yet) has amazing afterschool enrichment opportunities, including drama (PK3-K and 1-5 w/ a Spring musical for the latter), choir (1-5), keyboard performance/orchestra (2-3 and 4-5) and an incredible dance program across all grade levels with ballet/tap/modern/boys hip hop. There's also music as an in-school special that has 2 concerts a year for all students.

I don't know all the details but Capital City has a very nice theater in the building and a theater special.

They have a very dedicated performing arts teacher and a lot of involvement from the administration and staff. In addition to a performing arts special for K-5 the performing arts teacher takes a group of students (unsure if this is just older students or just those participating in the spring play or what) to NYC to see a broadway show every year. It's totally funded by the performing arts program -- they do their own fundraising separate from the PTA and bring in a lot of money.

Last year the cast of the spring play also performed a song or medley at the Kennedy Center (Imagination Stage I believe).

It's very impressive for an elementary program and the school appears to be investing more in the program with their new campus which will have better resources for the PA program.
