- Students entering this competition must have strong vocal, movement, and acting skills that reflect the mood of the music/dramatic selection.

Our trip to New York City to participate in the National Performing Arts Festival was a dream come true for all of the student and chaperone participants. A large percentage of our students had multiple first time experiences on the trip. Many of them had never traveled by airplane, left the state of California, seen a professional Broadway show, traveled to New York City or experienced the pride of the national recognition of their talents and abilities.... Read a complete diary of their enriching trip experience.

Working with Travel Adventures has been a great experience. This is my second time working with them, and I must say that it has been a pleasure. The team is very professional, understanding, and patient. They bent over backwards to ensure that your group is taken care of and that special arrangements are made. No two trips are the same because the team ensures that each trip is specifically customized to each student's needs. All their services take TONS of paperwork and responsibility off of my already HUGE to-do list. I couldn't plan a trip without Travel Adventures. They spoil me too much!

In terms of the festival, it was a great learning experience for the students and for me! I can't wait to come back and step it up a notch. It was a very intense competition and we were very fortunate to compete among such professional groups. The adjudicators gave us some great advice that I will use to better myself.

I want to thank Travel Adventures for the wonderful National Performing Arts Festival experience you provided for our students. The trip was exciting, valuable and most importantly, memorable. I truly believe the experience will positively impact my students for many years. Please put us on the list for New York next year.

WOW! What a fantastic trip! Organization, activities, food, entertainment…all were outstanding. My students had the time of their lives, and bringing home the Judges award was icing on the cake. We also took home the only Best Actor Award! I can’t tell you how pleased I am with everything! Schedule our trip for next year!
