All music trips have sorta failed this year cuz my music teachers changed... we were hoping to go to Ireland this year during the week of St patricks ... but noo... we got a new head of department... he was supposd to go to Vienna for 250th Mozart bday thing... So it was a double bummer for all of us... =/

Oooh...My school (Markham District H.S.) goes to Wonderland every year too...and it was extremely cold this year -.-". The grd 9s always go to Washington but its not really for competition..its just a tour band. Grd 10 + 11 + 12 go to a diff location each year. Its supposed to be ..one yr US one yr Europe...this yr was SUPPOSED to be California but not enough people wanted to go..next year is England/Scotland! Exciting.

It really depends on what my school music teacher thinks...In my 1st year, we went to Montreal for Music Fest, 2nd year (Music Fest held in Vancouver), Ottawa, 3rd year (this year), Ottawa for Music Fest```m-_-m```I think next year we are going to Music Fest again depending on where it's held...lol~I want to go to New York though...T___T

I was in a city choir and we always went to MusicFest... but after like 25 years the directors finally decided that they wanted to have Monday nights off. And unfortunately, the parents couldn't find a good enough person to replace them. No more MusicFest for me!  |

Well I feel Totally jipped cause I have yet to go to Wonderland in my entire high school musical career. I did go in gr. 8 though. My school does Musicfest every March Last year in London, this year in Collingwood. We saw the Ottawa centeral forces band (my uncles band  ) . Our choirs go to OVF. Our jazz bands go to Mohawk Jazz Festival @ Mohawk College in Hamilton. Most of our ensembles (and small ensembles: brass quintet and flute quartet and sax quartet..We even had a FRENCH HORN QUINTET this year  ) go to Kiwanis festival where we get to see our friends from other schools in the district. Oktoberfest band does the usual, playing for the feeder shools and downtown for the festival. Other than that we have a big music trip every other year and a so-so trip the years that we're not on the big ones. Two years ago was Boston for 5 days and saw Les Mis. Last year we went to Toronto for the weekend and saw Wicked (which remains my fav. musical of ALL TIME!!) Then this year we went to Chicago for 5 days and saw RENT. We played @ one of the museiems. It was superpro...lol I'm done now. - Sambam a.k.a. {605} |
