A few weeks ago the band went on an amazing trip to Gatlinburg, TN. We went to attend the Smokey Montain Music Festival. Both bands and the orchestra did great! It was a long drive and a lot of fundraising but it was all worth it.
The first day of the trip felt soooo long! There was so much scenery throughout the eight hour drive. When we finally got to the Dixie Stampede we were all hungry and bored out of our minds. The show, along with the food was great! It was a really good time. We finally got to the hotel and checked in. We got a few hours of free time so we decided to walk down the strip and see what Gatlinburg had to offer.
Friday was the big performance day. I just wanted to play and get it over with so we explore more of Gatlinburg. After the first performance Alaina, Kristine and I walked around and grabbed some lunch. We went back to the convention center for the Symphonic and Orchestra performances. After the awards ceremony we returned to the hotel and changed into casual clothes and once again hit the streets.
I was really sad to have to leave Gatlinburg on Saturday. Before we left we took a tore of the Smokey Mountains. It was sooo beautiful! The views were spectacular! I really want to go back sometime and get to see all of the things I didn't get to see this time!
