Hi my name is Trey and I am in 8th grade. I have a 22 yr old sister in college and an 18 yr old brother in high school. We have 1 cat, fish, 2 rats (they are mine) and my brother has a snake but my mom don't like it. We did have a dog too but he just passed away. I know we have a zoo!
There are many things I like to do. Golf is one sport of mine and I have been on the team for the past two years. My goal is to become a pilot when I am older. I have been able to attend two aviation camps the past two summers. I will miss this year because the price went up. I really liked baseball too but didn't make the team this year. I also like airsoft and went to my first airsoft field a couple weeks ago.
I have been in band for the past two years too. I play the trumpet. I'm in the regular band and Jazz band. This summer I will join the Ben Davis Marching Giants for my first year in marching band. I am so excited to be part of such a huge band that have earned so many awards. This November the band is invited to perform in Philadelphia in the Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Since I will be joining the band this summer, I am eligible to go too. It isn't a cheap trip... but for all we get to do I think it is worth it. The trip is from November 26th to December 1st. We get to perform in Philadelphia and then visit New York City. We will be visiting: Historic District, Reading Terminal, Independence Hall and City Tavern in Philadelphia. In New York City: Dinner Cruise, Grand Central Station, The American Museum of Natural History, Times Square, Radio City Music Hall, 9/11 Memorial, One World Observatory, Chinatown/Little Italy and watch a Broadway Show.
As you can see it is going to be a once in a lifetime trip and I am even more excited now just by writing about it. I can't imagine walking down the street playing my trumpet in an actual parade and getting to do and see things I haven't before. Not only do I get to do all of these things but as a school we get to represent our school, band and state.
This is why I need help. It took my mom about two months to finally agree to let me do this. We do what we can when we can but we don't ask for help. I've always heard those words but I really want to go. My mom and dad always help people any way they can. We even ask for donations to pass out to the homeless every year. We weren't able to do it this winter though because my grandma is sick and my mom was too busy.
The price includes the charter bus, hotels, all meals and everything we get to do. The price per person isn't final yet but it says this: 115 passengers - $1632 per person, 135 passengers - $1545 per person, 155 passengers - $1594 per person and 175 passengers - $1532 per person. It says that is based on a double hotel room. It also says a triple or quad hotel room would lower the price per person.
I am hoping to raise enough money to get to go but maybe also that my parents can come see me perform. Even if they only get to drive there and watch me and then drive back home. My mom would want to video and take tons of pictures. They have never been either. Any extra money after that would stay in my band account at school and I can use it for another band event in the future.
Please help me get to Philadelphia! If you can't give I understand but will you share this with your friends and family for me? Thank you and I can't wait to show all of you what I got to do thanks to all of you guys!
