The March 13th Concert is postponed.

The new date and details will be published as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience!    

     The 7th and 8th grade performing arts students  are working hard to prepare for our March concert. This concert features our students in smaller groups and has a different theme each year. This year's theme is "We Are the World." Students are empowered to choose their music and costumes. Leaders research, create the program cover, choreograph, direct, stage manage, run lights, manage costumes, create props and scenery, research the music performed, and announce and speak of the music performed. Here is a sneak peak into our rehearsal. Want to see the final product with the rest of the musicians in costumes, with speakers, props, and of course the grand finale?  Come to the concert in the WCS auditorium on Thursday, March 13 at 7pm!
