This trip cost over S90,000, which meant that students had to raise about S400 each through various fundraising projects. These started last year with Easter bunnies and continued through the year. Even after the fundraising had been done, some students had to add their own cash to make up for the funds they had not been able to meet through the various projects. The students worked through the regular football season appear- ances for the school and practiced up until the time they were to leave for California. The trip began as band members, chaperones and guests boarded their Air Capital airplane at Kansas City international Airport. Upon arrival the travelers went to the beach, ate at the Farmer's Mar- ket and participated at the Winston Tire Classic Basketball game.

The next day was spent at Disney- land. The band performed at the be- ginning ofthe day and then split up to see the sights. Another day was spent at Universal Studios. Students were able to see sound stages and various sets. Another day was spent shopping at the Pasadena shopping mall. New Year's Eve dinner was celebrated on The Queen Mary where gifts and awards were presented to various members. New Year's Day came early as ev- eryone had to wake up at 3 a.m. They were on the buses by 6 a.m. in order to wait for the parade to start. The pa- rade route was nine and one-half miles long. You could tell that everyone was getting really tired at the end because the drum cadence started out really snappy and ended sounding more like a grave march, said Terri Barnes. After this the travelers prepared themselves for the trip back to Blue Springs as they stuffed away souve- nirs, post cards and other memorabilia purchased from the trip. As for next year, no plans are being made yet. But we didn't know about the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade until the beginning of that year, said Mr. Watts. Rose Parade 27
