- Decide on they type of program you wish from
the artist: school assemblies; family fun night; classroom/grade
level program. Here is some general information:
- School assemblies:
- 45-50 minutes in length so you need
to allow 10 minutes before the start of the program
for students to arrive and at least 20 minutes between
performances for students to leave and next group to
arrive.
- 3 shows on the same day generally with
20 – 30 minutes between performances.
- Generally are for 200-400 students
at a time.

(200 to 2000)

- Are designed for 1 specific grade
level presentation
- Audience can be 20 to 100 students
- Look to your schools calendar and determine
3 dates that would be available for the performance. You can
also list them by preference – 1st choice, 2nd choice,
3rd choice.
* We will hold dates so it is often best to
call in and reserve a date even if you may need to change
it.
- Determine the times of your programs. Our pricing
for 2 or 3 assembly programs is based on programs that have
a maximum of 1 hour between the end of 1 program and the beginning

next one start by 10:30.
