Travel 101: A Band Director's Guide for Planning Student Travel

Have you ever thought to yourself I wish I knew then what I know now or hindsight is 20/20? When I think back to the day that I began planning my first band trip those sentiments are true. I wrote this book as a resource to help band directors who are interested in planning student travel opportunities. While the main focus is on travel and performance with a marching band the information can be adapted and applied to almost any group whether youre an orchestra or choir director classroom teacher or club advisor. The content is a compilation of the things I learned through personal experience networking with other band directors and dealing with several different travel companies over a fifteen year period from 1997 to 2012 as the director of the Butler High School Golden Tornado Marching Band in Butler Pennsylvania.
