In the Spring Concert Informational Packet, please refer to pages 10-13 for your costume, hair, and make-up requirements. We've included video and written tutorials on how to apply the correct make-up and how to create a low ballet bun.
Make sure you are safely storing costumes and have all the required accessories, tights, shoes, and undergarments before the show. We strongly recommend putting your name on all your items as well. MPA sells tights, shoes, and nude leotards at the studio for your connivence.

A professional video of the performance will be available for purchase. See page 22 in the Spring Concert Informational Packet for more information.

Sit back and enjoy the performance and let Mr. Video professionally capture every moment. Purchase can be made online.
PROGRAM ADVERTISING
MPA will be providing a program guide during the show, and we are giving you the opportunity to advertise in the program. This advertisement will help produce MPA’s wonderful show and sponsor the arts in the Waunakee and surrounding communities. This is a great way to get value from your advertising dollars.
Ads will be for sale starting with a 1/4 page for $50 and gradually increase from there. MPA has cover pages available in color starting at $100. Examples of advertisement sizes for you to choose from is included in the PDF below.
We hope you will help us in making MPA’s Spring Concert of Dance a success. This is a great way to get involved. If you need help creating your ad, all imagery and text must be handed in by DATE TBD. If you already have a designed ad with no editing needed, these must be handed in by DATE TBD. All program ad submissions and any questions can be submitted to Jessica at jessica@mpadance.com.
PARENT VOLUNTEERS
We ask that each family sign up for a volunteer position. The success and safety of this event is of the most importance and we cannot do it without your help. We thank you for your help!
