Ignite Elite Performance Team

What is IEPT?

The Ignite Elite Performance Team is a dynamic group of performers representing all skill levels, who showcase their talents throughout the metro area while embodying the Ignite mission: putting great people first, and great performers second. This team, along with their families, forms the heart of Ignite, serving as a model of kindness, service, and leadership within the organization. Members of the Elite Performance Team are held to a higher standard than SPARK participants in mainstage performances or camps, demonstrating exceptional commitment and character both on and off the stage.

OUR GOALS FOR IGNITE’S ELITE PERFORMANCE TEAM:

• To help each performer gain confidence
• To provide individualized attention in each area of performance
• Challenge each participant as both performer and person
• To serve as ambassadors of Ignite’s SPARK mission (Service, Performance, Accessibility, Real Life Experience and Kindness Initiatives) by performing throughout the Metro area (and now beyond)!

WHAT KIND OF ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS DO WE DO?

Throughout the year, we host a variety of “Cause” and “Applause” events that support both community service and celebrate our talents. Our “Cause” events include activities like visiting assisted living facilities and performing at the Cardinals Care Christmas party at Busch Stadium. For our “Applause” events, we take pride in performances such as singing the National Anthem at Gateway Grizzlies games, participating in Ignite the Night, and attending the Junior Theatre Festival in Atlanta, Georgia. In addition to these events, our team engages in numerous team-building and bonding activities throughout the season to strengthen our connection and enhance our collaboration.
