5. Extra tickets can be purchased right up until the show at the kiosk, so invite more friends and family for a fantastic concert. ☺. The kiosk is open for drinks and refreshments before and during intermission for every show. 

I hope the girls and boys are looking forward to an exciting week, after rehearsals the anticipation 

builds and they can’t wait to perform. These are my favorite few weeks in a hard year’s work! 

So excited about our LFK performances and the great weekend ahead.

Thank you so much for your support,

Love Tracy and teachers
