Where in the world are the Talent Show DVDs? If you’ve been wondering about your DVD order from the Talent Show, here’s the deal. Last year we outsourced the duplicating of the DVDs to a company in California. This year, after much consideration, we decided it would be beneficial to purchase our own duplicating machine. With the Talent Show, Kindergarten Circus, and theatrical productions, we knew it would be put to good use. So, approval was obtained through the central administration office, and a DVD duplicator was purchased. It has taken much longer than anticipated to get all of the approvals. However, the duplicating function will be greatly simplified in years to come. We will be filling the DVD orders soon. Thank you for your patience! --Talent Show Committee.
