San Francisco Orchestra and Band Trip

San Francisco A Whirlwind Trip March 23-27 2011
The Students boarded two buses at the high school after school on Wednesday evening at 6pm. The bus hit the road at 6:30pm. They drove all night, crossing over Donners pass, which required chains on the busses and driving a maximum of 30 mph. Which meant that they arrived in San Francisco Late on the following morning. They were scheduled to meet and perform at Amador Valley High School, a local high school. The weather was very rainy when they did arrive at the High School.  Only one bus of students stayed at the high school. The other bus went to the airport to pick up the tour director. The Band students watched the  HS. Orchestra perform. They did a great job. They were very professional. Very Impressive!! If anyone has the opportunity to listen to the students perform from Amador Valley High School, do not miss the opportunity!! It was absolutely wonderful!!!

Dinner was an interesting experience. It was a self serve buffet. The food was delicious.
What was interesting was holding your plate and filling it, while trying to maintain your balance as the boat was going up and down with the waves. The students loved the evening. Everyone danced and sang Karaoke through out the evening.  It was a fun fun evening. Everyone had a wonderful time.





Ghiradelli Square was just DELICIOUS!!!!
