Band trip canceled due to recession

     Every year Tam students are given the opportunity travel all over the world through Tam’s Global Studies program. Students taking French go to France, drama students go to London, Spanish students go to Mexico and music students go to New York. Although music students are the only group to make a domestic excursion, they have an experience very different from any other class. Rather than traveling for cultural reasons alone, music students go to New York to compete in the New York Heritage Music Festival. No single music class gets to travel to New York two years in a row. Since the Symphonic Orchestra competed last year, the Choir and the Jazz Band had the chance to participate this year. However, due to the cost of the trip, the Jazz Band will not be going.
