Yesterday, the music department took a bus full of band, orchestra and choir students to Europa Park, the amusement park just north of Freiburg.
I chaperoned a group of 4 girls and 2 boys, most of whom are in Intermediate Orchestra. It was a fun, adventurous group – they all wanted to ride the biggest roller coasters.
A highlight of the day for me was riding my favorite roller coaster, the Blue Fire, twice! The line was relatively short around lunch time, so we jumped on the opportunity to ride it twice!
The one big coaster I didn’t go on was the Silver Star. Most of our group went, but my brave little 11-year-old cellist was 1 centimeter too short to ride it (see above picture), so I waited with her. At the end of the day, we were all exhausted and happy. The weather was great, the rides were exciting, and the kids were able to spend a fun day with friends.
