Ken Holdt, who teaches AP Music Theory and is the Director of Choral Activities for grades 9-12 at Sycamore High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, understands the life experience taking students on the road offers.
Holdt, who has utilized ETI for his two most recent trips in 2019 and 2021, prepares his students to travel to Disney biannually for a variety of activities, including choir workshops and The Candlelight Processional at EPCOT—an exclusive experience Holdt’s choir earned entry to on their first try. Sight reading, seeing what a live sound stage is like and performing for others are among the experiences Holdt says help offer college and career readiness for students beyond the trip.

While planning an educational travel adventure can be exhilarating, chances are group leaders and educators are going to be approached by parents with questions on anything and everything. To help give you an idea, we’ve rounded up the top five most common questions ETI encounters from parents.
“Can I share a room with my child on the trip?”
It depends! While some group leaders and educators don’t mind allowing a parent who is a chaperone or otherwise share a room with their child, others may prefer parents have a separate hotel room for the trip. This allows a greater opportunity for students to create bonds on their own, embrace the perspective travel affords them and spread their wings.
“What’s the itinerary? I’d like to shadow the trip.”
The group leader and educator will provide this information at their own personal discretion. Due to privacy concerns, ETI only shares this information with the group leaders.
