Please try the costume on and make sure everything fits.

We go to this same assisted living center before every one of our concerts. The Grandmas and Grandpas there LOVE our kids. After we sing they will want to talk with them and enjoy their fun personalities. For some of my kids it’s great and they love it. For others, not so much. I’ll let you decide for your own child if you want to encourage them to interact with the residents or just head out.

          7:00- TaVaci School of Performing Arts Proudly Presents:

Reach for the Sky

When you bring your child into the school for the concert, please stop by the restroom and encourage them to go. Little tummies get butterflies and they almost every time will need to go. Make sure their hair is pulled away from their face so that we can see their beautiful eyes and smiles. The stage lights are harsh. A little mascara, blush, and lipstick help define facial features on stage. It does not have to be over the top. Just a little to help outline their natural features.
If you have them change from their outside shoes to their ballets or jazz shoes , please hold their regular shoe at YOUR seat. That goes for coats and jackets as well. They will be up and down the whole concert and we don’t want them tripping over anything that we can prevent.
The seating in the theater is first come first serve. There will plenty of room for everyone. Just a hint, the best seats are about half way back. That is where the speakers are.
May 26- Dacula Memorial Day Parade

Hebron Baptist Church parking lot

9:30-  The parade steps off at 10:00

The route is a complete circle.  So, we will meet you back in the church parking lot when we are done singing.

Wear denim shorts and your TaVaci T-shirt.  If you don’t have a TaVaci T-shirt, wear a plain red, white or blue shirt.  The parade is rain or shine.  It has been beautiful the last couple of years, but we have enjoyed the rain as well.  Come prepared for the weather.  Sunscreen is always a great idea.  We aren’t allowed to let the kids throw candy from the float.  Bummer.  But, we will let them wave their flags and sings their heart out in honor of our veterans.

I know that we have several parents that are veterans in our group.  If any of you would like to ride in the back of the truck with us, we would be SO honored.

Let’s Do it Again in the Fall!!!

I hope you have all enjoyed TaVaci this year.  We LOVE your kids.  Attached is a registration form for next year.  I REALLY hope to see all my friends in August for another action packed year.
