We love young people and we love great music which is why we love providing transportation for the Walla Walla Valley Academy Orchestra. As you can imagine, it can be difficult to get a group of over 30 musicians and their instruments from point A to point B for their concerts. We have adequate storage for the larger instruments and plenty of seats so the whole group can travel together.
Under the direction of Benjamin Gish, these talented young people share their musical gifts with not only our local community, but with communities across the state, and even in foreign countries. (Last summer they spent 10 days performing in Vienna, Salzburg, and Prague.)
Recently, we had the pleasure of taking them to the Seattle area where they performed for residents of a nursing home and two different churches.
However, this trip was not all work and no play. They were given the wonderful opportunity to go to a performance of the Seattle Symphony while they were there. We look forward to going on more trips with them.
After a long bus drive filled with movies, food, and general merriment, the Whitman women’s soccer team arrived at their hotel in Tigard with their sights set on a win for the next day. Their final game of the season against Willamette was on everyone’s mind. It was the team’s last chance to prove to the conference that despite a less-than-optimal record, the 2011 Whitman team was a force to be reckoned with.
Also, we recently set up a booth at the Marcus Whitman Hotel for their annual Bridal Show. It was great fun meeting over 40 brides who may use our buses to transport their party to the rehearsal dinner, and their guests from the hotel to and from the wedding & reception. This way everyone arrives on time, and gets back to the hotel safely without any tickets. There was great interest in our New Vintage Limo (coming soon!) This car will hold 10 passengers and will be perfect for local weddings, wine tours, and for a fun night out on the town!
