Transportation

special transp:

No.
Also a note on the number of people coming: Since we're a high school band, our membership fluctuates a little. We currently only have 15 members, but 5 of them just left for college, and we plan on recruiting heavily in the next month to replace them. However, those 5 people might come back from college for the weekend, so 22 is an upper bound for our membership. We might only have 16.

we'd like to do only one set during the main music festival on saturday.

Also, this year we are only the queer members of CIE coming to Honk, so if the t-shirts are not printed yet, it would be awesome if you could change the name for Queer Insurrection Ensemble instead of Chaotic Insurrection Ensemble. If they are already printed, forget about it 🙂

Super appreciate you finding us housing!
No special requests - just proximity to the Dilboy and Davis Square, if possible! (But we understand you're trying to find a lot of housing for folks!)

We have ONE house already arranged for us from a previous HONK host:
Chris and Didi J (Dimana) MacDonald
73 Highland Rd
Somerville MA 02144

(That's why only 15 need housing instead of all 20 - some will stay at this house + 1-2 ppl have other places to stay).

FRIDAY, October 5th

Other scheduling:

It would be best if we do NOT have to play in (full) dark for our Sat night set (some folks still need sheet music)

For FRI night - are there still actions with local community groups happening that night? We would rather do that than the lantern parade.

FWIW, just to let you know: although we are a new band, a few of us have been in other bands that have attended HONK a lot (BLO, RMO, Brass Messengers), so some of us are pretty familiar with how HONK works).
