Support the Arts
From the Director
The Arts Department at SBS is thriving. We have five key areas for students to be trained by experienced professionals innovating in their craft: Choral Music, Instrumental Music, Journalism & Yearbook, Theatre and Visual Art. We are more than just the talent and the performance. We are a family. Students are using their God-given talents to reach their potential on stage and parents are coming alongside with their time and treasures to support their students and the program. It is a blessing to lead such an outstanding arts community that continues to give back.
As a department, our desire is to offer opportunity to all families. Whether it be with early access to tickets, experiences with artists, reserved seating or performance time, we want everyone to feel like a part of our caring community.
I personally invite you to be a part of the SBS Arts Department by joining Arts Patrons and Director's Circle. Don't miss this opportunity for your family to experience the best of what our programs have to offer!

Arts Patrons
Enhance the SBS Arts Experience
Arts Patrons is supported annually by many generous alumni parents, current parents and friends. A gift to all the arts at Second Baptist School makes a difference to our students and faculty by providing arts programs, theatre and choral masterclasses, enhancements to events, and supplies needed to enhance the SBS experience. Every student is nurtured in the arts, beginning in lower school and developing according to each student’s interests and talent into middle and upper school. Participation as an Arts Patron allows the school to sustain its pursuit of excellence in the arts.
Director's Circle
The Best Seat in the House
This year, the upper school musical White Christmas will perform at Zilkha Hall at The Hobby Center. Zilkha Hall seats only 500 patrons. Due to limited seating in this venue, we encourage you to join Director’s Circle to ensure you receive the best seats possible (before the cast)! Please know the proceeds from Director’s Circle go directly to subsidize the cost of the theatre rental. Additional underwriting opportunities are also available.
You may join the Director’s Circle after the deadline; however, priority seating and acknowledgement in the program may not be available.
