Frontier Charter Virtual Talent Show!
Frontier Charter will be producing a digital Talent Show this year and we would love to provide students with the opportunity to share their talents with our community.
Students are strongly encouraged to select a talent that they have practiced and feel confident in doing. Suggestions for acts include singing, dancing, playing an instrument, juggling, storytelling, performing a skit or magic, etc.
All acts must be safe and appropriate for a school environment.
All acts, song or lyrics, skits, outfits or costumes, and props must be appropriate and align with the ASD dress code and policies.
The background and filmed environment should be clear of distractions and inappropriate images and content.
Principal Jerry Finkler and the Frontier Advisors reserve the right to deny any act or performance if it is inappropriate.
Each student is allowed to be in only ONE solo performance.
Submissions may be edited to help with time and flow.
Preference will be given to those acts that demonstrate and appear to have been practiced and prepared.
All submissions are limited to 3 minutes.
Submissions will be shared on digital platforms, such as Frontier’s YouTube channel. – Please note, if copyrighted music is used, the act may not be allowed on Frontier’s YouTube channel. Talk to Liz Hunt if you have any questions about copyrighted music.
Submissions must be received by Friday, March 24th
Families will record their submission using their tablet, phone or computer. Submissions will then need to be deposited into a shared Frontier Charter Talent Show Google Drive.
In order to participate, a parent/guardian must complete the following form:
https://forms.gle/DRHGgkyg3G5U3zP67
After the form is complete, an email with further instructions and details will be shared, including invitation to submit recordings.
We look forward to sharing with all of you. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact Liz Hunt at hunt_elizabeth@asdk12.org

Collision of Rhythm Family Experience!
We are planning our March field trip -- This will be a K-12 Family Experience. We are limited to 75 seats for families. It will be first come, first serve.
Frontier will pay for one parent per family as well as Frontier students K-12. Families will be responsible for their own transportation to the PAC and parking downtown. Students younger than Kindergarten or students not enrolled in Frontier will not be able to attend.
FRIDAY - MARCH 24th 10am https://akjt.org/2022/07/20/collision-of-rhythm/
"Collision of Rhythm delivers a high-energy performance with a wide range of instruments including drums and percussion, piano, marimba, saxophone, and beatboxing — with the unique elements of tap dancing and bounce juggling. Featured on The Tonight Show, America’s Got Talent, and SuperBowl commercials, this inspiring show is jam-packed with audience interaction, laughter and jaw-dropping performances for all ages and backgrounds.
With drumming, tap dancing, rhythmic juggling, marimba, piano, saxophone, flute and so much more, the show has been described as “Stomp meets Blue Man meets Cirque du Soleil.” The pure joy that music and rhythm has instilled within these two humans is extended to every audience member throughout the performance. Between choreographed musical pieces, there is audience interaction, humor, and personal stories that make this show all at once captivating, inspiring, and flat-out extraordinary."
