Orlando has been, by far, our most common destination. 2006 was the last year we took a small trip on the year between big trips. For whatever reason, students stopped being excited about small bus trips over a weekend. The orchestra just came back from a brief overnight to University of Illinois where they participated in a festival and had a great time. Maybe in 2014, the current sophomores can generate enough interest in a quick, fun trip. In the meantime, I'm working on two possible destinations for 2013. More details to come this spring!
