We are leaving for Taiwan!!!!! Last May, a delegation from Yilan, Taiwan cam to Richard Montgomery HS and heard our Jazz Ensemble. A few weeks later, we were invited to perform in the Yilan International Arts Festival (http://yiaf.e-land.gov.tw/en/)
This music festival is comprised of groups from around the world. All the expense in Taiwan are covered (room, board, food, performance details). We just needed to cover airfare. The Rockville Sister City Corporation RSCC) which facilitated the Yilan visit generously helped deflect some of this cost, and made this an opportunity too good to pass up.
While in Yilan, we will be performing 2-3 concerts a day, participating in cultural exchanges with Taiwanese students, checking out the local cultural and really experiencing Yilan.
My hope here is to document our travels and provide our RM Family a look at our escapades. Check back!!!!
