Things to Know and FAQs:
Where can I find more information and the Letter of Agreement?
You can find it here in this School Packet -- please return a fully executed copy only FOLLOWING your school confirmation with Notes with a Purpose.
Will you need the stage?
The musicians will be setting up their performance area in front of your stage steps to be on the same level with your audience.
What is the performance length?
We recommend 45 minutes of uninterrupted time with the students from being seated to dismissal, with an extra couple of minutes for a Q&A for students. We have flexibility of approximately 5-10 minutes for the performance length.
Could we combine fourth and fifth grade classes?
As educators, you will agree that it is more effective for us to cater to one grade level at a time. That being said, if your combined fourth and fifth grade class is fewer than 150 students, we may consider this exception.
What if we only have room for one assembly?
Please submit the form regardless, and we will try to accommodate the visit. For the one assembly, we would recommend leaving time for students to have an uninterrupted 45-50 minute assembly.
What do you need from our end?
Students are preferred to be seated on the ground, not tables.
Students should be prepared by their teacher(s) about what it means to be a successful and attentive audience.
Each assembly should have no more than 150 students.
Students will be in the 4th and 5th grade level (one grade per assembly is recommended).
Artists will perform on the floor directly in front of students, in front of a stage. Students are recommended to sit on the floor—sitting at cafeteria tables prohibit students from the interactive element. Please see photographs on website for reference.
Presentation requirements:PA System
