team trip- NYC March 8-11, 2024
We are traveling with the Greenlight company and they are hard at work preparing our own website we will need to use to register for this team trip. Registration will open July 27 and close the registration on the first day of school August 10. There will be a $50 registration fee at the time of registration. After the registration process, they will break down the payments into a monthly payment plan directly to the travel company.
Here are some of the plans we have for New York City:
- Wicked on Broadway
- Broadway Dance Clinic
- Tour of Radio City Music Hall
- 9/11 Memorial and Museum
- Cruise enjoying views of Lady Liberty
- Empire State Building
- Central Park
- Rockefeller Center
- Times Square
- Oculus
- Brooklyn Bridge
- Chinatown
- Breakfast daily at the hotel
- Lunch at Rockefeller Center ($20 cash back)
- Lunch at Hudson Eats ($20 cash back)
- Lunch at Paesano’s of Little Italy
Round trip airfare included in the price, price is based on the number of travelers so once we receive a count of participants and chaperones we will update everyone on the prices. The estimated price for about 40 travelers is around $2000 per person. Greenlight is also working on finding a cheaper airline company that if it comes through would bring it to around $1800. We will be doing tons of fundraisers this year and hope much of this cost will come down from the efforts of fundraising.
Directors' Corner- Ms. Ibanez & Ms. Blankenship
So excited to see our dancers perform this Thursday at Showoffs. Please meet by 5:50 in Main Gym to watch your dancer perform. Immediately following we will be eating team dinner in the cafeteria, we would love for you all to join the Raiderettes and Sapphires for some Abuelos tacos. Ticket sales for non-dancers end tonight for team dinner. Our dancers have been working so hard and learning so many routines this week, they have amazing dances to showoff. Also if you are interested in being a chaperone for our team trip to NYC be sure to be at the next booster meeting in order to sign up. - Mrs. Ibanez
