Well, we made it home safely! I think everyone agrees that this was a FANTASTIC band trip!! The students had so many fun and unique experiences, and speaking on behalf of the adults, I think we were all impressed by the maturity and good behavior students demonstrated throughout the trip. Mr. Anderson and I were just reflecting on how smoothly everything went this past week... not a single trip to the hospital or other major mishap! That is due in part to a lot of people...
So THANK YOU...
...to the students, for being awesome young adults and musicians and earning compliments from people everywhere we went!
...to the chaperones, for being guides, floor monitors, medicine-distributors, attendance-takers, door-tapers, and all-around great people to travel with!
...to ALL the parents who supported their students musically, monetarily, and otherwise in preparation for the trip!
...to the Jepsens, for being our tried and true trailer drivers and getting all our instruments safely to San Antonio! (despite numerous setbacks!)
...to Ms. Swanson, Mr. Wickoff, and all the MCHS administrators who help make trips happen!
...and of COURSE, to Kim Gordon for being our Trip-Planner Extraordinaire and making sure every last detail was in place from initial planning a year ago through our departure!
So this is the end of the trip blog for now. We may be posting links to photo galleries as pictures, videos, and audio files come in, so do check back in a couple weeks for those things. Thanks again, and have a wonderful rest of your spring break!
Ms. Wych, this blog is AMAZING! I really enjoyed Texas. Also, thanks to you and Mr. Anderson for being generous with your time in order to prepare us for the trip. Thanks everyone! :)
