UPDATE Spring 2025: More than 50 students from across all three Rock Canyon Orchestras came together this past April for a fun, 3 day-2 night trip to Grand Junction where we performed at the Colorado West Music Invitational Music Performance Festival where we received the highest rating ("Superior") from all 3 adjudicators (and we had a ton of fun along the way...)!
The Rock Canyon Performing Arts Department believes student travel is a worthwhile, fun, and educational experience that not only develops camaraderie and confidence within the school ensemble, but also independence and maturity within each individual student.
We strive to offer travel experiences as often as possible, alternating in-state and out-of-state trips. Recent out-of-state destinations have included Disney World Orlando, Hawaii, Branson (MO), and New York City. Our favorite in-state experience is the Colorado West Invitational Music Performance Festival in Grand Junction, CO.
Whether or not we travel in a particular year depends on the program schedule and other events we have going on, but it primarily depends on how many students are interested.
