AM&T has MOVED!

AM&T WE HAVE MOVED!

We are teaching classes at the new location! The address is   105 West Main Street Hahira, GA.   We are directly in front of the red caboose in downtown Hahira.   We are closed for our Annual Summer Break beginning Monday May 30th through Friday, June 3rd. June's Broadway Camp begins Monday, June 6th and takes the place of June's classes.   July's Broadway Camp begins Monday, July 11th and takes the place of July's classes.   If your child has opted to remain in classes rather than attend camp, please schedule a class time with me ASAP. We are open for private lessons on Tuesdays in June & July. Remember, to stay active with AM&T & to avoid the Annual Registration Fee, your child must either attend one of the Broadway Camps, or attend classes in June or July. Many thanks for your support!!   This building is a dream come true and an answer to many prayers.  www.amandasmodels.com  (229) 834-3291

Hello AM&T!

PRINT THIS, POST IT on the REFRIGERATOR!!!!  

YOU WILL NEED IT!

When we first opened on April 1st...yes, I began teaching classes on April's Fools Day....I never thought we would see the day where we are celebrating the 10th Year. I have been teaching modeling, acting, pageantry and personal development since my 15th Birthday but having a business of our own has been so special.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand

Six hundred minutes,

How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights

In cups of coffee

In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

INTERESTED in  

MODELING & ACTING in NYC  

this SUMMER?  

MEETING this SUNDAY, FEB. 27th at 3pm

AM&T Every week, I watch "Toddlers & Tiaras" and the common quote from the mothers is "they hope their child's experiences in pageants will help them break into the modeling and acting business".

We can do more than give you "hope" to break into the business. We actually help your child work in NYC this Summer! 

If you are interested in learning more, please come to the Information Meeting at AM&T (1813 Iola Drive Valdosta, GA) this Sunday, February 27th at 3pm.

If you have ANY questions, please let me know!

Many thanks!

Congratulations AM&T!

Hello!

Congratulations to all of the Models & Actors who participated in the Halloween/Fall Festival Costume Fashion Show at the Valdosta Mall today!

You all were FABULOUS!! I am SO proud!! It was so much FUN!!

The pictures are posted on my Facebook Page.

We have been asked to do the very same Fashion Show again in a few weeks. Details to follow.

Let's all remember a few rules for Fashion Shows since we have three scheduled between now and the end of the year:

• Only one parent and the model/actor are permitted backstage. Please do not bring siblings, guests, etc. backstage. Most of our models/actors leave their valuables in the dressing room during the show and we need these items protected, as well as the clothes from the stores. At the Back to School Fashion Show, I had $50 cash stolen from Kaileigh's Model's Bag. If we see additional people backstage, we will ask your guests to leave.
  
• If you are late, you will not model. It is just too difficult to stop everything to make arrangements for those who decide to arrive 15 minutes before show time.
  
• Food and Drink are NOT permitted while you are wearing the clothes you are going to model. Food is not permitted in the dressing room period.
  
• Gum is NEVER permitted at any AM&T functions.
  
• We often have parents (AM&T's Angels) helping with our events. Please respect them as you would Amber and me.
  

Keep up the great work!! You all make AM&T is the PLACE to BE!!!

Blessings!!

Ms. Amanda & Amber

CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU!

AM&T WAY TO GO EVERYONE!!

Hello! Congratulations to everyone who attended the Open Call on Friday night and to everyone who attended the Jayme Pervis Workshop on Saturday morning and to everyone who attended the Barry Shapiro Workshop on Saturday afternoon. Congratulations to everyone who participated in the Smoke n' Pig BBQ Fundraiser to earn money to attend this weekend's workshops. I am SO proud of you all!! You proved that if you want something for your child, you will make it happen. It was the easiest fundraiser we have ever produced. Elizabeth Steedley sold 86 plates and Amy Booth sold more than 70 (I cannot remember the exact number but I do know 60 were for Delivery!). Most everyone else sold between 20 and 50!! YOU ALL ROCK! I want to thank you all for your support. Jayme and Barry coming to our agency was a really big deal to AM&T. To have 54 people attend the Open Call and to have 28 in both workshops on Saturday speaks volumes for our agency. It shows that you are serious about your child's potential in this industry and you are serious about increasing their self-confidence in every way possible. It showed you support our agency and that means everything to Jayme. As you heard her say....if you do not support us, she won't support you! Love Jayme!! :) I have her notes and will be sending those out beginning tomorrow. Amber and I hope to bring in more agencies from major markets for Open Calls such as CFT in Orlando, Karen Greer Agency in Miami, Elite/Factor in Atlanta. We want you all to have every single opportunity to succeed. We are also going to attend The Arts Convention in June. We will be doing several Smoke n' Pig Fundraisers, as well as The Mother Daughter Tea in May to help everyone who wants to attend....attend. I was beyond proud that are pictures are not only approved, but LOVED by J Pervis Talent. We are back to shooting on Sundays again. It is amazing to me that our special lighting is God's lighting in our studio garage. Be sure to come in to the runway room this week to see the pictures on the wall! I hope you all have a wonderful week! Our studio/agency looks amazing and I hope you are as proud of it as we are! Thanks!! Ms. Amanda & Amber

AM&T It's Show Time!

AM&T SPECIAL UPDATE!!

We are NOT affiliated with "It's a F.A.C.T." nor do we endorse it.

Several of you have received an email this week requesting that you "LIKE" the page on Facebook.

This is being held by a former employee.

This is a competing business for AM&T.

Our students involved in our modeling & acting classes are not HIS former students but AM&T's students.

We know we have your support and we appreciate it more than you know!
