Imaging 140 band members getting ready to load a bus for Amtrack when we find out EDT DID not make arrangements for the band to BRING THEIR INSTRUMENTS! What exactly would BAND members be doing otherwise? The group went on the trip anyway, but EDT knew for 8 months about the instruments needing to come with them, and someone dropped the ball. So my advice, check, check and double check, even with the carriers, that your arrangements have been properly made. Don't assume EDT has their act together.
Cons: Mishandled planning
