Bearing the image of the Creator as we

cultivate creativity

A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOr

We have just completed another week of classes, and couldn’t be more excited.  The caliber of student in the Arts classroom is outstanding, we can certainly see great things to come!  As things continue to unfold, you may have questions.  Please feel free to reach out to any of our Arts staff and let us know how we can help.  Simply email your Director or send to performingarts@tcslions.org and we’ll make sure to get you the information you need.

We have put together a statement that describes what we hope to accomplish in the Arts department at TCS.  We desire to bear the image of the Creator as we cultivate creativity.  This simple phrase encompasses the heart behind what we do as your Arts staff.  We wish to do everything in the image of Christ first and foremost.  And to teach your students to do the same.  And we recognize that God is our Master Creator.  We want to honor Him for the gift He has given each of us, and train to become better and better in that gift each and every day.  We want to cultivate the creativity inside of each student, and see them blossom and realize their full potential in Christ.

Here’s to a great school year ahead.  We will give you our best.  And will pull the best out of your student as well.  Let’s have a fantastic school year together and create for God’s glory!

HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE - EARLY MORNING WORKOUTS

As we continue to grow as performers and technicians, we want to look for ways to continue to learn, try new things, and master techniques. This year, we are offering “morning workouts” where High School students can attend before school to stretch their theatre muscles.

We will be releasing a calendar monthly, but days will vary based on skills, upcoming events, and more. At times, we will have guest teachers, and students will be able to take advantage of experts in this field!

Workouts are week days from 7:30-8am in Room 502.

INSTRUMENT REPAIR

We use Big Note Music for on site repair of many of our musical instruments.  If you have an instrument that needs repair as the school year begins, this may be a great option for you.  The process works with you filling out an online form, pre-paying for the repair, and then they come for a scheduled repair session right on our Trinity campus.  Your student wouldn’t be away from their instrument except when it’s on the repair table.  This convenient option has worked for us for a few years now.  Simply fill out the online form and let us know that a repair has been scheduled.
