Disney Field Trip Information

The Advanced & Ensemble members are invited to participate in the most amazing, education, musical and fun experience called the Disney Imagination Campus Stage Performance or the Film Scoring Workshop. Click here for information. This is a cost program and we will look into multiple options for families.

All groups will meet in front of school at 8:30 AM, leave Newhart at 8:45 AM and return between 8:30-8:45 PM. For time in the park or the workshop, wear your current music T-shirt and blue jeans. If we are performing on the Disney's California Backlot Stage, we will be wearing our full, complete, and correct concert attire. We will go over the details with the students during class approximately 2-3 weeks prior.

If it's raining, we still go. Disney will not cancel a workshop due to rain, but may or may not cancel a performance depending on how much rain is expected. Regardless, we will be going. We recommend jackets, ponchos or umbrellas.

Students will need to wear their correct concert outfit for picture day, tape day, Winter Concert, and for the actual performance. Following the performance the students will be expected to wear their current Newhart T-shirts with jeans (or jean shorts/skirts) and tennis/gym shoes.

What about chaperones?

We need 1 adult for every 10 students (parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles) willing drive large vehicles to store instruments & percussion equipment. Official Chaperones will be chosen on a first-come, first-serve basis when permission slips are given to the students approximately 3-4 weeks prior to the planned trip. Chaperone's are given a free ticket to enter the park but must be willing to help us throughout the day. We will give more details closer to the event. Chaperones must be an annually Tier II or Tier 1 Volunteers. To be a Tier II (easier clearance), please fill out this form every year and select Newhart (https://form.jotform.com/caljohnson/volunteer). If you volunteered many years back, you should still be in our system as a Tier I or Tier II volunteer but you may still need to fill out that form and include Newhart as a school you would like to participate at. Thank you in advance!

If we pass the audition, the performance times will be announced by Disneyland approx. 2-3 weeks in advance of our performance date.
