ISA Trip: Sea World, San Antonio

Team ISA is planning a trip to Sea World, San Antonio in the coming month. This is the first time that any team has taken the initiative to organize a trip of such magnitude. The trip will be a overnight one and we are striving to make it as comfortable and enjoyable for one and all.

Following are the details.

Departure From Lubbock: 29th Feb 2008 Night.
Sea World: 1st March 2008.
Arrival In Lubbock: 1st March 2008 Night.
Trip Fees: $ 40 per head.

The amount is extremely nominal. We are striving to get the majority of the trip sponsored. The amount of 40 $ includes transportation, motel stay, food and entry to Sea World. The entry to Sea World alone costs $ 45. So the amount of $ 40 for the entire trip is a steal.

There will be a limited seating of 100 people. Seats will be provided on a first-come-first-serve basis.

 Panchakriya, the five facets attributed to God (creation, preservation, destruction, illusion and salvation), will be recreated with five musical instruments with an incredible variety of Indian music. The five instruments used are three string instruments - plucked (chitraveena), strummed/struck (santoor), and bowed (violin) ? and two percussion instruments - tabla and mrudangam. There will be occasional singing (by Ravikiran). The team will create MELHARMONY (music with harmony).
