Disneyland Tour 2025

Interest Survey needed from all families by August 23

We need all families to fill out this quick survey by Friday, August 23, so we can finalize tour costs. (Tour costs vary depending on how many singers attend!) We appreciate your help with this!

Tour Parent Meeting on September 24 at 7:00 pm.

We need at least one parent from each interested family to attend the Tour Parent Meeting on 9/24 at 7:00 pm. This is our first tour since 2019 and we have made some changes. Families will provide their own transportation to/from Anaheim and lodging in Anaheim. This will allow families the flexibility to use travel points and/or choose their own accommodation costs.

The performance in California Adventure at Disneyland Resort is on Thursday, March 20, 2025 and the Performing Arts Workshop is Friday, March 21, 2025. Singers will purchase their Disneyland admission tickets through Cantus Youth Choirs. Additional costs will include a performance and workshop fee through Disneyland, a tour outfit, meals, and some additional costs detailed at the Tour Parent Meeting. Participating tour singers will be required to attend 3-4 additional rehearsals for tour.

Tour is not required and will not be discussed in rehearsal. All singers are welcome in Cantus, regardless of whether or not they tour.

Download and print your sheet music

Coming soon!

Each singer needs to download, print, and bring their sheet music to the first rehearsal. You can access sheet music and practice files at MEMBERS > PRACTICE FILES, or by clicking on the ensemble filters below. Be sure to look at solo opportunities in the TRANSITIONS numbers!

Get familiar with the MEMBER DASHBOARD

We’ve built an entire Member Dashboard on our website. Singers can download and print their sheet music, listen to practice files of their part, submit video auditions and practice sessions, and stay current with announcements. Parents can view purchase history and tuition payments.

Get Cantus emails

The email address that you used when you paid for tuition is the address to which we send email. When you registered, your email address was added to our list. However, if you’re not receiving email from us, please check your spam folder, or make sure your email address is subscribed. Don’t worry, we don’t send a lot of email.

A note about outfits

Cantus singers will provide their own outfits for our concerts this season. We will provide a lookbook and then let you show your own style within the guidelines. To try to minimize costs for families, we will be using our white-based palette for both concerts this season. Touring families will need to purchase additional pieces that are awaiting approval from Disneyland’s very specific performance outfit requirements. Specific outfit guidelines will be distributed by October for the Winter Concert. Here are some examples of past outfit lookbooks.

Cantus illness policy

Our family needs your help! As you may know, our older son has a disability and an immune disorder. He is so sweet, and very, very fragile. If we bring illness home to him, Cantus will shut down so that we can care for him. Even the smallest illness of any kind can hospitalize him, and my husband and I are both heavily invested in everything “behind the scenes” with Cantus. We know this is a tricky combination when working with so many kids! We love our son and we love your children. Please help us to be able to give to both.

Please do not come to rehearsal sick. If your singer is unsure if they have allergies or sickness, please stay home. That sacrifice will allow Cantus as an organization to keep running.

We will make practice files available on the website so that your singer can continue to practice from home when they are unable to come to rehearsal.

Please report all absences by clicking the Absences icon on the Members page.
