Derek,
I think this is a wonderful idea! Students need to be aware of the other musical experiences going on in their area. One thing to think about, if you have an elementary/junior high group would be to take them to see high school performances. Usually those performances are free, and the elementary school children should find them enjoyable. I wonder if there is a way for any type of travelling professional group to come to your school? I think the Cleveland Opera has a group of people who specifically come to schools to perform. Something to look into...

You might also want to have the local high school band, orchestra and/or choir come and perform for the younger students. This might help to get them involved in one of these activities down the road! :)
