Performing Arts Showcase

It's an event that gives all Forest Hill students an opportunity to perform in front of a live audience. They could dance, sing, act, do stand-up comedy, perform martial arts, magic, play a musical instrument, perform gymnastics, hula-hoop, jump-rope, and so on.

All Forest Hill students are welcome!

Each student can perform at most 2 shows – Once as a solo and / or as part of a group.

All 4th and 5th graders can also sign up to MC (i.e. welcome the audience, announce acts, close show, help out back stage, etc.). Note MC and performer are independent roles. Students can sign up for either or both roles.
