Young Americans workshop scheduled for November
Young Americans will be in Imperial for a workshop and show in mid-November.
Young Americans, founded in 1962, is a charitable organization dedicated to the promotion of understanding and goodwill among people throughout the world through music, dance, performance, academic education and cultural interaction.
The cast will host a workshop for students at Chase County Schools Nov. 14-16.
CCS students in grades 3-12 can participate.
Students will meet after school on Nov. 14, all day Nov. 15 and from 3 to 5 p.m. Nov. 16 to prepare for their performance that night with the full cast.
Pom-Poms will be covering a portion of the tuition cost, which is normally $59.
“We don’t know yet how much they can cover,” elementary music teacher Jodie Liess said.
Once the portion from Pom-Poms is determined, students can register online at: www.youngamericans.org/us.
Host families will also be needed for members of the traveling cast. More information and sign up to be a host family will be available during registration.
This will be the third visit of Young Americans to CCS.
The last performance was in November 2015, when 221 CCS students participated.
Before that, the group gave one of its three-day signature workshops in February 2013.
