i think it's rather indicative of our bus trips that i have nearly no memory of this, or most things that are purported to have happened at any time on Bus 3. i have hazy recollections of people being reverse-fleshpiled, and i do remember the time the A/C broke on the way back from UNC because we were all entirely too sober.
two more words: naked bus! |

I don't know about total distance, but the Sugar Bowl trip where the bus broke down in Gatlinburg felt like the longest trip in the history of motorized travel...

The correct answer is: Ft. Lauderdale .
According to Google Maps, Ft. Lauderdale is 995 miles from Charlottesville.
The Pep Band traveled to Ft. Lauderdale for the MPC Computer bowl in 1999, when the Cavaliers took on University of Illinois. After performing at the U.Va.- Virginia Tech basketball game in Roanoke, the band jumped on the bus to travel directly to Ft. Lauderdale the next day, a 23 hour trip. |
