Chorus Trip 2025 - 2026

 Fundraising and Payments

• Each student will have a trip account, which must be kept up to date.

• We will provide multiple fundraising opportunities throughout the year. (You are not obligated to fundraise.) Funds raised through any fundraiser will be allocated to your child’s trip account after the fundraiser is complete.

• Account balances will be posted in each chorus classroom. It is the responsibility of each student to check this account and inform parents of any payments that are needed to keep the account current. Building treasurers will send emails to parents with account balances prior to each payment due date.

• If you have a problem making a payment, please contact your building treasurer, the SVCB Treasurer or the Trip Coordinator to discuss your situation.

• Please include your child’s name and grade on the memo line of the check.

• If you have more than one child going on the trip, please write separate checks for payments to ensure proper credit to the student’s account.

Trip Insurance

The trip price does not include trip insurance. While this insurance is not required, it is recommended in the event your student is unable to go on the trip. Payment for trip insurance is made directly to the trip insurance company. Do not send a payment for trip insurance to the SV Chorus Boosters.

If you wish to purchase the optional “cancel for any reason” policy or want to have pre-existing health conditions included in the standard policy, you must purchase a trip insurance policy within 14 days of the date on your deposit check. Standard trip insurance is available any time prior to 7 days before the trip departure date. Trip Insurance Application

 Any student feeling ill prior to departure will not be permitted to attend this trip. Students are also required to meet certain standards set by the school district regarding attendance, behavior and grades. If they do not meet these requirements, they will not be permitted to participate in the trip. In these situations, trip insurance will be the only option to get a refund of any money you paid out-of-pocket for this trip. SVCB will not refund any payments made. Any portion of the trip paid for with fundraised funds cannot be included in a trip insurance claim.
