Recital 2024: “In The Land of Make Believe”
Saturday, June 1st, 2024
shows will be held at 1:00pm and 6:00pm at
Galesburg High School Auditorium
The 1:00pm show will feature preschool through 2nd grade classes, opening, staff dances and ATD Blue Heat
The 6:00pm show will feature 3rd grade through HS classes, opening, finale, staff dances and ATD Blue Heat
Tickets/wristbands will be on sale starting May 1st, 2024 at the studio and are priced as follows:
(no online orders)
$15 each (for admittance to ONE show) and will be a specific color
$20 each (for admittance to BOTH shows) and will be a specific color
Families will receive (1) wristband for free that will grant them admittance to both shows (usually given to a mom or whoever helps students change costumes in the dressing room) All other audience members must purchase tickets/wristbands.
Due to capacity limits – we are limiting EVERY family to purchasing no more than 5 tickets/wristbands total unless otherwise noted. This will guarantee each family the opportunity to purchase tickets/wristbands without (hopefully) overselling the house.
Please note that any performer who wishes to watch the actual performances MUST sit on a lap as to not take a seat away from a ticket holder. (Performers will receive a pass to attach to their costume coverup and allow them free admission to either show)
Make your voice heard!
While we are thrilled to be back at GHS in 2024, we have had to increase our ticket prices to the recital due to the nearly triple rental fees we are being charged by District #205. We have reached out to the Board to voice our opinions but need your help as well. Please reach out to the Board or attend any of their meetings to show your support for us and other entities in the community who are being forced to pay significantly higher prices making it nearly impossible to afford to utilize their newly renovated space. We want to support the District but if they aren’t willing to reduce their fees to make it more affordable, we will be forced to find other venues for future recitals.
For 2024: The facility rental fee (not counting the required custodial fee, supervisor fee or technical director fee) that we are being charged is now $300/hour versus $75/hour in years past.
Looking for ways to help?
Our recitals are successful because of our cooperative ATD students and families and our generous volunteers.

We are grateful for your generosity!
