Absolutely! Cheap, and a great experience! RT @musiced20: anyone do exchange concerts with another school? #MusEdChat

via TweetGrid.com

I’ve done quite expensive trips before, but usually cap it at around $400 and then fund-raise all year toward that goal. #MusEdChat

via TweetGrid.com

Working/fundraising toward the goal of the trip & eventually achieving it is a valuable life lesson. #MusEdChat

via TweetGrid.com

RT @elmccully: I do think trips on the whole are great for team-building #MusEdChat

via TweetGrid.com

@AMParents_ I don’t know if university trips are common. It’s just something I always do. I think it’s valuable. #MusEdChat

via TweetGrid.com in reply to AMParents_

@elmccully this is probably true in many cases. A reason I’ve avoided them. But our trip was very musical. And fun. #MusEdChat

via TweetGrid.com in reply to elmccully

And visiting university music programs, sitting in on rehearsals, or clinics, or performances definitely make impressions #MusEdChat

via TweetGrid.com

@MattErcolani I don’t know if the trip itself has turned them into music majors. they/re part of the comprehensive HS program #MusEdChat

via TweetGrid.com in reply to MattErcolani

as well as the musical experience they gain in the process and (very important) the camaraderie that develops. #MusEdChat

via TweetGrid.com

The true success of the ensemble trip comes from the shared experience. The students’ preparation, planning, & execution… #MusEdChat

via TweetGrid.com

First “theme park” trip I’ve ever done. We always work in at least one college visitation and try to get clinics w/ mus dept #MusEdChat

@jguarr Los Angeles - Pepperdine tour, Santa Monica, Music in the Parks festival, Disney Performing Arts. #MusEdChat

via TweetGrid.com in reply to jguarr

Just got back from a band/choir trip a few weeks ago. They are SO worth the effort. #MusEdChat

via TweetGrid.com

RT @jguarr: Our topic tonight is: What is your opinion on trips for ensembles? What makes it worth the time and money? #MusEdChat

via TweetGrid.com

Fun time performing for Cottage Hill Elementary 1st Graders today at Bear River HS! #musedchat
