SUBJECT: Tuscan PTA Newsletter 10/16

Wasn’t it amazing walking down those halls, squeezing into those tiny seats, and hearing from the teachers again without any possibility of technical problems?! Back To School night was a SUCCESS! Thank yous all around to everyone for making it possible to go back in person.

Calling all Tuscan 4th & 5th graders!

We know you have been waiting for it....Auditions for the 2023 Tuscan Show will be November 15. All the info you need is now live on the shows website at  www.tuscanshow.com. Click the blue button that says "Host Auditions".  Questions? Please email tuscanshow@gmail.com

But wait!

Always thought to yourself “a ball-change would go perfectly at this part of the song” or “I can think of five different poses that would really make the end of this song something to remember”? I’ve got news for you… you need to be a Tuscan Show Director, and guess what?! The Tuscan Show is also recruiting Directors! Tune in on October 26 for more info or check out www.tuscanshow.com!
