Auditions/demonstrations will be held at Esteban Torres igh School and Belvedere Middle School on Saturday, May 19, 2018. Please do not apply unless you are sure you can attend the audition/demonstration.

If you feel your child is talented in visual or performing arts and would like to apply then you and your child must attend the talented application meeting. The application meeting will be Thursday, March 15 th, 2018 at 3:30 pm in Balboa s Library. Both the parent and the student must attend!
