#1: Our next optional summer meeting is Friday, July 12, starting at 10:00 am, in the Health Careers HS library.
Our final pre-departure meeting is Wednesday, July 17, starting at 1:00 pm in the Health Careers HS library. All delegates are expected to attend this meeting, as we will go over important details and rules. Check out this slideshow for the meeting agendas.
#2: We are traveling as a big NISD group of 54 (9 Clark, 45 HCHS). This Itinerary lists our expected stops, breaks, and activities to and from convention. Our trip is July 20-28. Figure out who you'll sit next to on the bus!
#3: Families, join our NJCL family Remind using this link if you'd like periodic updates during convention.
#4: Here's how housing at convention will work:
Two student delegates per room (roommate assignments here)
Most of the dorms will use shared bathrooms in each hallway. Make sure to plan accordingly by getting shower shoes and knowing what to bring each trip to the bathroom.
#5: Pack as lightly as possible and bring only what you need:
Clothes, toiletries, linens (twin XL size), pillow, towel, prescription and OTC meds you typically take, and other things from page 14 of the FAX document.
NO valuables or gaming consoles (a Switch is okay)
Airpods are strongly discouraged - they're too easy to lose and are expensive
Your stuff should fit in a backpack and small/medium luggage.
#6: Bring money for four meals on the road ($10-15 each) and for admission to the Nashville Parthenon ($10 for adults, $8 for 17-under). Any extra money you bring for snacks and Agora purchases will depend on what you and your family are comfortable with.
#7: If you have specific dietary needs and restrictions, please fill out this Google form ASAP so the personnel at the university can prepare accommodations.
#8: For DI or LO at Nationals, here's a guide to performance mastery doc and this folder with Mr. V's recordings of the passages, so you can practice. For sight rec, check out this folder.
#9: All convention details can be found in the 2024 FAX document and convention schedule
