We are trying to line up a good deal on rooms for people who either going to New York City early or who are going and will not be participating in the Music Festival (ie paying the festival fee).
Sherri Reginato has spoken with the Sheraton New York Towers and has received a quote of $279/night from the hotel directly. She has received a quote of $239/night at The Manhattan Times Square (sister property of and across the street from the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers). This is for a room prior to the festival.
A little more information about the two Sheraton properties: they are completely sold out of double-doubles, meaning this is the cost for a one-bed room (either queen or king) during 4/16 – 4/22. The contact did say that she could get me a rollaway for a one-time $30 cost at The Manhattan Times Square.
Sherri was lead to believe that she could contract for a better rate if she was looking to book a group of ten rooms…so are you going out to New York prior to the event???
Therefore, please contact her if you would like her to see about getting you a room at the Sheraton New York Towers or the Manhattan Times Square. You can email her at sreginato@frontiernet.net.
Also, there is one change in the festival for non-participants. If you have family and friends who want to see your student perform, this year they will need tickets for both the afternoon event and the Evening Showcase. The afternoon event ticket will cost $10.00 and the Evening Showcase will cost $20.00. They will go on sale at the Carnegie Hall Presale Office on or about February 1, 2011. I will keep you posted.
I am sending this email out through both Charms (our new email program) and my old email list. I discovered today that a parent was not getting her email through Charms…so let me know if you don’t get the email twice (at least)!!! Or if you haven’t received the previous two emails I sent out about the trip.

What if you want to take the entire family to New York City and extend the trip, either before the rest of the band arrives (it is Spring Break the week leading up to the Festival) or after the band leaves…
o To get a group fare through Jet Blue, 10 or more customers must be booked together on the same flight and on the same date by the JetBlue Groups Desk.

o You will have to make your own hotel reservations for the extra nights you are staying in New York. I am told that any hotel room found for $300.00 or less per night is a GREAT deal. If you find a great deal, share it with me so that I can share it with the other band parents!
