RECITAL INFORMATION 2026

Preparing for Recital Day at Frontline Company

Our recital is right around the corner, and we are so excited to celebrate everything your students have worked toward this year. This is more than just an event—it’s a meaningful milestone in their growth, confidence, and worship journey.

Tickets & T-Shirts

Any remaining recital tickets are now available on our website. Recital Tickets | Frontline Company If you have not yet picked up your tickets or your student’s t-shirt, please make plans to do so this week by connecting with Jessica or Matt at the studio.

T-shirts are not intended to be worn during the recital. They are a keepsake to remember this season and all your student has accomplished.

What to Wear

Students should dress nicely—think along the lines of what you might wear to church or for school picture day. This helps create a respectful and special atmosphere for the occasion.

Practice Matters

Please encourage your student to practice daily leading up to the recital. The greatest way to overcome nervousness is through confidence, and confidence is built through consistent preparation. A few focused minutes each day can make all the difference.

Arrival Time

Students should arrive 30 minutes before their scheduled recital time unless requested differently by an instructor. This allows us to get everyone settled and ready without feeling rushed.

Please bring music, instruments, whatever you use for your class to play your piece. We need them to have music in case they get lost we can help!

Parking

Parking is available at the 180/ Valley Cafe. In the event that this parking area is full, please park across the street in the Church on the Move parking lot and use the crosswalks to cross.

Photos & Media

You are absolutely welcome to take as many pictures and videos as you’d like during the recital. We will also have a professional media team capturing the day, and those photos and videos will be made available later this summer. We’ll send out details as soon as they are ready. This is where the media kit will be when it is available Recital Media Kit | Frontline Company.

Student Safety & Dismissal

For the safety of every student, they will remain seated in their assigned spots until the conclusion of the recital. At that time, a parent must come to their seat to pick them up and sign them out.

Staying for the Full Recital

We ask that families remain for the entire recital. Every student has worked hard and deserves a full audience to celebrate their moment. Leaving early can be discouraging, even if it’s unintentional. Let’s honor each student by giving them our full attention and support.

Creating the Right Atmosphere

We encourage everyone to help create a joyful, focused environment by minimizing unnecessary movement, distractions, and interruptions. This allows every family to fully enjoy the celebration of growth taking place on stage.

A Learning Experience—Not a Performance

This recital is a learning experience, and you may see teachers actively teaching, encouraging, and even helping students during their time on stage. Our instructors are in it through the very end—right beside your student.

There is no reason to place a child on a stage feeling scared and alone. That is not the memory we are creating.

For many students, this is their first time in front of an audience. We want them to feel supported, encouraged, and confident—not pressured or afraid. At Frontline Company, we do not cultivate fear or perfection. We cultivate excellence through love, encouragement, experience, and growth.

There will be plenty of time in the future for students to stand on their own. These early years—learning their instrument and learning to worship—are about preparation. We are helping them build the confidence and foundation they will need to lead strongly one day.

If a student needs to start over, we will start over. If a student needs encouragement, they will receive it. If a student needs a moment, a smile, or even a hug before they begin, we will meet them right where they are.

Stepping onto a platform in front of people can feel intimidating—but it doesn’t have to be.

The world often makes the stage a place of judgment, pressure, perfection, or isolation. But we are intentionally breaking down those expectations. At Frontline Company, we are creating something different.

We are making the platform a place filled with joy, confidence, life, purpose, and encouragement.

A Heart of Worship

At Frontline Company, our recitals are not centered on performance—they are centered on growth, learning, and worship.

At the end of each recital, there will be a time of worship. We invite you to actively participate—stand, sing, and engage. Your involvement matters more than you may realize.

When students look out and see smiling faces, people worshipping, and an atmosphere of joy and support, it builds their confidence and reinforces everything they’ve been learning all year. Just like on a Sunday morning, the response of the room helps lead the moment.

There Is So Much More Than What You’ll See

We want to encourage you as a parent—your child has learned so much more than what you will see at recital. We wish one moment on stage could show everything they've absorbed this year, but it's miniscule in comparison.

Throughout the year, Frontline students have been developing real musical understanding and skill far beyond what can be shown in a single recital piece. And the same goes for our artists, one piece doesn't begin to show the skills learned. Here's a long list of some of the things that have been taught this year at Frontline, and this list doesn't even begin to touch the entirety of education given. Students have worked through theory, rhythm, pitch, chording, melody, harmony, inversions, scales, time signatures, key signatures, and transposition. They’ve learned how to play with flow through runs, fills, and transitions. They’ve been introduced to fretboards, string names, key names, chord shapes, and how music moves across an instrument. They’ve learned drum names, how each part functions, and how rhythms support an entire group. They’ve explored chord charts, standard notation, tablature, and the Nashville Number System. They’ve practiced reading, listening, timing, and playing with others. Many have developed skills in singing, harmony, sign language, violin, and even creative expression through art. These are not small things—these are foundational skills that most people never learn, and they are building confidence, awareness, and ability that will stay with them long-term. Artists learned sketch, sculpting, watercolors, acrylics and many other art medias. And ASL students have learned essential communication skills and about deaf culture. These are the collective things Frontline students have learned across the board this year—among many other things that we’re leaving out simply because this list could go on and on. Your student learned about their interests at their personal level, and from the list you can see there's still much more to come for everyone as they advance in our Frontline Programs.

But even more important than the skills themselves is what those skills are preparing them for.

We are not just teaching music, art, and ASL—we are preparing hearts.

There may come a day when their church needs a pianist, a drummer, a guitarist, interpreter, designer, or a singer. And instead of saying, “I’ve never done that, I couldn’t,” your child may say, “I’ve done a little before… I think I can.”

That difference matters more than you might realize.

For students who continue, that calling becomes even more natural. They will step into leadership with confidence, not fear—ready to serve, ready to lead, and ready to say yes when the opportunity comes.

Because at the core of everything, they are not just learning music…They are learning a heart of worship.

And that carries eternal value.

Scripture reminds us that what is done for the Lord is never wasted:

“Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven… For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:20–21“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord… since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.” — Colossians 3:23–24“Well done, good and faithful servant… Come and share your master’s happiness.” — Matthew 25:21

The rewards that come from a life lived in obedience to Christ go far beyond anything this world can offer.

So while recital is a beautiful moment to celebrate, it is not the full picture. It is just a glimpse of something much deeper—something being built in your child that has purpose, meaning, and eternal impact.

Looking Ahead: Enrollment & Updates

While we have a captive audience and before questions begin to come in, we want to give you a quick heads up about what’s next.

We are finishing up the Fall Schedule that will be tentative but pretty solid, and then enrollment for Fall will be up and running!

We Are So Proud of Your Students

We want you to know how incredibly proud we are of your students.

We have watched them show up week after week, try new things, push through frustration, build confidence, and grow in ways that go far beyond music. We’ve seen courage where there was once hesitation, consistency where there was once uncertainty, and joy begin to replace fear.

Every small step mattered. Every practice, every correction, every breakthrough added up.

We see growth. We see willingness. What we see is a foundation being built that will carry them into the future.

It has been an honor to teach them, encourage them, and walk alongside them this year.

And we cannot wait for you to see even just a glimpse of what they’ve become. And we look forward to continuing this journey with each of them.
