River Ridge Campus: Saturday/Sunday June 29-30, 2024 at St. Martin's Solomon Theatre - 225 Green Acres Rd in Metairie.

More details will be made available closer to the recital date. Please keep both days open as we will have multiple concerts from 8 AM through 8 PM (Saturday) and 8 AM-2 PM (Sunday). Your concert date and assignment will be announced in early June. All students are asked to sign-up online at www.laapa.com/music-recital no later than 5/1/2024Any student not returning the form by 5/1 will be unable to participate.  We are unable to make any exceptions to this deadline.

RULES AND GUIDELINES FOR PARTICIPATION:

- All music students will be assigned one solo.

- All music students are invited to participate in an ensemble performance (duet, etc.). Students must be available to spend additional time practicing with duet partner either in your homes or at each other's lessons. Please let your teacher know if you are interested in playing a duet or performing in an ensemble.

- All music students are invited to write and perform original compositions. The piece must be properly notated and performed at the concert in order to participate. You may ask for your teacher's help in writing the composition.

- Each selection performed must be no more than 2 minutes in length. (Performances must be cut to 2 minutes if they are over 2 minutes.)

- Instrumental and vocal students (voice, guitar, strings, wind, brass, etc.) will require accompanists.  The accompanist fee is $40 and will provide students with 30 minutes of rehearsal time with the accompanist (or their instructor within the lesson) in addition to the performance on the day of the concert.  Should any parent/student feel that more time is needed with the accompanist, additional private accompanist sessions are available at $35 per 30 minute session and may be booked at the front desk. 

CONCERT PREPAREDNESS:

Signing up for the concert is a fantastic opportunity, but it's also a commitment to be taken seriously! All solos and original compositions must be memorized and be completely ready for performance no later than June, 2024.

During the first two weeks of June, all student concert participants will be required to complete a formal rehearsal during their regular lesson. At that time your teacher will either 1.) fully approve your performance, 2.) approve conditionally (requires scheduling additional rehearsal with the office), or 3.) recommending that the student wait until the next concert for the best on stage experience.

Please note that only students who are fully prepared will be allowed to perform.  No exceptions will be made as students will NOT be allowed to use their music for solo performances at the concert.  Students may use their music for duets/ensembles/accompanying other students.

AWARDS:

Many awards will be presented at each program based on the number of years students have been taking lessons at LAAPA.  Every student who is performing will be recognized for his/her time of study and accomplishments. Students who compose and score their own music and/or who participated in LAAPAFEST will additionally be recognized in those award categories.

TICKETS:

Tickets will be offered for sale at events.laapa.com. We advise all parents and students to order their tickets in advance of the performance for guaranteed seating. Two complimentary tickets (per family) will be issued to the email address you complete this form with. Please understand that once they are sold out, we cannot guarantee further seating.
