Concert Choir tour Decision

Dear Parents,

We have been discussing in concert choir the possibility of going to Disney land this year for choir tour. I was not planning a large tour this year but there has been lots of motivation from the students to look in to this. Here is how it would look.

March20-23

Leave after school on March 20 and fly to LA
Hotel....Fairfield Inn which is across the street from Disneyland  (Students in Quad/Chaperones in Double)
3 Day Disney Performing Arts with one workshop and one performance per student.
3 Disney Meal Coupons
University Clinic (Hopefully at USC where we have some alumni)
Bus for group transportation in California

Cost on Alaska Airlines for package is $865.00 per student and $435.00 per chaperone with Director Free.

I would like to make a vote tomorrow to see if we can realistically make this happen and if there is motivation from the parents as well as the students.

We may be able to offer as many as 3 scholorships or 6 ½ scholerships to students depending on  how fundraising goes.

With hard work I think that we could realistically fundraise 1/3 of the cost.

Disney theme parks do an incredible job with choirs. We would most likely qualify for a feature performance at the park and we will definitely get a clinic with a Disney studio professional and possibly even get to do some recording. Then there is the theme park and that would be a lot of fun.

Please let me know if you would like to pursue this option or to consider a tour to Seattle or someplace closer.

The first payment of $200 would be due December 1^st and the final payment would be the end of January.

This is short notice and expensive but I thought I would throw it out there and see what happened. Please discuss it with your student and be ready to have them vote tomorrow.

Please know that no student will be allowed to go without passing grades in all their classes. This can be a problem if you and your student have raised a lot of money and then cant go because of grades. 

In Harmony
