2025 Busch Gardens
Give your middle school band, high school band or other music group performance a boost with a student trip experience at Busch Gardens Williamsburg! This unique program seamlessly blends a positive, non-competitive music education opportunity with the thrills and excitement of a world-class theme park. It's the perfect way to motivate your students and create lasting memories. The day begins with performances at a nearby, professional-grade venue, where your band will receive valuable feedback from experienced adjudicators. These experts will provide both written and digitally recorded comments, offering constructive criticism and highlighting your students' musical strengths. Following the performance, your group will participate in an educational clinic led by one of the adjudicators and receive a Director/Award plaque with a rating (Gold, Silver, or Bronze). Outstanding soloist trophies may also be awarded.
The real adventure begins immediately after the performance and awards presentation! Your band will head to Busch Gardens Williamsburg, where they'll enjoy "Scores of Fun" exploring the park's thrilling rides, captivating shows, and immersive themed lands. From roller coasters that twist and turn to family-friendly attractions, Busch Gardens offers something for every student. This combination of musical achievement and theme park excitement makes for an unforgettable group performance trip.
A typical itinerary starts with an early morning departure for the performance venue. After warming up and taking the stage, your band will participate in the clinic and awards ceremony. The afternoon is then dedicated to exploring the wonders of Busch Gardens, conveniently located nearby. The evening concludes with boarding buses for the return trip home, with students filled with pride and renewed inspiration for their musical endeavors.
"PAC for a Day" offers a realistic and reasonable cost, making it an accessible and enriching experience for all student music groups.
