Dear Band Students and Family,

Participating groups are chosen on the basis of recommendation from state and national music educators, governors' and senators' offices and by audition. We intend to leave Thursday, April 11th, and return on Sunday, April 14th, 2013. We will leave Union Pines on a charter bus in route to the Charlotte International Airport where we will continue our journey to San Antonio via air travel. Some of the highlights of the trip include a performance as part of the National Festival of the States, and a sightseeing tour will include The Alamo, Market Square- El Mercado, The Riverwalk, the Tower of the Americas, the Spanish Governors Palace, and San Fernando Cathedral- where the remains of Davy Crocket, Col.
