We are very proud of all of these students and their accomplishments. This year, their set incorporates the US History curriculum by taking audiences on a tour through the historical wars of the past, from the Revolutionary War all the way to the War in Afghanistan, students make connections between the arts and curriculum learned in their classes while taking top honors in their performances. Aptitude has 4 more competitions taking place over the next 5 weeks within San Diego and Los Angeles counties.
