Flagstaff Orchestra/Band Trip

Jessica goes to Flagstaff

This week Jessica went to flagstaff with the Highland High

school Chamber Orchestra. We left on Wednesday Feb 25th at

about2:00pm. We were traveling with the Highland

Symphonia orchestraand the Highland Symphonic Band.

I was able to go and be a chaperon. I also handled the

meds for my bus. we took four buses. It was such a great trip.

Im so glad I got to go and be with Jessica. We were going

for an ABODA Festival at Coconino HS.

When we arrived in Flagstaff we at at the Peter Piper Pizza.

Can you imagine four bus loads of Highschoolers descending

on this pizza place. We filled up the place. They were ready

for us. We ate and had about an hour left over for free time.

there is a target next to the pizza place and most kids

went over there to stock up on candy.

So Jessica forgot her jacket at home. Flagstaff is up in

northern Arizona and it is cold. We were able to

find a jacket at target on clearance for $10.

Next we went to NAU for a concert. The NAU Symphonic

Band was playing. It was a very good concert.

We then went to our hotel. This kids had a couple hours

of free time before lights out at 11pm. There was a

lounge with a fireplace in the hotel that the kids could just

sit and relax and visit. It was an uneventful evening.

I must say some great High School Kids.

The next morning we went to the Festival.

This is the High School We played at.
