Chaperones

To support our students during this trip, the band will have twelve chaperones accompanying them, comprising six males and six females. These chaperones will be with the band throughout their week in Dublin, overseeing the students and assisting them in their preparations for performances. The deadline for Chaperone applications has passed, and all Chaperones have been selected.

Royal Brigade Friends & Family Travel Package

Interested in traveling to Dublin with us to watch the band perform? Bob Rogers Travel has released a Royal Brigade Friends & Family Travel Package. This concurrent trip gives friends and family the opportunity to visit Ireland and watch the Royal Brigade perform, while getting to experience the country and culture on a separate itinerary. It’s a great way to see Ireland and support the Northwest Royal Brigade. Click here for more information.

Financial Assistance and Fundraisers

The Northwest Band Parents believe that any student who wants to travel with the band should be able to do so regardless of financial circumstance. To this end, they will be organizing a number of fundraisers over the coming months to help all students raise money for the trip. In addition, the NWBPO will be offering scholarships to help students and families in need. If you would like to travel with the band but money is tight, please contact Mr. Strohmaier. Scholarships will be handled discreetly and on a case by case basis.
