[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do kids who can't afford the band trip do? They need to either fundraise until everyone can go, choose a cheaper trip, or leave half of each section behind? Seems odd.[/quote]

The kids that do not sign up stay behind.  I guess they have a substitute for their band class and go about their regular classes during the week of the trip.[/quote]

[b]OK, that explains what the kids do that stay behind. What on earth does the band do if they don't have all the sections to play the pieces (well)? Why go without the whole band? One band, one sound, amiright?[/b][/quote]

The Band trip is comprised of the upper and middle concert bands, jazz band, and orchestra.  I'm not really sure what they do if they don't have all the sections to play all the pieces - combine all the kids that go into one big band?

Any how - let's face it - the trip isn't about playing music.  They have one concert the first day then are off to sightseeing the rest of the trip.  Part of the sight seeing is seeing another culture and the musical history of that culture.[/quote]
