More details to this question:
My band teacher told us that we would go to an annual Disneyland trip. Going to this trip we learn from a Disneyland workshop that helps us with our craft. Now she has changed the trip to Knottsberry Farm. I believe this is a breach of contact. What action can I take?

With few exceptions, one of the requirements for a valid contract is consideration.  In other words, you must either give something to the other contracting party, or give something up, or there will be no contract.  A promise without consideration is not binding.  Thus, if the teacher had promised to take you to Disneyland in exchange for $1000, you might have a binding contract.  Here, it does not seem as if you do.
