Our next spring recital will be Sunday, May 15, 2011 at the Grand Theatre. Dress Rehearsal will be on Sat. May 7, 2011. EVERYONE is expected to attend dress rehearsal. Please do not plan any vacations or outings for that day. If you are not able to attend this rehearsal, please give a written explanation to the school by Jan. 1 2010.

In order to insure delivery of costumes in time for the spring recital, we must order costumes before Christmas. On average the cost of one costume per class is $60.00. Therefore, $30 would be due in October and the balance would be due in November. A recital fee of $45 is due in the spring of 2010. This fee helps cover the rental fee of the Grand Theatre and gives each family 2 admission tickets. All other tickets are $8.00 or $6.00 for Students. Children 3 and under are admitted free.
