Wilton is Headed to Disney!
We are excited to announce that the WHS Music Department will travel to Disney World next Spring! We will depart the evening of March 12, 2026, and return the evening of March 16.
On this trip, students will have the opportunity to participate in a Soundtrack Recording Clinic on Disney’s Imagination Campus, where they will learn how movie studios record music, and then rehearse and produce a soundtrack recording to a Disney movie. Students will also have the chance to put on a concert in Disney Springs, where they will experience a performance under professional conditions and expectations in front of hundreds of people visiting the park. Students will also have plenty of time to enjoy the rides and explore the Disney parks together as they celebrate what we expect to be a great year of music-making.
We hope your child will join us for this memorable adventure!
