Thornburg-Tuggle Onl 16 tour Washington Band takes trip to Durango Fine Arts Festival Flight 248 into Washington from Dallas-Fort Worth now preparing to land. Many groups decided to take trips for some purpose or another. Some for competition, class related travel. One such group for seeing historical sites was the government classes. Fifteen seniors and one junior went on the annual government trip to Washington, D.C. The group left with Mrs. Jo Pennington and Mr. Pat Pruitt on May 4 and were gone for a total of four travel days. The flew American Airlines from DXFW and landed at Washington National Airport. The trip cost 3489, which included bus, transportation, and meals. To help lower the cost students sold candy, cork boards, and strawberry items. Those who sold merchandise got credit toward their own cost. The group stayed at the Ramada Inn in Alexandria, Virginia. For three days they had their own tour bus and driver for transporta- tion. On the agenda was the capitol, Supreme Court, Ford's Theatre, and the FBI Building. Also the Smithsonians were toured. Items such as the first ladies' gowns, George Washington's uniforms, Bell's telephone and Whitney's cot- ton gin were viewed. At the Arlington National Cemetery Mona Shaw and Neal Quimby laid a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Besides Washington the government trip usually includes a short trip to another city or historical site. The group was going to Philadelphia, but there had to be 20 for a tour bus and money and time would not permit such a trip. The trip is hard because we are nonstop the whole time. We considered this when deciding to go somewhere else, Mrs. Penn- ington commented. The band also went on an excursion to Durango, Colorado. Their purpose was to com- pete nationally in the Durango Fine Arts Festival. They flew to Albuquerque and took chartered buses into Colorado. The Tammaron Resort in the San Juan Mountains housed the band for the four dayfthree night trip. Funds for the trip came from various fundraising pro- jects and private donations. The mornings were used for rehearsals and competition. Afternoons and evenings were spent doing numerous outdoor activities. Some went mountain climbing, bicycling, swimming, snow tubing, playing tennis, or shopping. Others relaxed in the jacuzzi bath or hot tub. The ski slopes were closed. In competition the symphonic band earned straight division I ratings and were rewarded a large trophy for best in classf' The concert band also won straight division I ratings. If I had written a script in advance for the trip, things could not have gone smoother, Mr. Dee Tucker, band director, saidl David Thornburg Deanna Thornburg Clifford Tice Sheila Tillerey David Tobey Kenny Todd Tracy Tomerlin Ed Trayford Mary Trimble Carla Tuggle SENIORS
