I took my chorus to perform at Disney yesterday. When I got to school, it was like a monsoon...it was raining SO hard. I was thinking of cancelling the trip...but I looked up the weather and it was HUGE storm that had almost all the way moved off the coast so I ended up not cancelling...by 9:00 A.M. it had cleared up.

We went to Epcot first...we were walked in the back entrance and didn't need a ticket (perk of performing at Disney...you get in for free!). The kids got to split into groups and go on whatever rides they wanted to do.

Then we met at the front entrance and bused to Downtown Disney to warm up at their warm up facility. Once the kids were warmed up and they were changed into their uniforms, we spent a while actually getting TO the stage.

When we were performing, it started the drizzle rain but it never got heavy. The kids did an amazing job even with 15 of them not there! I had one girl step up to do a solo last minute since a girl who originally had the solo didn't show up for the trip (even though she told me she was going >.<). She did a great job. I'm a proud music teacher :)

We also got this really cool Mickey Mouse trophy to display at school!

Overall - I survived bringing my kids on their first MAJOR field trip. I'm happy it went well and I am happy it is done LOL
