Have you ever gone somewhere that you wish you never had to leave? Somewhere that, upon your departure, you felt a piece of your soul being left behind without you. This amazing feeling is how I felt on my bus trip to beautiful San Francisco, California. In March 2017, I got to go for a band trip with my eccentric friends, talented music students from another school, and two dedicated music teachers.
