Band Trip 2010 by Katie Davis On April 14 th sixty-nine members of the Giles Marching Spartans departed Giles High School for their spring band trip. The destination for the trip was Williamsburg, Virginia. After arriving in Williamsburg on Wednesday night, the band participated in a “ghost walk” of Historic Williamsburg. The guided tour lasted about two hours. Our guide told stories of unusual “happenings” and sightings. Thursday found the band visiting the Nauticus Museum in Norfolk where they toured the WWII Battle Ship Wisconsin. Everyone was excited to enjoy an afternoon in Virginia Beach that included beach volleyball, basketball, tennis, and fun in the sun. Later that afternoon the band members enjoyed a hotdog lunch hosted by the G.H.S. chaperones. Thursday evening was filled with fun as the band members boarded the American Rover “tall sailing boat” at Norfolk for a two hour cruise up the Elizabeth River. While on the boat, everyone enjoyed pizza and a night full of dancing. Friday, the sixty nine anxious band members finally got to spend the day in Colonial Williamsburg. After hours of walking, the band returned to the Great Wolf Lodge. The remainder of the day was spent at the hotel’s indoor water park, arcade, and preparing for the evenings’ formal concert performance at Bruton High School in Williamsburg. The band had a fun filled Saturday at Busch Gardens that was capped off with the competition awards ceremony. The Giles High School Band received first place Concert Band in Division A, Top Concert Band in All Divisions, and was the only band to receive a Superior rating. After the awards, the tired students boarded buses for the return trip home. “The band represented Giles High School wonderfully with their character, and manners, as well as, with their performances.” -Mr. White
