I could have given up 25% of my band grade to go to all of the KSC regionals for missing festival, but I chose not to do so. I only live two hours from KSC, so I just drove with Kristen (one of my team members and fellow MCHS clarinet person) up the morning after festival and watched the finals on Saturday. I couldn't afford a D in band..my parents would have strangled me.

Same thing happened to me at the VCU Richmond regional. The morning of finals I left at some ungodly early hour, drove down to Jamestown, played my oboe for half an hour, and was able to make it back in time to drive in the semi-finals at VCU. Not that I would speed or anything.

Hrmm..they way my high school band was run was extermely laid back. Polly part of the reason you will never see NQHS marching in any shows, or big parades, etc. Nope...we are the ghetto band of Massachusetts We saunter down the street..not march I didn't have to worry about my band grade all 4 years I've done FIRST.

The only band I was ever in was the jazz band, I used to play the piano. I also played the violin. I wanted to join the marching band (someone told me that I could be part of the field crew or pit) but I never had the time to. My marching band went to Walt Disney World every 2 or 3 years to play in the Magic Kingdom. And they usually stayed down there for like 2 weeks. I was always jealous of that, and then I found FIRST.

My band experience at Jamestown (my former school) was having to deal with all the bands, choirs, and whoever else showed up and asked "Where's the bathroom?" It was always right on the corner where the line of people and the signs were, or in the band room where most of them were. I also had to help direct traffic a few times, tour busses are a pain to direct.
BTW, Tom, remember Megan? She got reemed for leaving VCU early to make it to her performance.

Our band is heading down to Disney about 2 1/2 weeks after I return from nats. I'm still deciding if I should go.

The only problem is trying to fundraise for 2 consecutive trips to the same place.

I'm sure you'd be fundraising at different times and doing different things so it wouldn't be that bad.
