Theater Classes
Grand Blanc Youth Arts is partnering up with local theater teachers to offer music theater classes for children in the community. Children will develop acting, drama, and singing skills through various music theater numbers that will be showcased in a public performance for friends, family, and community members.
Drumline
The GBYA drumline is a percussion ensemble that features the standard drumline instruments that you see in most high school marching bands but is open to elementary and middle school students. Children will learn to read and perform basic rhythms and drum rudiments on their specific drums. They will collaborate with the entire ensemble to play fun drumline arrangements that they will share with the community through public performances.

Workshop & Auditions
Registered students will participate in a "workshop" during the first rehearsal (Sept 2nd) and will do auditions during the 2nd rehearsal (Sept. 9th). All students will be cast in the musical, however, auditions help us match students to the role we feel they will be most successful. Below are the audition materials if students want to get a head start on preparing for the audition. We will answer any questions during the workshop on Sept. 2nd.
