You can get a glimpse inside the high schoolers' big trip.

The H-F Symphonic Band and Jazz Band are on the trip of a lifetime, to China.

The group raised an estimated $50,000 to make the trip happen, now follow their journey through the group's blog, updated as often as the students can find the time.
