What clubs/bars are a must go in Europe?

How do I convince my parents to let me go to Europe with my school band? ?

• My highschool's entertainment unit is going to Europe in summer of 2013. And i really really really really reallllllyyyy wanna go. Like really. It's always been my dream to go to Europe and this is like a perfect opportunity!! Were going there to perform and to Have fun. We're going to 7 major cities in Europe and its a pretty amazing trip. The only thing is its pretty expensive. It's $4330 dollars to go but it includes hotel, plane, food, and travel guides and stuff. But you must bring your own money for lunch and shopping. My parents won't let me go because it's too expensive. But I really really wanna go. I have the money in my bank account that I've been saving up since like first grade. I asked them if I could just use my own money to go and they said no. How do you think I should convince my parents? They're very stubborn by the way. Once they say no, it's most likely a 100% no. But I really really really want to go. I can't EVEN EXPLAIN how badly I want to go. Please help! ): I only have two more days left to register for the trip

  I hope they change their minds! Here is what you should do: tell them it's a once in a lifetime experience, consider getting a job to offset the cost, and don't get all angry if they say no, but act mature. Honestly, $4330 is a good price, considering it everything that it covers and that you have over a year to pay it. Seriously, what better way will you spend summer of '13? I say, go for it! I'm going to Europe next spring with my high school. When I told my mom about it, I made sure she knew how much this trip meant to me, I told her that I'll find a way to pay for it if she won't, that she wouldn't have to get me anything for my birthday, and that I'll never ask for anything again. She ended up saying yes :) sooo, remember Pathos (Emotion), Ethos (Ethics-describing your good character and credibility), and Logos (Logic about the trip, and understanding their point of view) when persuading your parents. I hope this works! And if it doesn't, there's always after high school :)
