PERFORMANCE TEAM

Our award-winning Performance Team was established in 2012. It is comprised of students in 3rd-12th grades who study the inter-disciplinary art form of musical theater year-round at our School of Performing Arts! In addition to our performance classes, these students train in skills-based classes a minimum of once a week in our fall and spring semesters.

Virtually anyone with a student in 3rd-12th grade can attend as a part of our group! You DO NOT have to be on our Performance Team.
(NOTE: Students interested in our Performance Team to perform for adjudication by industry professionals will have to meet certain requirements within 2023. Click the Info sheet below for all the details. The 15-minute adjudicated performance is the only portion of the festival students observe rather than participate in if they are NOT on the PT.)
