CVHS Bands Trip Page
Every other year the “Big Reds” Marching Band travels to competition festival at a distant location to demonstrate the quality of the music program at CVHS and to provide the kids a chance to see shows from other units outside of the local area. In the past we’ve traveled several times to Hawaii & Florida, and in 2010 are planning another trip back to Florida during spring break.
Florida Trip a Success!
Is is really over? Sunday night as we dropped off a very tired set of students, chaperones & families, the main discussion was to get home and finally into our own beds, but underneath that sentiment was a heartfelt desire for it to continue on further. Can't we just have a few more days at the beach? or at Disney? or take another trip to Cirque Du Soleil, or the House of Blues?
A very sincere thank you to all the people involved in making this trip such a wonderful success. The next time you see Mary Lach, Lisa Kutskill, Kimm Cope, Kim Starr, Cindy Ozment, Rose Sanderson, Gary Sanderson, John Nowak, Brad Garrett, Mike Robinson or Mr Hoey let them know that their efforts were appreciated. Do the same for all the other parents on the trip and don't forget those that stayed home and worked hard to allow us to go, they also deserve a thank you!
Lastly thanks go to all the students that pitched in numerous times to help make the trip a success! We couldn't do it without a great set of students and you guys were the best!
