Chicago Trip Parent/Student Meeting

Wednesday, September 18th, 6:30 in the High School Band Room

The High School Bands participate in travel opportunities every couple of years.  You may be familiar with the New York trip the bands take every four years, but we also schedule travel opportunities every 2 years, or in between the New York trip.  This school year is a two-year trip.  The two-year trip will often change locations but is designed to be budget-friendly while offering a rich and cultural opportunity for our students.  We have enlisted the help of Bennett Travel, who always plans our New York trip, to provide us with an itinerary for this year.  After careful consultation, we decided on Chicago.  The Chicago trip would be an overnight trip and less than half the cost of what the New York trip is.  The trip provides several cultural opportunities such as Museums, Aquariums, Navy Pier, Sightseeing, Shopping, and two full-group dinners.  The most important aspect of the trip, however, is the opportunity to hear the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Broadway Riverdance production.  We want the students to have a rich cultural opportunity that they may not experience otherwise without this experience.  We hope to build a true appreciation for the arts while offering a well-rounded travel experience.

Jeff Bennett will be here to answer questions and present the full trip.  If you are not able to attend, we will provide a video; however, please plan on attending in person if possible.  Cost breakdown and details will be presented and finalized at the meeting.  All payments are now online through Bennett Travel.
