TRAVEL IDEAS FOR 2015...CLEVELAND 
Cleveland offers an amazing amount of performance and educational opportunities. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is devoted to the legendary artists of rock n' roll music and offers stage performances.  Include a factory tour of Gotta Groove Records to see hard vinyl records cut or Blue Arrow Records to view a floor covered with vintage album covers.  Discover the Great Lakes Science Museum and the Greater Cleveland Aquarium with performance opportunities.  Include a meal at Hard Rock Caf� or House of Blues.  Nearby excursions include a tour of the Football Hall of Fame or Cedar Point Amusement Park. 
Here's what an Illinois Director said regarding a Cleveland tour.
"I still think back to the day I sat in an auto mechanic shop waiting for my truck to get done, calling various student travel companies in an attempt to find an experience worthy of true learning through music, and worthy of proposing to my superiors.  I still remember all of the companies that did not take my request seriously...and the one company that did - Good News Tour & Travel. 
I cannot thank you enough for all of the tremendously hard work I put you through researching and revising (and revising, and revising) an itinerary that truly had the impact I hoped for...and then some.  One of my clarinet students told me this morning, "I knew it was going to be a fun trip, but I had no idea it would exceed what I thought it would be". 
UP COMING CONFERENCES
We look forward to seeing you at the following music conferences.  Please stop to visit.
