Share your views on the Variety Show

  In recent years, the Brookdale PTA has sponsored a Variety Show that encourages students to explore and showcase their talents in the performing arts. Students develop their acts, audition and rehearse, then perform for their peers, teachers and parents.
  Traditionally, students have performed one show for their classmates during the school day and a second show in the evening for parents and the Brookdale community. Often, the daytime show has included a performance by staff members as well as a selection of students, while all of the participants have performed in the evening show.
   We would like your opinions on a proposal for the Variety Show that would differ significantly from the recent tradition.
   Under the proposal submitted to the PTA Executive Board, students would perform only an evening show and the event could be in the auditorium at Metea Valley High School rather than the gym at Brookdale.
  The daytime show allows staff to be involved and for staff and students to see the show, but it requires additional planning and additional volunteers. Some may see performing the evening show on the high school stage as an opportunity for a higher-level performance experience while some students may be intimidated by the setting.
