Every four years, the high school band takes a trip beyond the boundaries of Montezuma to share their talents. They will go to Florida this year.
In the past they have gone to Florida, Canada and other places around and outside of the country. On the last trip they went to Orlando, Florida, with the school’s color guard team.
Although they have not always performed on past trips, they will play at Disney World this year. They will be performing “Swing Machine,” “Birdland,” “Friday Night Football,” “Deja Blues,” “25 or 6 to 4,” “Saturday in the Park,” “Abaco” and “Viva La Vida.”
Senior flutist Natalie Wheeler said, “I am so excited for the Orlando trip. Our band has been working hard for the past year getting ready for the show. We have really come a long way.”
The trip will be from June 1 through the 6. There is going to be 28 people total on the trip: 22 students, five chaperones and director Scott Stanton. The band will travel by charter bus to and from Orlando.
Kaylene Corbin, a freshman saxophonist, said, “I’m excited for the trip to Florida. I can’t wait to be with my fellow band mates at Disney World riding rides and riding in a charter bus.”
There will be a going-away concert open to the public on May 24 at 7:00 p.m. at the high school. The band will be performing their concert material for Disney as a send-off to friends, family and other members of the community.
