RECITAL PROGRAM
We're going green, so this year's program is digital. Programs for each show are accessible through these links:
SCANNABLE QR CODES FOR PROGRAMS
Personal ads in our recital program are a great way to recognize your special dancer, B. Funk instructor, or staff member! We also offer business ads to get the word out about local companies and services. Pricing is as follows:
Personal ad with text only - $5
Personal ad with text and photo - $10
Business ad - $30
Ads must first be paid for by logging in to the parent portal and purchasing the ad in our ONLINE STORE. Then please email the text of what you would like your ad to say along with your photo (if applicable) to info@bfunk.com. The deadline for all ads is May 6th - NO EXCEPTIONS.
RECITAL FLOWERS
If you choose to present your dancer with flowers to congratulate them on a job well done, please purchase them from an outside vendor prior to arriving at the recital. We will NOT sell flowers on-site on recital day.
RECITAL T-SHIRTS
Recital t-shirts are available for purchase through our ONLINE STORE in the parent portal. Supply is limited! The cost is $20 for youth, $25 for adult (S-XL), and $27.50 for XXL, plus tax. The t-shirt is black with short sleeves and has a white B. Funk logo on the left chest with the Freedom graphic shown above printed on the back.
DVDs/STREAMING RECITAL RECORDINGS
DVDs, Blu-Rays or streaming recordings of all recitals are available for purchase directly from our videographer, Dockside Video Productions. We are not able to offer live streaming of the performances. Details and order information coming soon.
VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers keep our shows running smoothly by helping with costume changes, lining up dancers, and chaperoning dancers in the dressing rooms. They may be moms, dads, older siblings, or close relatives. Volunteers are not required to purchase a recital ticket to the show they volunteer for and are able to watch their dancer's routine by stepping into the audience one number before they perform.
You can sign up by going to the VOLUNTEER tab in the parent portal. Thank you in advance for your help - we couldn't do this without you!
QUESTIONS?
Recital time may be overwhelming for students, new and experienced! Please let us know if you have any questions along the way and we will be more than happy to guide you!
