The greatest time that I had in school was the trip to New York for the Macy's parade.  I remember the quality facilities (har har) at the Hotel Edison.  Getting to see Grease on Broadway (the play, not car discharge).  I have been back to New York City a few times since, two years ago getting in to the David Letterman show, But the band trip will always be high on my list of fun.
