  • Fall 2026 UpBeat! Registration Information

    UpBeat! has 3 sections - UpBeat! Junior for students 8-15 years old, UpBeat! Virtual for ages 16 & up, and UpBeat! In-person for 16 & up.
  • Have you ever participated in a CFCArts program before?*
  • Attendance requirement

    We ask that all members attend 85% of rehearsals (10 of 12 rehearsals for all 3 sections) and all tech rehearsals (4 of 4 for Adult, 3 of 3 for Junior, Virtual to attend scheduled recording session).

    We structure UpBeat! so that we have small scenes for each member to shine. When members are absent, it greatly affects the rest of the group.

    If a member is to miss more than the allotted 2 absences, we may have to minimize their role in the show or recast as appropriate, depending on the situation. If there is a reason that you would need to miss more than the allotted absences, please reach out to us. We are happy to work with you on a case-by-case basis, as we know that life happens.

    For any last-minute absences, please let us know by email as soon as possible, preferably at least 2 hours before rehearsal.

    Rehearsal Dates for Fall 2026:

    • VIRTUAL: Mondays 6:30-7:30pm via Zoom Starting August 3rd (No rehearsal on Labor Day, September 7)
