Guardian and Angel Trip to Los Angeles!
Dear Guardian and Angel Families,
We're thrilled to share the fantastic news – the Guardians and Angels are gearing up for an unforgettable trip to Los Angeles! Every other year, we embark on an out-of-state adventure, and this time, the Golden State is calling our names.
Imagine this: a four-day escapade through the dazzling city of Los Angeles, packed with thrilling activities like an LA City Tour, a master dance class, Disneyland, Universal Studios, Warner Bros. Studio Tour, and more! The fun is just getting started!
This spectacular journey will take place November 1-5, 2024, and is open to all Guardian and Angel dancers, including our incredible managers. It's important to note that this isn't your typical vacation – it's a student educational trip where we'll dive headfirst into the vibrant dance and entertainment scene of Los Angeles. Students will room together in student-only rooms, selecting the "quad room (student)" option during registration.
Here's a special invitation for our superhero parents – join us as chaperones! Chaperones play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of our students, with light duties such as room checks and being the designated adult for a group of students throughout the trip. Quick note: you won't be rooming with the students, but your presence will make this journey even more memorable.
The total cost of the trip (estimated around $2100 per participant for a quad room) depends on factors like the number of participants, airfare costs, and buses needed. This package includes lodging, meals, entry fees, and an estimated airfare. If flight prices dance to a different beat, we'll adjust the payment plan accordingly. A $150 deposit by March 1st secures your spot, followed by a payment plan.
But here's the kicker – we're on a mission to fundraise throughout the year and bring down the cost for each student. Let's make this happen together.
Get ready for a journey filled with laughter, learning, growth, and memories that'll last a lifetime. Thank you for your unwavering support, and let the countdown to our Los Angeles adventure begin!

Travel Protection Clarification:
I wanted to address a common question regarding travel insurance that many of you have raised: "Does the travel insurance need to be paid at the time of the initial registration and deposit, or can it be added later?"
Here's the clarification regarding travel insurance: Travel protection must be paid at the time of the deposit. If for any reason participants opt not to register for trip protection during the initial registration, they have a grace period of 14 days to opt for the enhanced protection plan, which includes the option to cancel for any reason. To add the enhanced protection plan after the initial registration, participants need to contact me (Mabry) directly as the designated "Trip Leader." Once notified, I will facilitate communication with our team so that the necessary changes can be made accordingly.
