Robinson Center, Little Rock

Schools of all kinds are invited to join us for a celebration of the many types of education in Arkansas and the students who thrive in those different learning environments! School leaders are invited to bring their students to enjoy an entertaining program – and are further invited to propose their own students to be on stage! We’re looking for student speakers, color guard, someone to sing the national anthem, other vocal or choral performances, cheer, dance, marching band and other suggested entertainments to keep the tempo up.

Fill out the form below to register attendance of a student group. You will find space to suggest student performers on the registration form.
