School committee approves Tiverton High School band trip to New York
Summary
Committee approved a May performance and educational trip to New York City for the high‑school band; presenters said students will fundraise and pay out of pocket and that the itinerary includes a Broadway workshop, a performance aboard the Intrepid, and visits to memorials and museums.
The Tiverton School Committee unanimously approved a proposed May trip for the Tiverton High School band after faculty leaders presented an itinerary that includes a Broadway show and a behind‑the‑scenes workshop, a performance aboard the aircraft carrier Intrepid, and visits to the 9/11 Memorial and museum.
Presenters said the trip is arranged through Bennett Student Travel, which the school has used for prior music trips. Materials provided to the committee list a per‑student cost of $7.30; presenters said students will fundraise and pay the cost out of pocket. School leaders said the program will include a performance opportunity and educational components tied to the theater visit.
A committee member asked whether the district uses a travel company or books independently; presenters confirmed Bennett Student Travel handles bookings for music programs. A motion to approve the trip was made and carried by unanimous voice vote.
