Q1 Prep for a field trip can be brutal. What logistical support do you get, and from whom? #ElMusEd

canmaestro - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Welcome Joel, Sophie, and Tamika! #elmused

JoelWestman1 Oct 25 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: I haven't gone on one with my current school, but my school treasurer is my go-to for all things logistics. #elmused

MrsLevenberg Oct 25 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: Haven't done field trips here yet, but in the past worked with the venue and the principal on transportation, food, timing, etc #elmused

canmaestro - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 School secretary will help with some things, but I'm pretty much on my own in this regard. Home room Ts will help remind Ss #elmused

KathyKuddes Oct 25 @ 9:08 PM EDT

#elmused Hi all! Kathy from Plano

twkellyMRES Oct 25 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: My AP is the master of scheduling trips! We just talked about one today. She handles buses and I do forms. #ElMusEd

canmaestro - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Hi Kathy :) #elmused

canmaestro - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Q2 What are some time/work saving tips you can share? #elmused

KathyKuddes Oct 25 @ 9:13 PM EDT

For the big symphony trip, I arrange buses, pay for the tickets, collect numbers of Ss & Ts. Ts create permission #elmused

twkellyMRES Oct 25 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: If you typically take the same trips, having a cover letter helps and a pre-filled form. #ElMusEd

canmaestro - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2 I print payment info on an envelope and put the permission slips inside. Easy and uniform when it comes back. #elmused

KathyKuddes Oct 25 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2 - Google form to collect all relevant info. @charmsoffice for keeping track of forms collected and communication #elmused

MrsLevenberg Oct 25 @ 9:16 PM EDT

MrsLevenberg Oct 25 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A4: we perform at the PTO's Holiday Boutique. Working on some performances in the village for this year. #elmused

KathyKuddes Oct 25 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4: Retirement homes, holiday mall performances, city tree lightings #elmused

JoelWestman1 Oct 25 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4: Not with my current school, but a festival sponsored by a college with a "master class" style session after performing. #elmused

canmaestro - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Q5. What makes a concert field trip successful (Ss as audience)? #ElMusEd

JoelWestman1 Oct 25 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A5: preplanning and teaching students how to act as an audience. #elmused

twkellyMRES Oct 25 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A5: When Ss can connect the lessons to the "live " version. To hear a violin and watch it live are very different experiences. #ElMusEd

MrsLevenberg Oct 25 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A5: Choosing a performance they will identify with and get excited about. #elmused

canmaestro - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4 Retirement homes, Xmas parade, National Anthem @ HS basketball, want to do caroling but hard #ElMusEd

canmaestro - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Q6. What field trips have you planned where students neither listened nor performed? #ElMusEd

JoelWestman1 Oct 25 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Q6 question: neither listened nor performed on purpose? #elmused

KathyKuddes Oct 25 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A6: Can't think of one #ElMusEd

canmaestro - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@JoelWestman1 #elmused yes, museums, factories, shops, etc?

twkellyMRES Oct 25 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A6: We went on a symphony trip one year where my students couldn't focus because the venue was too hot (in the winter). #ElMusEd

MrsLevenberg Oct 25 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A6: None, but part of our Lincoln Center trip was a guided tour of all the theatres. #elmused

canmaestro - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:37 PM EDT

Q7 What else would you like to ask or share about #fieldtrips #ElMusEd

JoelWestman1 Oct 25 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A6, if I wasn't taking them to hear or perform, I probably wouldn't take them anywhere. too much effort to secure logistics #elmused

canmaestro - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A6 On our symphony trip a cpl yrs back we also went on a walking tour of public art, and had a picnic/kickball game #specials #ElMusEd

canmaestro - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A6 If I lived near a museum with a great instrument collection or a factory where they made instruments I would totally go #ElMusEd

canmaestro - Moderator Oct 25 @ 9:40 PM EDT

Thanks for sharing your #ElMusEd ideas tonight! See you 'round the #twitterverse !!

twkellyMRES Oct 25 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A7: Don't forget to include your special needs students on field trips. They deserve those experiences as well. #ElMusEd

JoelWestman1 Oct 25 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A7 question: Any field trip ideas specific to k-5? #elmused

JEcleMusic Oct 25 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A5 Have the S watch an audience etiquette video https://t.co/ryCjt3nDn4 and ask them them what does a good/bad audience member do #ElMusEd

msmusiced Oct 25 @ 9:53 PM EDT

Don't have anything to contribute on field trips- I only have an annual Symphony Day. I'll check out the feed #ElMusEd
