2008 ALL-STATE HOTEL RESERVATION & MEDICAL FORMS
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE NOTE - It is most important that all that are involved in the All-State organizational process, read and follow these instructions exactly as written. Failure to do so could cause a delay in processing your material and thereby result in the deadline date being missed.
1. Complete both Hotel Reservation and Medical forms completely and accurately. Please PRINT or TYPE on both forms. Read the information on the top portion of the Hotel Reservation form (both sides) and retain for future use.
PLEASE NOTE - BEFORE SENDING A PERSONAL CHECK FOR THE HOTEL PAYMENT, PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR SCHOOL MUSIC DIRECTOR TO SEE IF YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT PAYS FOR THE HOTEL ACCOMODATIONS.
2. If you are PERSONALLY PAYING for your housing in Atlantic City, send the bottom portion of the Hotel Reservation form with your check payable to NJMEA in the amount of $275.00. DO NOT SEND ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER. FOR PROPER CREDIT, THEY MUST BE SENT TOGETHER.
3. If your SCHOOL IS PAYING for your housing, give the completed Hotel Reservation form to your vocal/instrumental music teacher IMMEDIATELY. They will process your forms in conjunction with your Board of Education who will issue a check that they will send with the forms. Some schools ask the parents to pay "up-front" and the parents will be paid by the school at some future time.
4. The Hotel Reservation form (and payment) and the Medical form can be mailed TOGETHER.
DO NOT SEND YOUR MATERIAL BY EXPRESS, CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL OR ANY OTHER MEANS THAT REQUIRES A SIGNATURE FOR DELIVERY. IT WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU. If you need proof of delivery, use Priority Mail with delivery confirmation.
5. You must begin to process and send these forms and your check immediately. Please note the deadline dates for the various organizations listed on each of the forms.
PLEASE DO NOT STAPLE YOUR CHECK or MEDICAL
FORM TO THE HOUSING FORM.
6. More detailed information concerning the first day in Atlantic City will be given to all participants at the final rehearsals in October.
7. Any questions or concerns can be made by contacting Kathy Mosher, All-State Registrar.
