Coe College Band Tour 2005 - Hawaii and Korea

To the Members of the Coe College Touring Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band:

After much planning, we are about to take off on the summer tour for the bands. You have worked hard to get ready for this, and I hope you will enjoy performing for the different audiences and in the variety of situations. I know your music will represent Coe well.

Please mark your name on the cover of this handbook, read through it thoroughly, keep it with you at all times and refer to it often: it will be your guide! It includes a detailed schedule with phone numbers that you would use in case of emergency. It is particularly important that you take it with you to make sure that you know what time to return and how to reach me if you have a question or problem.

I think you know already that I will treat you as adults if you act like adults, and I am looking forward to taking this trip with all of you. I am sure that you will all conduct yourselves with the dignity and maturity that will tell our hosts, audiences, and other observers, that you are proud of what you are doing, both on- and off-stage. We represent the Music Department, Coe College, Iowa, and the United States to many of these people, and I hope that you will take this responsibility very seriously.

Have a great tour!

Sincerely,

William S. Carson

Dr. William S. Carson, Conductor

Coe College Bands

Important Advice:

Most of you are unfamiliar with the places we are going. Do not go exploring without good directions from a reputable source (desk clerk, etc.). Under NO circumstances should anyone venture off on their own without a partner. If you see someone start to wander off, stop them. I don't want to scare you, but any city has neighborhoods that you should not be in. NO ONE GOES OUT ALONE FOR ANY REASON! There is safety in numbers - stick together in decent sized groups (three or more). Do not carry loosely attached purses, do not carry large amounts of money in wallets in back pockets (the front pocket is less comfortable but safer). Do not leave items of value in motel rooms. Watch out for each other! It is better to be overly cautious than to have a problem. Be careful in traffic, and do not travel away from the hotels unless you are alert enough to take good care of yourself. Use good common sense, and I am sure we will have no trouble, but do be cautious.

Things to do Before You Come to Camp

(Tuesday, August 2, 6 pm)

Notify Family, Friends – make sure they know where the website is (www.coe.edu/bands), know all the phone numbers in the handbook, and make sure they know the numbers of the Dean’s Office (319-399-8616), the Music Office (319-399-8521), and Mary Dias (secretary in Hickok Hall – 319-399-8619). Also give them my office telephone number – I will check it often: 319-399-8520.

Passport, money, and other valuables.

As you know, we will have a copy with us, as well as electronic copies. The passport will also be available electronically to the Dean’s Office, the Music Office, and to Mary Dias, secretary for Hickok Hall
You should still take a copy and leave it with your family. Make sure the passport number is legible.
Make sure you have a secure way to transport your passport, money, and plane tickets. I recommend a money belt or one of those cases you wear around your neck (under your shirt) – document safe. Some people (I do this sometimes) use a fanny pack in the front, but watch out when there’s a crowd – people can jostle you and be rummaging through getting your good stuff.
I do usually carry a dummy wallet with a few small bills (and no important ID cards) in my back pocket. I figure if the thief wants something, they can have that. And that way, if I want to purchase something small, I can do so without showing off the rest of my money. Or, if someone manages to steal my document safe, at least I have a little money to use to get help!

Credit Cards/ATM Cards/Money

Call and make sure your credit card and ATM companies know you are traveling abroad so they don’t cancel your card!
Make sure that someone back home knows the account number of any credit cards you will be bringing, and knows what numbers to call to cancel them if need be.
Make sure you have other plans beside ATM or Debit cards. I hear they don’t work that easily in Korea.
Credit Cards work as well as in the US.
Make sure you have some American cash for Hawaii and the airports, and some Korean cash for Cheju. Don’t carry it all in one place, don’t leave very much behind in hotel room.

Packing Light

As you know, we have a 40 lb. per person weight limit on Korean Air, even though our United limit is almost 70 pounds per case. Coe will pay the extra fees to get the instruments to the island, but anyone who goes over the 40 pounds in their suitcase will need to pay the charge – in Korean cash, at the counter – approximately $1.50 for 2 pounds (each way). Here are some packing suggestions to help you keep it light.

Don’t be a clothing horse – we’re all in the same boat – no one will criticize you if you wear the same clothes several times – just wash them in the sink the first night in Korea (actually I think there are washing machines there, but I wouldn’t have a clue how to operate them!)
Don’t bring a lot of makeup, cologne, curling irons, etc. It’s just not about how we look.
Bring a few (four) sets of clothes you don’t really care about and just leave them behind in Hawaii and Korea. Old duplicate Coe College Bands shirts are good for that – maybe we’ll get some free advertising!
Soft Side – use a soft-sided suitcase without wheels – why use up ten pounds just for wheels? Wrap your toiletries in the middle.
Rain Coat – you need a raincoat anyway – make sure you have one with lots of pockets and carry it on the Korean Air flight, stuffed with anything you need to bring that won’t fit in your carryon and would make your suitcase overweight. The rest of the time you can leave it in your suitcase. Carry on any heavy books you have with you – make it look like you’re going to spend the entire 30 minute flight studying!
Sample size toiletries – instead of bringing one big bottle of shampoo that stays the same size the whole time, bring several smaller bottles, and discard the empty ones after Hawaii. Same goes for deodorant, toothpaste, etc.
Pack a small, separate bag for the stuff you need for camp. We’ll let you lock that up in Marquis somewhere. No point in dragging dirty clothes along with you all the way to Korea and back!
Make sure any medication you bring is in the original container.
Make sure you pack some personal items in your carryon in case luggage is lost or delayed.

Label everything!

Practice the music – the better you know it, the more fun we can have with it!

And for goodness sake, don’t forget to bring the music!

You do NOT need to bring a folding music stand.

Each member of the group reports to the attendance leader with the same footnote marking. The staff members, in turn, report to the group leaders. When moving through the airports, please stay in these groups, even when we are all flying together. When we are on layovers group leaders may give you permission to split up for a certain amount of time. When this happens, feel free to travel in groups of 3 or more.

Security and health advice:

§ Try not to stand out as an American once we leave Hawaii. Blend in as best you can. Do not wear logowear that might indicate you're an American (except Coe College stuff!). Don't wear anything with the American flag. Backpacks and fanny packs signal foreign tourists (but I’m bringing mine anyway). DO wear Coe College clothing in Hawaii!

§ Make sure people back home know how to reach you. Have a calling card, or other method to reach home (it is VERY unlikely that your cell phone will work overseas – even if your company says it will). I just got a cheap calling card at Target. Make sure you know that it can be used overseas. Dial these access codes to use your telephone calling cards:

(limited availability)

§ For sanitary reasons overseas, do not get any new piercings or tattoos.

§ Avoid places where Westerners are known to congregate, such as bars and nightclubs.

§ Move in and out of hotel lobbies and unsecured airport areas as quickly as possible.

§ Know where the nearest US Embassy or Consulate is.

§ Keep copies of your passport and passport photo in a separate place from your actual passport (this will help if your passport is lost or stolen). Dr. Carson will also have a set of copies.

§ If crowds are forming for any reason other than concerts, stay clear of them.

§ Wash your hands often – maybe carry antibacterial lotion or wipes.

§ Drink lots of bottled water or juices, especially during the flights.

§ Get rest when you can. There will be lots of exciting things to experience, and you won’t want to miss them in order to take a nap. Be sensible about bedtimes. I do not plan to impose curfews, but the hotels and dorms may have some limits. Please respect them.

Things to Bring:

Ÿ SUNTAN LOTION and SUNGLASSES (perhaps a second pair)! Please take the Hawaiian and Korean sun seriously. We don't have time to take you to the hospital for dehydration, sunburn, etc.

Ÿ Passport – and a safe way to carry it with you at all times: “a person without a passport is a person without a country!”

Ÿ Travel Alarm Clock – “to be on time is to be late – to be early is to be on time” In other words, be early!

Ÿ Guide books or money to buy them

Ÿ Warm weather clothes

Ÿ Any clothing with Coe Logo, especially Coe Band Shirt(s)

Ÿ Weather-appropriate clothing – shorts and short-sleeves recommended

Ÿ Comfortable shoes. (multi-purpose would be good – do you really need separate pairs for beach, concert, plane, etc.?)

Ÿ Instrument, neck-strap, mutes, stand, extra reeds, mouthpieces, sticks, music, etc.

Ÿ Spending money: Be prepared to buy souvenirs, pay for meals, etc. I suggest that you bring a little extra in case you see something interesting, or in case of emergency. You do need to be careful about the amount you bring: treat it like Las Vegas - don't bring any more than you are willing to lose! But make sure you bring enough - I will not loan anyone money (except in emergency).

Ÿ Your uniform: all black informal attire for both bands (jazz band plays both indoor and outdoor – concert band indoor)

Ÿ Laundry soap (in a plastic bag). Extra plastic bags for separating wet clothes if necessary. A small clothesline might help, too. Clothespins would be a good addition, too.

Ÿ Bus and airplane food to share (with me!)

Ÿ Camera and film (film should be in carry-on only)

Ÿ Medications and vitamins (Dramamine for the plane if you need it, too) in carry-on

Ÿ A signed physician’s prescription for each prescription medicine you bring. This may come in handy if you lose your medication, or if there are any questions at customs.

Ÿ Plan to share items

Ÿ Plan to bring a small towel and washcloth that don’t take up too much room and don’t take too long to dry.

Ÿ Swimsuit & towel! (Summer in Hawaii--need I say more?)

Ÿ Please do not bring beach towels! Too bulky!

Things not to bring:

Ÿ Unneeded Valuables (jewelry, boom boxes, instruments that aren't needed for tour, etc.)

Ÿ Offensive clothing

Ÿ No alcoholic beverages in plane, no consumption of alcohol in vehicles

Ÿ Anything that will not pass airport security

Ÿ Large items that aren’t needed (hairdryers, etc.)

Ÿ No aerosol sprays or other flammable objects. (no matches or cigarette lighters)

Ÿ Don’t bring clothes that take too long to dry!

Ÿ No knives, etc. in carry-ons. Don’t forget to move your reed knife from your instrument case to your suitcase.

Ÿ Don’t bring anything you wouldn’t want me to find.

Suggestions to keep us all sane while living together so closely for sixteen days:

Ÿ Don’t lose your passport or plane tickets.

Ÿ Have your belongings well marked.

Ÿ There may need to be quiet hours. Please respect them.

Ÿ Please respect individual requests for quiet or privacy (but don't allow someone to wander off alone).

Ÿ Always consult your tour book for times, emergency phone numbers, and information.

Ÿ Be on time! (“to be on time is to be late, to be early is to be on time!”)

Ÿ No consumption of alcoholic beverages on show days prior to performance time.

Ÿ No underage drinking.

Ÿ Obey all laws. Remember, you represent Coe College. I won’t have enough money with me to pay bail.

Ÿ Be responsible for your own belongings, and look out for those of others – double-check before leaving concert sites, transportation, and hotel.

Ÿ Don’t do anything you wouldn’t want me, your parents, or the Dean to know about.

Ÿ Use common sense, courtesy, and teamwork: we will have a lot of fun, but we will also work hard and try to accomplish a lot in a short time. Help each other out, and get some rest when you have the chance!

Ÿ Have fun playing in these different places. Take care of your health - there is time for relaxation, but, all told, this is a strenuous tour. I will not be sympathetic with anyone who has fallen ill because he or she failed to get enough rest or who has eaten or drunk improperly. Coe has spent a lot of money on this tour, and I have made a major investment of time. You have an obligation to be at your best at all times when in public. Keep this in mind, and make us proud of everything you accomplish on this trip.

Ÿ You know that I will treat you as adults - as long as you act like adults. Be responsible, represent us well, be on time, and have a great trip!

Hotel Information

Ÿ No practicing in the hotel rooms. If the front desk can direct you to an appropriate place, go ahead.

Ÿ Be careful of conversation volume late at night.

Ÿ Please do not make phone calls from the room, unless you have already made sure that there are no surcharges. Under no circumstances are you to charge calls to the room. If the room has pay-per-view movies, please pay in advance. I want no charges on the hotel bill other than the lodging.

Ÿ No room switching without permission.

Ÿ Be respectful of roommates--if you are visiting someone late at night, are you sure their roommate wants you in the room?

Travel “Tips”

South Koreans don't expect you to tip, particularly as a 10% service charge is added to the bill in most hotels.
