Do you have siblings in different recitals? Because of the inconvenience, APA will offer families who have siblings in different recital acts, 4 free tickets to your second show time. We will put a credit in your APA account for the value of 4 free tickets ($40) to deduct off future tuition. APA has over 250 musicians performing with multiple siblings so it can be difficult to schedule all siblings together.
