Ready to Join Us in Ireland? 🇮🇪
Families planning to participate will need to complete two separate registrations:
1. Register for the Ireland Trip
Complete the Ireland trip registration through the Gateway travel company portal.
REGISTER FOR THE IRELAND TRIP: HERE
$500 trip deposit due November 1, 2026
Please follow the registration instructions provided by the travel company to create your account, register your traveler, and submit the required deposit.
2. Secure Your Spot in the 2027–28 Lassiter Marching Band
Because participation in the 2027–28 Lassiter Marching Band is required for students traveling to Ireland, Ireland participants must also secure their spot in next year's marching band.
REGISTER FOR 2027–28 MARCHING BAND: HERE
$30 non-refundable Marching Band deposit due November 1, 2026 for Ireland participants.
This $30 deposit secures your student's spot in the Fall 2027 Marching Band and is separate from the Ireland trip deposit.
