  • “I highly recommend Troubadour Consultants. Troubadour is a family-owned and band director-run company which sets them apart from the competition. I have used John Mize and his team for my groups for more than 15 years, and have never been disappointed. When it comes to traveling with your ensemble, you will get a first-class trip that is designed for your group when you use Troubadour. My friend, John, is always available to talk and plan when I need him. Every group that works with Troubadour gets a nice custom trip, that is well-planned from an educator’s perspective. You will not be disappointed to let these guys take care of you and your group’s next big trip!!”

    ~ Chris Brannan, Director of Bands and Fine Arts at Barbers Hill ISD

  • “Troubadour Consultants is a terrific travel company. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We have used them for several years and have been very pleased with the outstanding service. I have known John for decades. He is the hardest-working person in the business. He will do whatever it takes to make your trip as smooth as possible. You cannot go wrong by using this company. You will be very pleased with every single aspect. 5 stars!”

    ~ Mark Poole, Director of Bands and Fine Arts Chair at Lone Star ISD

  • “As a retired Director of Bands and Fine Arts for Canton ISD, I’ve been fortunate to enjoy the outstanding resources regarding travel, student motivational team building, teacher mentoring, and the exceptional professionalism John Mize and Troubadour Consultants have provided me over the last twenty-five years! John and Amber Mize are dedicated Texas educators with many years of experience, who demonstrate expert care and guidance, for my own and my colleague’s travel needs in Texas, the US, and abroad! Trust, knowledge, and enthusiasm best describe Troubadour Consultants and the services they provide. I am thankful for my professional association and friendship with John, Amber, and Troubadour Consultants! Regarding school travel needs and educational resources, Troubadour is a great choice!”

    ~ Rob Toups, Former Director of Bands and Fine Arts at Canton ISD

  • “My high school band has traveled from one end of America to the other with Troubadour Consultants over the last 20 years and every trip was AWESOME! John Mize (a former band director of 30+ years) and his wife Amber, were always well prepared and built a trip that was educational, fun, AND COST-EFFECTIVE for my students. These were not cookie-cutter, one "trip" fits all, pre-planned packages. John and Amber used their knowledge of large group travel, John's experience as a band director, as well as my suggestions to craft an itinerary each year that was always special. Students, parents, and staff always returned with memories that will be savored for a lifetime from the trips Troubadour Consultants created. I highly recommend Troubadour Consultants to anyone considering group travel! They offer top-notch service!”

    ~ Brandon Brewer, Director of Fine Arts at Princeton ISD

  • “I have been using Troubadour Consultants for over 10 years. John is awesome to work with and is very patient and flexible. He puts together fantastic trips and packages that our students remember the rest of their lives. The Washington D.C. and Colorado packages were amazing and our students, parents, and staff members had a blast!”

    ~ Jon Weddle, Director of Bands at Celina ISD  

  • “John and Amber with Troubadour Consultants have been an invaluable partner for the China Spring High School Band, making our State Marching Contest and out-of-state trips seamless and unforgettable. Their meticulous planning, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence ensure that every aspect of our travel experience—transportation, accommodations, meals, and scheduling—is handled flawlessly. They alleviate stress for our directors, parents, and students, allowing us to focus on our performances and enjoy the journey. Their dedication to creating safe, organized, and exciting trips makes them the best in the business. I highly recommend Troubadour Consultants for any band travel needs!”

    ~ Marc Nichelson, Director of Bands at China Spring ISD

  • “We have been using Troubadour Consultants for many years, and they are as professional as it gets. The ease to schedule and communicate with them on setting up a trip is the one-on-one service you want when traveling with your group. Our families have valued their help in making payments and we only have great things to say about them. We will continue using Troubadour Consultants for many years to come.”

    ~ Jason Smith, Director of Bands at Princeton ISD

  • “The Canton Band has been using Troubadour Consultants since they first started in the travel industry and continues to use them to this day. They always give honest and fair pricing when putting our package together, as well as great advice about where we are travelling. One of the best parts of using Troubadour is you can customize your trip as much or as little as you want. They are accommodating and will meet your needs or special requests. Troubadour is always available while on your trip if a question comes up, and they always call while you are on the road to make sure everything is good. Troubadour is definitely a top notch company that takes care of the details and has always been there for our program.”

    ~ Mike Bartley, Director of Bands at Canton ISD
