I haven’t been able to go anywhere in my local town without someone stopping and asking me, “How did you plan such an amazing trip?”
I highly recommend any band to attend and march in the National Independence Day Parade. MCI does a great job of planning an amazing experience for students, allowing for lifelong memories to be made by both students and adults alike. There is no better place to spend the 4th of July than in the Nation’s Capital! The highlights of the tour, according to my students and chaperones, were our local tour managers/guides, walking tours, Smithsonian museums, wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the PARADE!!!, and the PBS broadcast “A Capitol Fourth” Concert. The highlight of the trip for me was watching my students experience everything. Over half had not traveled on an airplane, let alone to Washington DC. I received so many messages from parents, who were thankful that they were able to experience so much on the trip. I haven’t been able to go anywhere in my local town without someone stopping and asking me, “How did you plan such an amazing trip?” Thank you so much for all of your hard work, and I hope to work together again in the future!
