Almost immediately after learning of his chorale's selection, Cobb began phoning some parents to make sure the support would be there for fundraising, logistics and chaperones. Trip manager Claudia Craig works with a core of eight or 10 parents plus numerous others on various committees to make sure the trip goes off without a hitch. A series of car washes, bake sales and pizza sales got the ball rolling and this winter things heat up with additional fundraising events. Other events are scheduled for after the trip to help with the costs. For the parents involved, all the work is well worth it to give their children this opportunity.
Traverse City has a phenomenal music department, both at the high school and junior high levels.
