We are very excited to share our Outdoor Concert 2024 with you this Friday, May 3 (6:00-8:30 pm) from the front steps of Savannah Arts Academy!
To offer the best sound possible given an outdoor acoustic, we hired a professional sound company to ensure our audience can hear the ensembles and featured soloists.
In lieu of a concert ticket, we hope to garner a small donation from attendees to offset the cost of the sound system. We have a cash app account to use for the donation and any amount will directly benefit the audience and performers. Thank you for considering and we hope to see you Friday!
Please look for a QR code in and around Tiedeman park which will house our digital program and the cash app info.
Our featured food trucks for the evening-
Keller Wood Fire Pizza
The Big Red Taco Truck
Rita’s On the Road (Italian Ice & Custard)
Physicals will be on Tuesday, May 14 from 3:30-5:30 at Beach High School for $10 cash. The physical will be valid for the entire 2024-25 school year for dance students and anyone wishing to participate in any sport at Savannah Arts Academy.
