Unforgettable student travel band tours with expertly planned performance trips, safe group transportation, and educational music experiences for school bands

A‑1 Tours offers a wide range of band programs across the country, giving student groups the chance not only to perform but also to explore some incredible cities. Imagine a trip to Nashville, where students can perform outside the Grand Ole Opry and visit fun attractions like Madame Tussauds or the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Orlando is another fantastic destination for bands. One day might be spent spotting alligators at Gatorland, and the next performing or attending workshops at The Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, or even SeaWorld. Branson, MO, brings its own special flair with one‑of‑a‑kind performance opportunities. Groups can take the stage at the American Theater—an impressive performing arts venue—or entertain audiences at the legendary Silver Dollar City, one of America’s most beloved theme parks.

Many traveling bands also like to add extra experiences to make the trip even more memorable. In addition to arranging performance opportunities, A‑1 Tours is happy to help plan activities such as guided tours, theater outings, and museum visits. Every itinerary is customized to your group’s unique interests.
