Travel is such an amazing educational enrichment experience and the opportunity for our students to perform on such a beautiful stage is a once in a lifetime moment. Typically 80-90% of our students travel on these big trips which only happen in even years. We know this is a big decision but our program has taken many trips over the last 20 years and every one of them has been so rewarding that it keeps us continuing to work hard and make these trips happen for our students. If you have any questions please email Mrs. Lewis: LLewis@rjuhsd.us

Student Information
Student Information
Students will perform on stage in Chicago's Symphony Hall as well as work with a college band director for a 90-minute workshop. They will also have the opportunity to enjoy some of Chicago's most famous Deep Dish Pizza, see some of the iconic Chicago sights & landmarks (Chicago Institute of Art, and the Skydeck among many others), and go to a show!
Please check the packing list and trip Itinerary for full details!
Family Information
Family Information
Hotel: If you are planning to go to Chicago and are not a chaperone, please book yourself at a different hotel from the students. This makes it much easier & safer for the students as there is a clear separation from their family which helps the kids know that they need to go to their chaperone if they need any help with anything, and helps the chaperones keep better supervision over the students.
You are of course welcome & encouraged to attend the public concert and support the students!
