Hello all,
This is my first post, so I thought I would share an interesting tidbit about the 4 times I went to Disney with my H.S. & college marching bands.
The first was my senior year in high school at Moody High School in Alabama. Our big spring trip was to WDW that year (1995).
Later in that same year, I was a member of the Auburn University Marching Band (also in Alabama) and we went to the Outback Bowl that year (it rained ALL WEEK), stopping by at WDW on the way. Well, that was pretty neat, going twice in the same year, but the following year, we went again on our trip to Gainesville for the Auburn/Florida game. (FYI: Auburn and U. of Fla. are both SEC schools and played each year). Two years later, we went to Gainesville again and naturally stopped at Disney. Many bandmembers actually complained about going back to MK, so we went to Epcot instead on that trip. Anyway, that is how I went to WDW on 4 band trips in 5 years. The coolest part about all this, of course, is that the 3 times I went while at Auburn, the trips were "all expenses paid." It's also cool to go backstage if you've never been before.
I hope I haven't bored you all to death with this! Please reply if you have anything to say about this or have had a band trip to WDW.
