Chistmas Recital Information 

 

Our Annual Christmas Recital is December 4th at 7:00 PM.

The address is: 138 NE 1st street, Pomano Beach 33060 

First Baptist Church of Pompano Beach - Main Sanctuary

Dear Families,

Here is the information regarding our annual recital.

You may invite friends and family to attend the recital.

No flash photography will be permitted during performances. It can be detrimental for your child to have distracting flashes going off while they are trying to focus on their performance.

Dear Students: Please wear festive holiday recital attire. Holiday dresses or skirts for young ladies and suits or dress pants, and dress shirts with a tie for young gentlemen. Absolutely no jeans, shorts, tee shirts, short skirts, sneakers, flip flops, clunky jewelry, long fingernails etc.

Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the recital and check in for seating with the other students.

Dear Parents: Please bring a tray of food or Christmas cookies for the reception table. Please bring a little more if you have a large group attending. Please bring it to the table in the garden patio area before the recital. I will provide the paper goods, coffee and punch.

Also, please allow one and a half to two hours for the recital. Remember that many people will spend hours at a sporting event, yet have a hard time sitting through a shorter cultural event like a piano recital. I promise that we will move as quickly as possible through the evening and, hopefully, you will enjoy every minute. This is a celebration of the glorious Christmas season!
