2008 Choir Trip

EUROPE TRIP BLOG LINK:  http://shastaeurope08.blogspot.com

The Shasta High Choir will tour Europe in June, 2008 through Music Celebrations International, an Arizona-based tour company with substantial experience in leading tours for large choirs and bands. 

The 12 day, 10 night tour will include visits to:

·        Terezin Fortress and Museum of the Ghetto (the infamous Nazi concentration camp for children) and many sights during a two-day visit to Prague in the Czech Republic

·        Esterhazy Palace in Eisenstadt where many of Haydn’s works premiered

·        Three days in Vienna – the music capital of the world – with visits to historical sites such as Schoenbrunn Palace, the Imperial Apartments, and St. Stephen’s Cathedral

·        Melk Abby

·        The Fortress Hohensalzburg and Mozart’s birthplace in Salzburg in Austria

·        The Salt Mines in Hallein

·        Nymphenburg Palace in Munich in Germany

The students will perform in venues in each major city, including St. Nicholas Church in Prague and St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna.  The trip will include non-stop flights to Europe on United or Lufthansa Airlines, ground transportation by deluxe motor coach with air conditioning, qualified and knowledgeable tour guides on all busses, and daily meals consisting of full breakfast and three-course dinners. 

The cost will be approximately $3500 depending on the number of students and adults who go on the trip.  Our goal is to have up to half the cost of the trip paid for by points earned from participating in the choir program and with additional funds from student fundraisers, including Ducky Derby tickets in September and Red Apple Cookie Dough sales in October 2007.  A $100 deposit must be paid immediately by anyone planning on joining the tour; four quarterly payments of $850 are due September 1, 2007, November 1, 2007, February 1, 2008, and April 1, 2008.  Payment by credit card is available.
