Every other year the members of the band and vocal groups take a trip to Chicago, Illinois. A lot of the students enjoy this and look forward to it.
Every student has to pay the same amount of money to go. We have a couple different fundraisers to help raise this money. A few include selling butter braids in the fall and selling cheesecake in the spring. This helps many students out in getting enough money for the trip. There are a lot of people in the school and the community who love to get butter braids or cheesecake.
We go to Chicago around the end of April. We take a charter bus there and back. We spend two days and one night there. We all stay in a hotel.
We do many fun activities while we are there. One of the main things we do is go to a Cubs game at Wrigley field. This is always a favorite that students like, especially the Cubs fans. Sometimes it gets very cold at the game, so we always make sure we pack a lot of warm clothes.
Another thing we do is eat at Gino’s pizza. This is a very cool restaurant that mostly everyone enjoys. The pizza is delicious here. We also visit the Navy Pier which is a 3,300 foot long pier that runs along Lake Michigan. There is a ferris wheel that people can ride and there’s several different attractions. People have different options on places to eat also.
We usually go to a play in Chicago while we are there. A couple years ago, we went to see Cinderella. It was very interesting and entertaining, and they made it a lot like the actual story.
Another thing we visited was Cloud Gate. This is another thing that I thought was really cool.
Overall, the Chicago trip is very fun and I’m glad we get to go on it. A lot of students enjoy this too, and I hope we continue to do it.
