Action List that All Participants need to do before FRIDAY, APRIL 13th:
1. Drop Off or Email a Copy of the First Page of your Passport:
In order for the tour company to correctly ticket each participant, we will need a copy of the first page of your passport where your photo and the expiration date are. If the ticket and passport name do not match, you will be denied boarding.During the trip, the orchestra will also have a copy on hand in case you lose your passport. Please make sure that your passport does not expire before 6 months after the date of departure from Italy. If your passport expires on or before January 21, 2019, YOU MUST RENEW YOUR PASSPORT, otherwise you will be denied boarding. PYCO will not be responsible or issue a refund for any denial of boarding due to a passport that expires before 6 months of the departure date from Italy.
2. Confirm or Correct your Rooming Assignment:
Please check the list and let us know ONLY if you need us to make a change, by replying to this email. Also let us know if you need a single room. Remember that there is a supplemental charge of $399 for single rooms (for the entire tour).
3. Make Sure Trip Payments are up to Date:
By April 13th, PYCO has to make an important payment to the tour company for the reservation of the buses and hotels. We need each participant to have paid at least the $300 deposit and eight $245 payments ($2,260 out of the total cost of the trip), which means all participants should be caught up to the January payment. Please make sure to be up to date before April 13th. If you think that you will not be able to be caught up to the January payment by April 13th, please contact PYCO as soon as possible.
4. Download or Pick up Tour Music:
The Italy Tour repertoire and all instrumental parts are available for download. You can also email Ethan or Kim at info@pyco.org and request to have an Italy Tour orchestra packet for your instrument ready for you to pick up from the PYCO office, 150 Lake Drive, Wexford, PA 15090.
5. Notify PYCO if you are doing the Land Packet or any other Special Travel Arrangements:
If you are choosing the land packet instead of flying with us, if you have any special travel arrangements with the tour company, or travel arrangements on your own, please NOTIFY PYCO at info@pyco.org with all the details, whether or not you already talked to the tour company directly. In most cases, even though the tour company will handle the details of your special arrangements, PYCO is responsible for the payments to the tour company.
