As most parents know all too well, recital season has just wrapped up. All through the month of June just about every possible activity has some sort of year ending performance. Be it piano recital, a dance recital, a Taekwondo competition etc... you can bet that your kid will be doing some performing sometime during this month. For us here at KAOS the school year always comes to a finale with our yearly recital. Our recital has evolved over the years but this year we took it to a whole new level. We moved our recital from the function room in the bar above our store (which BTW is a really nice room) to The Assembly Hall theatre. Assembly Hall is a historic building set on Lake Ontario on the Humber College Campus. The theatre seats almost 200 and the stage is fully equipped with a full lighting rig and a very nice PA system. This enhanced performance environment helped take our student's performances to a whole new level, not to mention was a way more comfortable for the spectators.

Now that the recital is in the books, we take time to reflect on the year just past and the new year waiting for us in September. Looking back I can say without hesitation that this was the best year for education that our business has ever enjoyed. Registration was strong, our teaching staff was great, administration was totally smooth and the new programs that we introduced were very well received. Looking forward, it is going to be tough to top but we've got all summer now to figure out how do it.
