        The Administration recommends the Board of Directors approve the proposed

        international field trip for the Cascade High School Band and Color Guard students to       participate in a concert tour of China in June 2007 (ATTACHMENT). The purpose of       the trip, along with the opportunity for the students to meet and exchange views with       those from a culture far older than ours, is the privilege of representing our country. The     trip will also provide the students with the educational opportunity to see, in person, such     historic and well-known sights as the Forbidden City, Xian, and perhaps even the Great       Wall of China. The exact date has not been determined at this time, but would be for       approximately 11 days after the end of the school year. Approximately 165 students and     40 adult supervisors would travel to China by commercial transportation. The tour would     be funded (at a cost of approximately $2,800 per traveler) by the students, their families       and fundraising activities. The tour will be organized by Heritage Festivals, a well-       known and respected organizer of youth music events.
