manuel_pablo Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Where does your band go for spring trips? This year our band is going on a 4 day cruise to Cozumel, Mexico. I've decided not to go because not as many people are going as previous years. Even though it wouldn't have been my own personal money paying for that, I need to save up money for traveling. Like to Grand Nats (depending on who's going), DCI Wotld Championships, and a new car. Quote
rdzsaxplaya Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Our band goes every other year, last year we went to South Padre Island.....So yeah this year were not going anywhere Quote

The year before that we went to Corpus Christi and stayed in condos the whole time. I though Corpus was better than South Padre because we got to buy our own food for the whole weekend and we had to make it ourselves and stuff. Quote

Those cruises are awesome...i went on both my sophomore and senior year. they were pretty awesome. But if you wanna save up, i guess its the smart thing not to go . Maybe I should start saving up for GN next year too lol Quote
itsstephenyo Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I have a friend who was in the Highland Park band, and every year, they went out of COUNTRY. In all 4 years she was there, they went out of the country for the spring trip 3 years in a row. Quote
Aegis Fang Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 we're going to New York, and we get to play a concert at Carnegie Hall 8) Quote
Salesmonkey Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 We were going to Colorado but not enough people payed so it was cancelled -.- now idk where were going if anywhere. Quote
TubaRed_89 Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 We're are going to CHICAGO, and get to play on Symphony Hall, then get to watch the Chicago Symphony Orchestra perform. That is going to be the best trip ever. Last year we went to Corpus as well. Trips in High School Freshmen: NYC Baby!! Yeah Macy*s Day Parade Sophmore: LA, Contest thing was boring, because we were literally the only bands there, so we beat ourselves. Also went to Disneyland Junior: Corpus, boring but fun because we bought our own food and had our condo Sweet. Senior: Chicago, can't wait. Quote
gavinrh Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 i hear we used to go to corpus...but i dont think we've had a spring trip since i got to high school and i dont think we will while im here Quote
Salesmonkey Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 The year before i got here they went to Ireland for St. Patricks day and marched in a big parade. My freshmen year we went to Disney World. Last year and this year the directors have proposed expensive trips and fairly short trips that no one really wants to pay for so they have been canceled. Hopefully we go somewhere awesome next year. Quote
Danpod Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 I always enjoyed the little inexpensive trips to the Coast, just to get away from school and band for a few days. Although we did have to compete, I must say that the Washington D.C. trip I took my Sophomore year changed my life. Quote
barisaxy08 Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 i wanna go back and stay at condo's in corpus christi!!!!! 3 days of pure fun Quote
ClaireAnnette07 Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 We're going to Dallas this year, the week after I go to Arlington for Student Council convention. It's not that big of a deal or anything, but band trips are fun anyway because, hey, we're the band! I have no idea if my school is doing the 'every other year' thing anymore because we have a new head band director and this year would have been a trip year anyway. I guess the students next year will find out! Quote
bossman Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 i think these trips r startin to get worse and worse when it comes to the fun factor. and the expense factor. Hint Hint gas prices need to go back down Quote
TRtrumpet Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 We just take little ones the corpus or south padre. I with we would take something bigger but we probably never will. Quote
bossman Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 i still cant get over how small ur band is, i bet eveeryone is like best friends. Quote
jbrih13 Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 We are going on a 4 day cruise i think to Cozmel, Mexico. Im not going, ive already been to mexico, and my family and i are taking a cruise to Jamaica or the Bahamas Quote
