Adel-DeSoto-Minburn High School band and choir will be making a special trip over the spring break period. 

The ADM High School Band and Choir travels outside of the state every four years and this year they will make a trip to Disney World in Orlando Florida. Band Teacher Russel Braun says that they take off for Florida on Friday and drive roughly 27 hours to spend six days at the entertainment park. Braun explains that choir and band will get days to work with the professional Disney musicians at Hollywood Studios along with visiting Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios. Braun describes the excitement for this trip for many of his students. 

“They’re super excited. They wanted me to start a countdown and that was already at like 60 days out. So in each day we kind of talk just a little bit about it, kind of not only about all the fun, exciting things to do, but, you know, we incorporate everything from, you know, this is what you do in this situation because we feel like this is a really good learning experience for them to kind of get on their own, but yet still be in a safe environment. But they are there. They can’t stop talking about it.”

Braun says this trip is funded through their fine arts booster program.
