Sponsor of the Arts Update from Mr. Frank

 

Please read this important update from Mr. Frank! 

Dear Parents,

Please note the shift in dates to give us a little extra time to finalize all the lower school positioning and middle school show assignments:

 

♪ Hold tight, a change in sight,

Sponsor tickets move to Tuesday, that's right.

Midday Monday, the cast list will glow,

Lower school and middle school, all in the know.

 

♪ Postponed a day, the news is clear,

Tickets and cast lists, have no fear.

Stay tuned, it's all in flight,

Magic awaits, everything's all right.

 

We will once again have an online reservation process for Sponsor Seating, which will open on February 20^th at 8:00 am and will close at February 28^th at 8:00 am. Sponsor reservations are available in advance of public ticket sales, which will begin in the pre-dawn hours of February 29^th.  As we expect high ticket demand, please be aware that sponsor seating will not be available after sales are open to the general public.   

We will post a document to the production blog on Monday the 19^th midday with information on middle school show assignments and what sections all lower school students will stand in.  This will assist you in determining ticketing for both sponsor and general sales.

If you have additional questions, please contact Drew Frank at dfrank@davisacademy.org.

Greeting Agrabahns!

Thank you for a wonderful Sunday of music, choreography, laughter, and hard work!

We're at school wrapping up today's rehearsal, evaluating the dances and music we learned today relative to what we still need to learn based on today's progress.

We are planning the next steps for our upcoming performances.

The finalized schedule for the remaining Sundays will be shared later tonight (a bit of a delay from this morning's anticipated release). This allows us time to debrief, make a few edits to the remaining schedule, and grab our first meals of the day! .:)

Your patience is appreciated as we ensure the successful and organized continuation of our rehearsals.

Thank you!
