Everyone enjoys a reward for years of hard work and that is what the band program intends to do. Plans are forming for a June 1-6, 2012 band trip to Orlando, Fla. for 9-12 grade students of the 2011-2012 year.
A total of 26 people are attending this trip, 20 of whom will be students, along with band director Scott Stanton and five chaperones.
The 20 students include: Katie Benson, Morgan Benson, Elijah Bryan, Mariah Hirsch, Norman Martin, Elizabeth Ostrem, Sidney Roorda, Coleton Tompkins, Natalie Wheeler, Nathan Wheeler, Kaylene Corbin, Jade Crandall, Sidney Ehret, Seth Fahlenkamp, Tyler Geiger, Lucas Goodman, Clara Johnson, Jack Little, Trevor Moyer and Shayla Townsend.
The band has taken many trips like this in the past such as to Winnipeg, Manitoba and Hershey, Pa. for competitions. This trip will cost roughly $1,500 per person as they will be busing to their destination.
“These kinds of trips are really a reward or an incentive trip for years of hard work learning to play an instrument. What [students] learn is how to work together toward a common goal and how to support each other through teamwork,” said Stanton.
