Extravaganza Filming Ahead!
On Friday, February 9th and Monday, February 12th, a professional film crew will be on-site to create the 2024 Extravaganza videos. We want our Sparks to shine during filming, and request your help in putting their best foot forward with:
- Red sweaters/vests
- Tights instead of leggings for girls at all grade levels, or dress code approved socks
- Girl’s hair preferred worn down or half up / half down
In addition, we will have one logistical change: on Monday, February 12th, students who are attending afternoon EDP will need to be picked up at the North Breezeway door.
The 2024 videos will have a world premiere at the Extravaganza on Saturday, March 23! Save the date; event tickets will be available mid-February.

Embers’ Budding Artists
