I had shown a power point presentation of what we are going to see as well.  All the information I took from Wikpedia as well as the pictures.  You can click here to see that.

 

Our next and last fundraiser for the Germany trip is going to be the yard sale on Saturday, May 23rd.  Please collect your yard sale items.  To be able to tell everyone's items apart we will place stickers with each person's initials on them.  As items are sold we will take the sticker off and place it under that person's name.

 

 

 

 

Back in 2006, I went to Bavaria with Ron Jonson, the former assistant band director at McCants.  We visited many of the same places that we are planning to see for our Germany trip in the summer of 2009.  To see pictures and video from my trip of these places just click the the name of the place.
