Wow our band doesn't go anywhere. We had almost planned a cruise in May. But we lost 2K from our concert when we hosted Maynard Furgeson because we only sold 250 tickets out of about 600 we could have so that runined all our trip plans for the first time. Our band really doesn't do anything becuase our school doesn't give us enough funding. We won Teen Arts last year yet couldn't go to states. Well at least we can this year. This year we competed in our first marching competion too in our band history and we finised 5th outta 5 though but we had a 69.24 (I think). WE just got a new (younger) conductor 2 years ago so he's turning us aroufn since he left his state champ band in Conneticut to come to us (in Jersey). So we're getting our first shot at all this stuff. Our last conductor had been there for 30 some years and didn't do anything extra marching things or trips.
