🌟Performance Date: Friday, May 16th @ 1:30 PM in the Sidener gym
🌟Attendance: All students will be in attendance. Family/friends of those performing are invited to attend in person.
🌟Types of Acts -- Genuine vs. Intentionally Bad: The theme of the talent show is based around America’s Got Talent. On the show, bad acts are “buzzed” off the stage. We won’t buzz just anyone off the stage, but students who would like to be buzzed off the stage are invited to audition an “intentionally bad act” for the show. Students who are auditioning a “genuine” act will not be buzzed at all and will receive positive feedback from the judges. All acts can be a variety of options from singing, dancing, playing an instrument, ventriloquism, magic tricks, stand-up comedy, and so much more. If you have any questions, please email Miss Schafer (schafers@myips.org)

The Indianapolis Opera visited Sidener last week for a special performance for our first, second, and third grade students! This year’s opera was Fígaro! The Bunny of Seville, based on Rossini’s opera The Barber of Seville. This show was filled with catchy tunes and silly antics, and it taught a lesson about the importance of honesty.
