On April 24, the Chopticon band rode three buses set out for thir- teen hours travelling to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The band trip turned out to be an exciting and rewarding experience. The Chopticon Band made a lasting impression on the town of Gatlinburg and the music competitions. The band placed in all four competing events. They placed first in jazz and parade band. A disappointing second was given in marching band and a third place in concert band. The schedule was very busy between competitions but time was allotted for meals, out on the town shopping, and sightseeing. The activities included massive money spending, go-carts, parties in the hotel, squirt guns, video games, and eating at all the many restaurants. Band members, instructors, and chaperones enjoyed themselves thoroughly and have four trophies to show back home at Chopticon. Jazz Band — Front Row: Corey Wilkerson. Sandy Quade. Dawn Reamy.
