For many Directors planning a band trip is one way of keeping band programs growing. For a Science teacher taking students to the NASA Space program is a way of bringing science to life. The experiences that students gain on a performance or educational trip are great reasons to justify the hard work and expense that it takes to put it all together.
Traveling to different cities or countries and interacting with people through music provide band and choir students experiences that teach them about the world and themselves. It’s difficult to measure the impact that group travel has on students, but students will always remember that band trip or educational trip to NYC or Europe. They’ll share stories about their last group trip to fellow classmates, or the freshmen class who didn’t experience that amazing trip opportunity. Music trips make a major impact on student’s education and personal growth. They learn about teamwork, responsibility, self-awareness, and independence, not to mention they gain a desire to explore the world around them through travel. There are many life lessons that simply cannot be taught in the classroom.
Having a good tour company, like UR Tours & Events that takes the time to customize a music trip that can meet your budget and program expectations is important. UR Tours & Events can assist in keeping you organized, remind you of important dates, and assist in taking care of the details, even the ones you didn’t think about. They stay focused in keeping the students educational experience the priority and purpose of the trip. They will be there to take care of the travel details while you concentrate on the performance. What you gain from a band trip or any student trip for that matter may be hard to measure, but there’s no denying that the rewards are well worth the effort.

“To all my music educator friends….you would be crazy not to use Livy with UR Tours for any trips you might be planning! This past weekend was the third time I used her and she is the best. Thanks for taking care of us the weekend Livy. We had a blast!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better trip. I was nervous about traveling as a chaperone with 30+ high schoolers, as I have been on badly organized trips, but this was amazing! Enough information was handed out before hand and, as unexpected things came up (Covid-19 national crisis) . . . . Thanks for a great trip!”
“I wouldn’t recommend any other company to plan our trips. They are well organized and always have my student’s best interest in mind. The trips I have taken with them (Hawaii, California and Florida) have always run smoothly. I can’t recommend them enough.”
