    If it's raining, we still go. Disney may or may not cancel our performance depending on the weather. Regardless, we will be going. We recommend jackets, ponchos or umbrellas. CLICK HERE for info regarding Magic Music Days. Since we are performing with all 7th & 8th grader groups, this will not be an option this year. Next are the requirements & information for groups that passed their audition. All groups that made it will have their info passed along here.


    Students in the Advanced & Ensemble Groups plus Choirs will need to wear their correct concert outfit for picture day, tape day, Winter Concert and for the actual performance (if we make it!).
