I received a question about booking flights to Chicago, and thought I should clarify this point:

We have a travel agent, Laurie deVillers (who is also a member of the Northshore Concert Band), working on our behalf to research and secure the best fares for us to Chicago next June. We should be hearing from her near the end of this month, and we will share her fares and schedules during rehearsal in September. You will then be presented with choices and can make your own decisions about flights, home stay vs. hotel, sight-seeing options, etc.

Although no WSW members are required to book with Laurie, I think we will find that she will come up with the most economical packages possible. We are trying to do as much of this legwork for you as possible, so please don’t feel that you are responsible to research and book your own flights.
