Group Trips & Trip Credits

Every 2 years, the South Band & Orchestra travels for the opportunity to perform in unique venues, participate in workshops with leading musicians, and tour cities and countries. The trips alternate between domestic (such as Nashville in 2026, New York and California) and international (such as Poland/Czech/Austria in 2025, Italy and Germany).

In 2026, the Band & Orchestra students went to Nashville for fun, food, and of course performances. With its’ rich texture, history and world-known cuisine, Nashville provided the students with a perfect way to immerse themselves in a city with such a musical legacy.

In 2025, the Band & Orchestra students were given a chance to travel international to Europe, visiting and performing in Krakow, Poland, Brno, Czech, and Vienna, Austria. As you can imagine this is a once-in-a lifetime experience for our student musicians to see the world, and experience different cultures and cuisine.

To help offset the cost of trips, students can earn credits (money applied to their trip cost). There are various ways to earn these credits, including:
• Participating in various fundraiser sales such as the mattress sale, Charleston Wrap holiday program, etc.
• Selling advertising for the Pops & Pastries program.
