  • Dallas Public Library Audition Workshop for Prospective Dance Conservatory Students- December 2nd, 10 am - Area Libraries- Our Conservatories go into the community to provide workshops to help students prepare for the audition process. See the link here if you are looking to audition or know someone who plans to audition. Here is the link for all audition information and workshops for this school year.

  • Get more sleep - Try hard to get a lot of sleep this week. It is exciting and emotional; lots of water and a lot of sleep makes everything better.

How can I get involved with Showcase?

There is a section below introducing Showcase, but to volunteer here is the shortest version:

• Contact your student’s Guild (links to each guild are under the Fast Lane section at the top of this newsletter).

• Register as a DISD Voly volunteer so you’re cleared through the district and our Raptor security system. This is the system we use to check you in to enter the building each day.

You can complete both the registration and notification steps at this link.

No other big questions this week! Everyone have fun!
