The federal court in Springfield, Missouri has set pre trial conference this week before U.S. District Court Judge David P. Rush for defendant Calliope R. Saaga, a Samoan travel agent based in Utah accused of misusing more than $300,000 from a high school marching band.

Saaga, 39, was indicted last month by a federal grand jury in a 15-count indictment that included charges of wire fraud and money laundering. He operated a travel agency business called Present America Tours LLC.

Court records state that Saaga’s pre trial conference is scheduled for June 24th and a chief federal judge has ordered that prior to this hearing, trial attorneys for both sides are to meet personally and discuss potential plea agreements. Final plea agreements are to be signed prior to the conference or be ready for signature at  the conference — if any is reached.

However, if no plea is reached by the time of the pre trial conference, then the trial date is set for July 14th this year, unless its given a special date, according to court records.

Prosecutors allege that the defendant was wired $360,000 by Willard High School Band to pay for a trip to Hawai’i in the summer of 2012 for 300 students and chaperones.

However, the defendant used the money to finance his personal lifestyle, which included gambling in Las Vegas, Nevada, international travel to Samoa, and a trip to Disneyland.

Saaga is currently out on bail.
