This semester, we are revamping our format for Drama Club due to the growth of our numbers and to better equip and train our youngest performers!
1st-3rd Grade will meet on Tuesdays and work on foundational skills to allow students to become strong performers in Musical Theatre! They will work towards performing a one night only gala style performance where students will feature their new learned skills in singing, dancing, and acting through scenes and songs!
Cost: $175
3rd-5th Grade will meet on Mondays OR Thursdays (depending on their cast) and will prepare to present Aladdin Jr. in May while continuing to build upon those foundational pillars of Musical Theatre.
Cost: $250

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.
