The Young Performers Showcase was developed by Cruzville Productions, a group of Santa Cruz business professionals, to supplement the lack of adequate funding for music programs in state and local schools. Studies confirm that involvement with music and performance in school can have a profound impact on academic performance, self-esteem, concentration, self-expression and overall connectedness to school.
