Rooming During Trips
Choir, band, or orchestra trips are important for so many of our programs, and for good reason. They can be an effective recruitment tool, as well as provide needed ensemble publicity and advocacy for the musical arts to the general public.
When I first created this site in 2020, this page was perhaps one of the most visited by music educators, reflecting the importance of the information. Since that time, I have written more fully on the topic for both the Choral Journal and Chorus Connection. Though both are written from a "choral" lens, the information provided in these articles is not choir-specific, and can be applied across specific disciplines. I believe that given the legal complexities and vast array of contexts, these articles cover the topic in the most practical way.
As such, I encourage you to read or download the full Choral Journal article from the ACDA website, while the Chorus Connection article can be found here.
For convenience, I'm providing the Choral Journal article below (though please visit the ACDA website to give them some traffic):
