Singers Program

The Young Canadians is not a recreational performing arts program. You are being prepared to perform in the largest yearly production held in Canada! We are developing a quality cast for the Grandstand Show through quality training. In addition, if you are planning a future in the performing arts, this training will be invaluable to you. The Calgary Stampede Foundation is contributing a considerable amount of time, money and resources to your training at no cost to the student. In turn we expect your commitment as a Young Canadian cast member to be your #1 activity priority outside of your school academic studies. Sometimes it means choices of what you want to commit your time to. Though we have a basic class schedule, as we are preparing for our performances, additional time will be required for rehearsals.
