CSU Marching Band in 2013 St. Pat's Parade, Dublin, Ireland

We are thrilled to be sending our daughter, a freshman trumpet player, with the Colorado State University Marching Band to represent the U.S. in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin in 2013! Trying to find a way to afford for my wife and I to go over to see this memorable moment, and maybe hit a few pub sessions in the process. But without hesitation, we’ve contributed our vacation budget to fund her expenses for this once in a lifetime opportunity! I understand it’s quite the party!

Russ,
Congrats to your daughter, yourself and your wife, a team effort to make it happen. Maybe you and the Mrs. can engage in some busking between now and the trip to help fund the travel. :laughing: Good luck, and I hope you get to attend and watch your daughter.
:thumbsup: Perhaps you could look into a swap for lodging expenses to help offset the cost of your stay?

Thanks Cayden for the kind words and suggestions for finding a way over! :slight_smile: Will definitely be looking seriously for a way to make it happen.
Cheers,

Congratulations to all of you. :slight_smile: I always enjoy hearing about the big events (once-in-a-lifetime) especially for the younger folk. Hope you can work it out for all of you to attend. :slight_smile:

Thanks ytliek! About 250 of the over 300 piece band has committed to the trip, so should be a grand site to see in the parade.
