RECITAL BREAKOUTS:
Please note: these recital breakouts provide a list of which classes will perform in each show; they are NOT the order of the show. REMINDERS FOR RECITAL DAY:
- Auditorium doors will open 45 minutes prior to the recital start time.
- Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the recital start time; students in the first 15 acts should be dressed and ready to perform.
- Students will report to the Central Campus cafeteria to check-in and will remain in the cafeteria until their performance time.
- Students can be picked up after their last routine or at the conclusion of the recital. If you choose to collect your student before the end of the show, we ask that you do not move around the auditorium during performances.
- Entering/exiting the auditorium while a class is performing is distracting to both the audience and the performers.
- Each show will have a short intermission, which may be an ideal time to pick up your student in the cafeteria. Students under the age 8 must be picked up by an adult – No Exceptions.
- All students are encouraged to stay for the Finale bow at the end of each recital; Superstars Staff members will assist with lining students up in the auditorium to participate in the bow.
- Admission is free, and there is not currently a spectator limit in place. Please be advised that saving seats prior to the doors opening will not be allowed! Any items placed on seats prior to the doors opening will be removed.
- Flash photography and videotaping are prohibited during recitals as it can be distracting to the performers. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sunfire Video will once again be providing professional videography services for our performances. This year, you choose either a USB drive or a digital download.
Celebrate your Superstar’s big day with an assorted flower bouquet! These will be available for pick up at the recital. Please pre-order your flowers by June 2.
