Lie.

Don't tell them which day it is, fake their sig on the note and tell your teacher they changed their minds.

You will most likely get in trouble later, but it will be worth it.

Explain to them that they can call you (on a cell phone) whenever tehy are worried to you. Since they already dont believe your teacher just keep explaining to them that the teachers are resposible!

Hope you get to go! :)

sit down with them and have a long talk..if you have to, tell them every single detail and give them a schedule and a list of phone numbers of where you'll be. tell them you'll call them when you get there and when you're about to leave, and tell them you've been looking forward to this for a long time and it would mean a lot if you could go. hope i helped!!

I would sit down with them and ask them why they don't think it will be safe. Try and be as mature as possible and present them with reasons for why it will be safe. Don't whine though... because then that will make you look like a little kid. I think that that's really the only way if you teacher has already talked to them. Sorry I'm not much of a help, but good luck and I hope you can get them to change their minds!

Try telling them that they should trust you by now. They have to learn to let go once in awhile. Tell them that you will call them every hour or so (if you have a cell) That should convince them. Hope I helped!
