2001-2002 Recap – OHIO

Originally, our 2002 trip was to be Walt Disney World, but because of the attacks on September 11, 2001, it was in the best interest and safety of our students and parents not to fly. Instead, we traveled 9½ hours to Ohio. Under the direction of Mr. Vitkovsky, Mr. Cundari, and Mr. Zellea we received many excellent and superior ratings in the music competitions. We also visited Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

2000-2001 Recap – ANNAPOLIS

In 2001 our music trip was to Annapolis, Maryland. Mr. Vitkovsky, Mr. Cundari, and Mr. Zellea led our music students to victory in our music competitions. While in Maryland we visited the US Naval Academy and Six Flags America. We also had a guided tour of Washington, DC and had a brief stop at the Smithsonian Institute (because of renovations, we were unable to completely tour the museum). Before returning home to NJ, we stopped at Baltimore Inner Harbor.
