If thats the best you can do, give up. directors get a free trip? Whatever. These trips are above and beyond the call of duty, and are usually for the betterment of everyone involved. pick the issue apart, but the trips and traveling make better cultured citizens. You get on trips for bands that have a purpose??? how about school field trips to roller skating rinks and bowling parties? Youth musical trips are good. i take my band on trips...I also try to make them affordable(181 bucks per student was the most expensive so far) and musically special or rewarding. Has nothing to do with kids future plans to go into music as a career...thats the best argument for the trips, as this will be the last time they will get to do something like this.
