Fall is considered "shoulder season" in many locales. What does this mean for you? Costs for major travel components such as transportation and accommodations are discounted meaning direct savings for your students. It also means that there is greater availability of popular attractions and restaurants, and smaller crowds.
Visiting Walt Disney World® Resort or Disneyland in the fall provides performance and educational possibilities plus shorter lines and more time to enjoy the hottest new rides! The Walt Disney World® Candlelight Processional for choral groups begins in November and proceeds throughout December.
New York theater, clinics and workshops are available year round, and hotels often offer discounted rates in the Fall. Many shows have better availability during the
fall and in some cases staying in the city becomes much more affordable.
The Nations Day Parade (November 11) and Macy's Thanksgiving parade in New York City, Hollywood Christmas Parade in California, and the State Street Thanksgiving Parade in Chicago (all in November) are just a few of the special events for marching bands.
Fall is an excellent time for performing tours that include clinics or workshops at Colleges and Universities, school visits and public performances. Many times groups can perform at a better location or have a top named clinician in the fall due to better availability.
