Who likes music and chocolate!?

*Price is approximate and estimated based on filling a 55-passenger bus and while we await final 2026 rates from Hershey’s Chocolate World for dining (TBD in Jan 2026). If we are unable to fill a bus completely or dining rates are higher than expected, this rate may increase slightly. We have overestimated, with hopes that the price will actually be LOWER and that amount will come off of the last payment. Based on the time that the deposit is received and documented, there may be a waitlist for spots on the first bus. Depending upon the number of deposits received, there may be additional buses planned for the trip.
Refund policy: The $50 deposit for 48 students and 5 chaperones is non-refundable. Waitlisted deposits after that count are refundable. Once the final count is sent to Hershey Theatre and Chocolate World on March 1st, no refunds will be given.
Processing of Payments: All payments are processed through the Sherando High School Band Booster Association. Credit card payment is available with an additional processing fee. If you would like to use your student account balance, please contact the booster treasurer, Sam Kilkus at treasurer@sherandoband.org.
