Any age children can become members and take part in our shows.
Youth Section: How to Join
The Youth Section is for ages 12-17 (inclusive) and meet every Sunday from 6pm till 8:30pm. Applying for a youth membership will not automatically allow you to join the Youth Section, due to a cap on the amount of children we can have at one time.
