Polk County Elementary Showcase
April 16 & May 2-3 2019

Polk County Elementary Showcase

The Polk County Elementary Showcase is select group of the top 4th and 5th grade musicians from around Polk County. This event consists four performing ensembles: Girl Choir, Boy Choir, Strings, and ORFF Ensemble.

There are two evening rehearsals, an all day rehearsal, and then an evening performance to show off the students' hard work.

Participating students are required to stay for the entire performance. The end of the evening will conclude with a joint performance of all the ensembles. The concert is free and open to the public. Parents and families are encouraged to get to the concert early. There are about 400 students so parking and seating can fill up fast.
