Legacy Program Attendance Requirements: 
• Typically Leads and Soloists can miss no more than 6 hours of rehearsal time or a max of 2 excused absences.  Absences or unexcused absences may prompt Production Directors to reassign leads and/or solos.  We may also need to reassign blocking or participation within certain numbers.

• Typically, Chorus members can miss no more than 10 hours of rehearsal time or a max of 4 excused absences.  Absences or unexcused absences may prompt Production Directors to reassign minor lines and/or solos.

All absences should be reported in advance (when possible) to absences@childrensperformingartsmn.org.
Legacy Program Volunteer Requirements:
CPA requires a $300 Volunteer Check at the time of registration. 
  • If the parent/guardian completes their volunteer time, the check will be shredded.  If not completed, you will be notified prior to cashing your check.  The requirements are as follows:
    • 8 hours of rehearsal volunteer time
    • Volunteer at 3 performances
    • Participate in set strike (or fulfill a strike alternative) following the final performance
Why do you require background checks?
​
Every year, CPA relies on its volunteers to assist to create successful programs.  Our volunteers fulfill roles as guardians, costume and stage assistants, lead chaperones, and so much more.  We are so fortunate to have parent volunteers and their vital contribution to CPA’s success.  We could not do what we do without you.  CPA takes seriously its commitment to promoting a safe, secure and welcoming environment for our young participants.  All volunteers (with the exception of our Junior Directors) will be required to complete a CONFIDENTIAL background check.  The ultimate goal is to verify identity and prevent unidentified individuals from entering rehearsal practices or jeopardizing a child’s safety.  The safety of the children enrolled in our program is of the highest priority to us!  Cost for background checks is $17.00 and they are valid with us for (3) years.  CLICK HERE for more info.

Participation Fee for our 2019-2020 Legacy Program is $225.00 per child.

​We also require a $25.00 non-refundable Registration Fee per child (paid once annually for our programs). 
All sales are final.   No refunds or credits will be granted for non-attendance.
