This spring, The Music Learning Foundation heads to  beautiful mountain resort of Keystone, Colorado for an outstanding Concert Tour and Ski Trip!  The Spring Tour & Ski Trip is a great way for band members and their families to experience the thrill of traveling with the band and performing for new audiences.  The tour will feature the Beginner Band, Concert Band, Studio Honor Band, and the Jazz Honor Band.

This will be Music Learning’s 27th Spring Tour, and our 3rd ski trip!  This event is fun for all students and their parents.  Many families make the spring tour a family event bringing along siblings and grandparents.  Traveling “on the road” with a band offers students the opportunity to build lasting memories with their friends as well as experience the thrills and work involved in performing for large audiences. 

There is so much to do on the Spring Tour!  In addition to the social and musical benefits of the tour, we also sneak in some natural science lessons along the way.  On our way to Keystone we travel beneath the Continental Divide  through the Eisenhower Tunnel!  We will see first hand the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains. 

Did we mention that we’d also be skiing? Of course the main reason for the Spring Tour is to perform, but the students and their parents attend the Spring Tour for another reason too – ITS FUN!  In addition to concerts, participants will have time to make new friends and show off their musical skills to audiences in Colorado!  After a busy concert tour, it is always fun to relax.  We do that by spending 4 full days skiing in Keystone, CO! Don’t miss this year’s Spring Concert Tour & Ski Trip in Keystone, Colorado!

Travel Logistics

For the Music Learning Foundation 2012  Spring Tour & Ski Trip, all parents and students will travel by chartered motorcoach from a central location in Dallas & Ft. Worth, to Keystone, CO and back.  Our scheduled transportation this year is planned to feature comfortable seating, a DVD player on each bus, Satellite television, Wi-Fi, and more.  Because the Spring Tour & Ski Trip is a complete package, it is difficult to split up transportation from the rest of the tour.  Our itinerary also features short stops to and from Keystone, so you’ll want to be with us on the tour to take advantage of all the concert performances and attractions that make up the Spring Tour & Ski Trip.  There is an option to fly this year as well.

When we arrive in Keystone, CO, we will stay in a ski lodge on Keystone Mountain.  Occupancy and package price is based on 4 to 6 people per room.  If you are interested in a private room, that option may be available on a limited basis for an additional fee.  The rooms at our hotel are comfortable for this occupancy.  While in Keystone, breakfast and dinner are included in the price for the Spring Tour. Please help us plan our best trip ever by following one of the registration schedules in this flyer.

Everyone performs on the Spring Tour & Ski Trip.  First year beginner band members, 2nd and 3rd year Concert Band members, and the Honor Bands will all perform multiple times throughout the band tour.

An important part of our annual Spring Tour is concert performance.  In addition to our big concerts, members of the Jazz and Studio Band will also perform as small jazz ensembles at different times throughout the Spring Tour.

Let’s Hit the Slopes! There will be plenty of time to go skiing in Keystone.  This year’s trip includes ski rentals and lift tickets for 3 full days of skiing with the option to ski a 4th day too while we are in Keystone.  With our hotel so close to the slopes, you should be able to ski and ice skate all day!  You can also upgrade your ski rental to a snowboard rental and use either skis or a snowboard!

Don’t know how to ski yet?     No problem!  You can easily add a half day ski lesson to your trip.  After that you’ll be all set to ski the rest of the trip!
