for their own lunch and dinner costs.

Money for shopping, souvenirs/keepsakes is up to family discretion.

WHAT NOT TO BRING:

Drugs, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, clothing with offensive logos or language, or anything else in violation of

regular school policy… If you can’t bring it or wear it to school, you can’t bring it or wear it on our trip.

RULES of BEHAVIOR: Code of Conduct You are participating in this festival as individual musicians, as

representatives of Roosevelt High School and as representatives of

Sioux Falls, SD. It is very important that your conduct be a credit to

you and our school. For this reason, the following regulations will be

in effect:

Smoking or use of tobacco in any form is PROHIBITED.

NO possession or use of alcoholic beverages or drugs.

Use respectful language!

Everyone will be expected to be in their own rooms at announced

curfew times after we return to the hotel each working evening, with

lights out and quiet at the time designated by directors/chaperones. It

is essential that all musicians have a good night’s rest to insure a

good rehearsal, performance and behavior.

No boys in girls’ rooms and no girls in boys’ rooms. PERIOD.

Damage to hotel property will not be tolerated. Any costs

associated with damage will be paid by student/family.

Appropriate behavior is also expected on the flights and the motor

coach. Students are to abide by airline and bus safety rules.

It is expected that you will take pride in your own behavior and that

of your fellow students. Students who break these rules will be

sent home at their expense – and in our case, because we have no

extra chaperones to send with them, parents will be called to

come and get them. Travel arrangements and cost of both parent

and student is the responsibility of the family. This is the District

Activity Code and will be enforced.
