CCM Prep SERIES Presents
Dec. 9-11, 2022, Patricia Corbett Theater
The CCM Youth Ballet Companies feature talented students from ages nine through adult, performing traditional and contemporary works choreographed by CCM and CCM Prep faculty.
THANK YOU!
The CCM Prep Dance Program would like to thank our amazing faculty, administrators, and Dean for giving our students such a wonderful fall semester of classes and performances. What a year it has already been. We have ten graduating seniors this year. Each one has been balancing college applications, school musicals, other extra curriculars, and dancing with grace. We are thrilled to watch them show their individuality in their Senior choreography and in their dancing.
We would also like to thank Dr. Ann Choe (Our CCM Fairy Godmother) for her countless hours of support to our dancers and faculty. I truly don't know how CCM would function without her. Thank you to our parents for supporting your children in their passion for dance. To Gwen Thoroughman, Bay Warren, and Jeff Corcoran we appreciate all that you have done this year to keep our program growing.
On a personal note it is exciting to watch our program rebound and watch so many little people on Saturday mornings smiling and laughing through the joy of dance. I would also like to thank you all for the kind emails, texts, and quick chats in the hallway showing me so much support since I took the directorship of this incredible program.
Happy Holidays! Please have a safe New Year.
See you in 2023,
Tricia Sundbeck
Dedication by Olivia Radecki:
This piece is dedicated to my parents, my brothers, and my entire family, for all of their love and support of me over the years, as they’ve gone around with me on the journey we call life.
Dedication by Clara Venia:
This is dedicated to my mom and my dad, because Eleanor Rigby is one of my mom's favorite Beatles songs and both my parents have been my biggest supporters.

To my beautiful dancers, for making this piece what it is, and for the wonderful memories I will cherish forever.

Through the Lonely Instruments for Needy Kids (LINKS) program, you can donate your used band or orchestra instrument to a young musician who cannot afford to rent or purchase their own. The LINKS instrument donation drive is at 10 a.m.-4 p.m. this Friday, May 10, and Saturday, May 11 2024, at any Willis Music or Buddy Rogers Music location. A project of CCMpower in partnership with Willis Music and Buddy Roger’s Music, LINKS began in 1994 as the brainchild of CCM alumnus Bill Harvey (BM Music Education, 1971). The owner of Buddy Roger’s Music, Harvey wanted to fill the need for students whose parents were unable to buy, rent or borrow an instrument. The solution was to create a “recycling program” for musical instruments.
