However, our staff will be there to make this a memorable experience for all of our ISM families. So please bring your calm demeanor and your can-do attitude! We are all there to help your children enjoy the fruit of many months of hard work, but tensions may run a little high and we all need to keep that in check and roll with the punches. Stay calm, positive and lighthearted for your child’s sake as well as for all the other performers and staff who have worked so hard for this day.
