Kiwanis Showcase Concert
Acknowledgements
It's been an incredible Kiwanis Festival for Pearson this year, and we're so excited to share some of the highlights with you tonight. Thanks to:
all the students who participated, to parents, families, and caregivers for your unwavering support,
staff for their exceptional flexibility with coverage and giving up the gymnasium,
Marque Smith and Catherine Gray for accompanying soloists,
Lucas Secondary School for the use of their space,
Marina and Anjna for hosting tonight's concert, and
Lily P. from 7MM for designing the poster and program cover.
- Mr. Allison & Mr. Van Pelt
Reminders
Please silence all electronic devices.
Please do not talk during performances. There will be quick breaks between groups, and a couple stretch breaks for larger transitions.
As audience participation and corresponding etiquette is an integral part of the performance, we would ask that all parents remain until the completion of the Kiwanis Showcase concert. We have strived to make this evening as short as possible and still celebrate the accomplishments of our wonderful students.
Donations
If you feel so inclined, we'd greatly appreciate any contributions for tonight's concert. These donations will go toward our Winds and Strings programs.
