Description

Travel to Louisiana with Grammy award winning artist Terrance Simien & The Zydeco Experience as they share Creole culture and history through Zydeco music. The Creoles of Southern Louisiana are a blend of African, French, Spanish and Native American people. Playing the accordion, rubboard, drums, keyboard and guitar, Mr. Simien and his band take you on a multicultural musical tour that will have you up and dancing!

THE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

How can I possibly know if I'll be available nine months from now?

You can't guarantee it. For all you know, you might be living overseas come February.

What you can do is make two personal commitments: (1) to attend if you are able and (2) to find a replacement for your family if you're not. Both commitments are equally important, and you shouldn't register for this event if you're not willing to make both of them.

You'll receive an email reminder four weeks before the performance (and a second reminder four days before). If your circumstances have changed, those four weeks will give you plenty of time to sell your tickets.

To give you a sense of the situation, last season I had 26 families register in April 2009 for a February 2010 performance and 5 of them chose to transfer their tickets when the early reminder was sent out in January 2010. All 5 families found replacements successfully.

Be forewarned that as stated in the Cancellation Instructions below, YOU will be responsible for the transfer. You will post to Homeschool Adventures that the tickets are available. Interested persons will contact you directly about the tickets. Reimbursements will be handled between you and your substitute. You will inform me of the transfer.

Payment information

Payment must be received by: Fri, May 28, 2010 - 12:00pm

1. Immediately after you register, you will be sent an email confirmation and payment instructions from "admin [at] homeschoolrecess [dot] com". Make sure your email filters recognize this address as a legitimate sender. If you don't receive this email, please check your spam, junk or bulk mail folder. Contact the organizer if you are unable to find it; if you receive no response to your email, please call the organizer. ----------
2. Please forward your payment instructions to the organizer to confirm your registration or send your payment the same day that you register. You are not officially registered until you either forward the message or the organizer receives your payment. If the organizer doesn't hear from you one way or the other within 72 hours, your family will BE removed from the registration list. This protects the organizer from non-payment due to payment instructions blocked by overly aggressive spam protection.
3. When the organizer receives your payment, you will be emailed a payment receipt from admin [at] homeschoolrecess [dot] com. The organizer updates payment records daily. If you've sent your payment and haven't received a payment confirmation, please contact the organizer by email or phone.
4. Please make your payment promptly. If the organizer doesn't receive payment by the payment deadline, your family may be removed from the registration list.
