Open Agenda
 
 

Quick Summary / Abstract
Approve the Yes, Virginia The Musical school grant program Declaration of Compliance, Liability & Publicity Release so that Dolphin Bay Elementary can be reimbursed for production expenses.

Yes, Virginia The Musical aims at students in grades three through six based on an animated nonmusical television special, "Yes Virginia" that carries the theme "Believe."  Macy's has sponsored the special since 2009 and now shares the musical version with schools through a website that offers content like downloadable scripts and scores, production reference materials, video clips, and a recent performance by children attending Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts Training Center.  The content is shared free of charge and in addition, Macy?s is giving 100 schools $1,000 each to help them defray the costs of putting on the musical.  Dolphin Bay Elementary  received one of the grants, which was used to produce the Yes, Virginia musical locally.  

The declaration has been approved as to form and legal content.

The positive potential financial impact is $1,000 from the Macy's Corporation through ePrize, an online event promoter.  There is no additional financial impact to the District.
