<p>Friday, March 15 at 6:30pm (doors open at 5:45pm)</p>
<p>Sponsored by the Sequoia Dads&#8217; Club<br />
Proudly supported by Dimond merchants</p>
<p>Sixty Sequoia Elementary School students have been practicing hard for many weeks with one goal in mind. These young stars will dazzle the audience with their variety of talents, from Song &amp; Dance, to Comedy &amp; Magic, to Martial Arts &amp; Plate Spinning (yes, you read that right), and more. (Performers will meet for one last mandatory rehearsal on Thursday at 6:30pm.)</p>
<p>The show is this Friday, March 15th. Doors open at 5:45pm and the lights fade promptly at 6:30pm. Come early to buy tickets ($5 adults, $2 kids, free for pre-K), get Chinook books, socialize, and grab good seats. You can also buy raffle tickets for exciting prizes! Winning raffle numbers will be called throughout the show. We&#8217;ll also be selling refreshments at the intermission.</p>
<p>We hope to see you there!</p>
