After 18 years as an MTC Tour Director, Sue Guindon has developed a reputation for meticulous planning and an unwavering commitment to student experiences.<\/p>\n

Her first trip in 2008 took her from Georgia to Florida with the Walton HS Band, and since then, she has guided countless groups across the country. \u201cAttention to detail is key,\u201d Sue advised. \u201cPreparation, preparation, preparation!”<\/p>\n

“Every trip has challenges, both expected and unexpected, but with planning, resourcefulness and support, we handle whatever is thrown our way!”<\/p>\n

In March 2020, Sue led a group in Orlando just as the world began shutting down due to the pandemic. \u201cThere were hints of the pandemic even before we left the school, but the district permitted the group to depart as scheduled,\u201d she said. \u201cThe first day was great, but on the second afternoon, as the group was participating in a Disney Imagination Campus workshop, the director got a call from his superintendent that we had to cut the trip short and come home as a national emergency had just been declared.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Orlando remains one of Sue\u2019s favorite destinations. \u201cI am always impressed with the Disney Imagination Campus workshops and performances,\u201d she said. “I adore giving student performers the opportunity to become ‘honorary cast members’ at Disney.”<\/p>\n
