CLASS ACT!

When we as the band directors and chaperones loaded the bus for the final time, class act is how we described Students on Broadway. We can’t imagine this trip without them. They were there from the very beginning up until the very end. It starts at the top with Jerry and extends to Aerial and Jessica for all of the organizing. We met in their office for the first time last Thanksgiving and shared what we wanted our kids to experience. They made every single detail happen and then some. JT, our tour manager, was phenomenal. He never left our side and addressed every concern we had and calmed our nerves when necessary. All five of our tour guides on the buses were beyond phenomenal. Our students gave them a genuine standing ovation this morning when checking out of our hotel. Tonight when saying goodbye, many of them were in tears. Students on Broadway is special. We were so thankful to have you on our team this week!

“SBNYC truly enabled a fantastic Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade trip experience for Jenison Bands. Communication and pre-trip planning were top notch. They were very responsive to our requests, and offered options to fit our timeline and budget. All the travel, accommodation, and meal arrangements they made suited our group very well. Their ability to manage some fairly last minute curveballs with grace and positivity was remarkable. Their tour guides are both incredibly knowledgable and very personable. Our students loved spending time with them. I would enthusiastically recommend SBNYC for any student group visiting New York – especially any marching band with the exciting privilege of performing for the Macy’s Parade!”

"Greetings and Salutations ALL! I am Professor H. Wade Johnson, Director of Bands at Benedict College in Columbia South Carolina! We cannot thank Jerry Schwartz with Students on Broadway for the "RED Carpet" experience we had in New York during our Macy's trip! Splendid Service!! We recommend that you use him for an UNFORGETTABLE experience!"

“We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. The food was great, and the space was perfect for our large group. The DJ did an excellent job and kept the kids entertained the whole evening. I cannot say enough about SBNYC. My husband & I were the booster presidents during the 2021 Macy’s trip and didn’t hesitate to recommend SBNYC to the new booster president for this year’s trip to Orlando. SBNYC’s commitment to detail and their willingness to be transparent with pricing sets them apart from all other travel companies out there. This is the 4th trip we have been involved with planning with the Centerville band. Our first two trips were with another travel company and I can honestly say SBNYC is the best student travel company I have ever had the pleasure to work with I highly recommend them to any school group planning a trip.”

“These guys are the real deal. Let me start by saying that I’ve been traveling with bands for almost 30 years and have used multiple other companies in different states traveling all over the world. I can’t even begin to tell you how unbelievable the entire team at SBNYC is. I’ve never worked with such a personal, more knowledgeable and warm hearted group dedicated to the students first. As a director I have been fortunate to participate in the Macy’s Day Parade in NYC on a three different occasions and travel quit extensively. This most recent experience with SBNYC was by far the best of all of them not only because of the detail plans that were meticulously thought out before the trip for over three years, but because of what was offered and available while on our trip...."

"It was an absolute pleasure knowing and working with you all for the past 2.5 years. Your grace and professionalism through all the crazy things, the pandemic in particular, is commendable. I can’t overstate how happy I am with the services and communication you provided to us at Union, creating an absolutely unforgettable experience for everyone involved. I can’t imagine calling upon an organization other than SBNYC for student travel to the Big Apple, and I’ll shout it from the mountaintops. You guys are top-shelf and I can say thanks enough. Here's hoping our paths cross again in the future!"
