Oaks- Jr. Troupe
"They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do."
Roots and Wings’ Oaks Troupe is our more junior group. Ranging from grades 4-8, these young people are learning the focus, discipline, and maturity needed to be a future Eagles member. It might look easy to some, but singing, dancing, and acting all at the same time is quite difficult! The Oaks students usually come in with very little training but they jump right in to meaty material. These capable students are so full of life and energy and are keen to contribute to each piece we create.
