Kids
in Concert (KIC) the annual benefit concert for Education Law Center
will be held on Thursday, May 12, 2005, beginning at 7:30 pm, at
The
State Theatre New Brunswick. KIC celebrates the talents
of public school children in New Jersey's 31 Abbott districts.
Participating groups and soloists will showcase their talents through
song, dance and instrumental performances. With the direction of
a professional Artistic Director, KIC participants perform original
pieces creating a unique concert event.
The KIC selection process begins in September. Schools are sent
a request to audition and invited to submit video and audiotapes
for review by a selection committee. The KIC Artistic Director chairs
the committee. Groups are chosen based on quality, creativity and
type of performance.
By
January, the committee notifies the selected participants. The Artistic
Director then works with the students to develop and stage the concert
event.
Before the concert, participating students meet each other and rehearse
the show. A final rehearsal takes place the day of the concert.
When the curtain rises, the students are ready to entertain their
parents, friends, teachers and supporters.
