YGB Application
Young, Gifted, and Black is closed for the summer. We will be moving back to Oakland in the Fall of 2025. Rehearsals happen weekly during the school year on Tuesday’ and Thursdays from 4:30pm-6:30pm. The commitment is about 4 - 6 hours per week with additional shows on some weekends throughout the year. YGB is accepting applications for the 25-26 school year, that begins September 2025 - ending May 2026.
Please sit down with your child and walk them through this form. Fill out the form using their specific words and answers. A critical part of this process is having a record of each child demonstrating that they want to be members of YGB. Don’t force it, remember participating in YGB is as much up to them as it is to you. Depending on the age and readiness of the child, each new recruit is put on a temporary probation period to determine if YGB is the right fit. Upon receiving your application you can expect to hear from us within a few weeks about next steps.
