πŸ¦… BLACK HAWKS VAPA TRYOUTS ARE HERE! 🎭πŸ₯πŸ“£

Garvey/Allen STEAM Academy | 2026–2027 Visual & Performing Arts Program

The time is HERE! πŸ”₯

Garvey/Allen STEAM Academy is officially preparing for 2026–2027 Black Hawks Visual & Performing Arts (VAPA) Tryouts, and we are looking for our next generation of performers, leaders, creators, and champions!

If your achiever is interested in joining Black Hawks Cheer, G Phi A Step Team, Goldie Squad Dance Team, or the AllenManiacs Drumline, now is the time to step up and represent the legacy.

Our VAPA program is more than performancesβ€”it’s about discipline, confidence, creativity, leadership, teamwork, school pride, and excellence. Whether your achiever shines on the mat, commands the stage, moves with rhythm, or keeps the beat, there’s a place for them in the Black Hawk family.
