May 2, 2026: Current 2025-2026 Season Bend students will see “pre-approved classes” being added to their online accounts in the coming weeks. This is done to help parents narrow down all the class offerings and see what’s available and suitable for their child. A reminder Performance Team classes will not be listed under “pre-approved classes” until after a successful audition. Auditions for the 2026-2027 Performance Team are happening June 23 and 24. Learn more on the PERFORMANCE TEAM page.
