Music Recital Information

As you enter the main doors of The YMCA you will be directed by a staff member as well as signage to the backstage area. At this point, we ask that your child be ready to enter backstage. They will be checked in by a Summit Staff member. This is the point that you will leave your child with us.

Parents, please note: You will not be allowed to go backstage during the show. If your child will need you at any point during the show, please volunteer!

There will be ABSOLUTELY NO RECORDING DEVICES allowed into the theatre for the recital. We understand that other studios charge between $50 – $150 per recording and this is something that is not realistic for most families. Instead, we have worked very hard to be able to provide a recording to you for just $30+gst (included for families on the gold package). PLEASE BE FOREWARNED if you are seen entering the theatre with any of the above devices you will be asked to return them to your vehicle.

Why is parent recording not allowed?

1. You are viewing your child in COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL.
2. It can interfere with our technical equipment to run the show.
3. These devices are extremely distracting to the dancers as well as the people sitting around you. This is a safety concern for students. As you can imagine, for students who are already nervous, having numerous people video recording in the audience (flash from recording equipment causing blind spots) is extremely inappropriate and unfair.

If you are on the gold package you will be provided your recording as included in your fees. These will be sent to you over the summer. Please keep your active email on file to ensure you receive information on this in July.

If you are in the silver package you can purchase the recording for 30+gst.

All of our products are: Made in Canada, Fragrance-free, Hypoallergenic, Non-comedogenic, Allergy tested

All of our formulas are specifically designed for the stage. This means that all colours are very intense and made for stage lighting. We want to make sure that you can see your child’s face from the audience! Makeup really does make a difference!

We do recommend makeup for all ages, including our young musicians. Please remember that adult performers do not wear makeup “just because”. They wear stage makeup so that the audience can see their face on stage. For the same reason that adults wear makeup on stage, we recommend children to do the same – so that you can see their face on stage.

We do provide flowers for purchase the day of the recital for your convenience should you want to buy your dancer a flower for their special performance.
