A Weekend Memory

The Choir and Dance group is safe and okay. Start with that idea and we can communicate about the New York City trip.

Because of the size of the group, students, staff and parents, we used two planes to travel to New York City. In spite of the late departure for one of them out of Minneapolis, the trip was deemed an exciting set of days together for the music students.

On the return trip the group of students delayed on the first leg of the trip experienced another set of delays. The plane experienced mechanical difficulties and landed in New York City shortly having take-off from New York City. For anyone who has ever flown, this can be a nervous situation.

The group arrived at the premature destination and spent the next couple hours in an unplanned gathering. The staff, parents and students cooperated and worked together for this to be as pleasant as it could be under the circumstances. They were provided some refreshments and efforts made to get the group moving toward Minneapolis.

Early Monday morning the music students, parents and staff arrived exhausted and tired from a long delay and then flight from New York City to home. Rather than a 10 pm return it was a 3:30 am arrival. All were safe and glad to be home.

Each trip is an experience and filled with memories and stories. This trip will provide that group of students an entire series of stories they can share and retell for many years to come. Thankfully, it has a happy ending.
