I just returned from chaperoning my younger daughter's high school music trip. At her school, the entire music department goes on the trips: band, chorus, and orchestra. Each are given performing opportunities and we all get to enjoy some local attractions. This year, the trip was to Norfolk, VA to participate in the Virginia Arts Festival. The orchestra and choir did adjudicated performances (playing for judges scores/comments and then working with one of the judges in a session). The marching band participated in the NATO Parade of Nations. Our fun activities included a river cruise, a museum attached to a battleship, seeing the Virginia International Tattoo. I had a really good time, but I underestimated the amount of exhaustion I would experience! If you're ever considering going with your students/children:
