Provo High ballroom team seeks approval for San Francisco performance tour; fundraising covered majority of costs
Summary
Coach summarized a March 28–31 performance tour to San Francisco for about 22 students, with performances at Six Flags and Pier 39 and visits including Alcatraz and Stanford; fundraising and concessions largely fund the trip.
Coaches and staff described a planned Provo High ballroom performance tour to San Francisco set for March 28–31 that would take roughly 22 students to perform at Six Flags and Pier 39 and visit Stanford and local elementary schools.
A staff presenter (Jean) outlined the itinerary: travel the evening of March 28, performance at Six Flags on Saturday, sightseeing and a Pier 39 performance on Sunday, and a school visit and meeting with Stanford’s ballroom program on Monday before returning home. The presenter said arrangements include renting four vehicles, hotel stays and scheduled performances in high-traffic visitor areas.
Board members asked about stage size and logistics at Pier 39. The presenter said Six Flags offered a central performance area that could attract casual viewers and that Pier 39 has smaller stage options and a central area; the group also secured a morning performance at an unspecified elementary school where some students have family connections.
The coach said fundraising has covered much of the cost: the program’s annual two-day competition at Provo High is the primary fundraiser, supplemented by student work at BYU basketball and football concession stands. The presenter said parents have been informed since September, with updates in December and January, and that students raised additional funds through organized activities.
The board did not vote on the trip during the study session. Staff said they would bring final permission and logistics documents to the business meeting.
