A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR
In Performing Arts, we teach students of all ages to play instruments. From Preschool all the way through High School, and from beginners to more advanced students, we see them at all levels of maturity and development. One of our joys is to see a student develop throughout the years we teach them in areas like patience, self confidence, and even social skills. We believe that playing a musical instrument plays a direct role in their development in these areas and more. Being involved in the Arts touches a student on all levels, and truly prepares today’s student to impact tomorrow’s world. Check out this article for 10 Reasons Why Every Child Should Play a Musical Instrument.

Join us Friday, December 2nd and Saturday, December 3rd for our High School play, Closed for the Holidays. Groups of people, all looking for their own Christmas miracle, end up at the Valdosta Community Shelter as the Georgia/Florida line has frozen over. By interacting with each other, they come to find Christmas isn't in things or presents, it's celebrated with the people around you. Student directed by MJ Poling, and performed by our 9th-12th grade Roaring Dramatics.
Tickets include a hot chocolate bar and will be sure to get anyone ready for the upcoming holiday season! Tickets on sale soon!
