While the only "typical" daily schedule on a summer program is one that changes constantly, the basic framework for APTC days will look like the following:
| 7:00 AM |
Wakeup, clean rooms, get ready for the day |
| 8:00 AM |
Breakfast |
| 9:00 AM |
Music, Choreography or Blocking Rehearsal |
| Noon |
Lunch |
| 1:00 PM |
Music, Choreography or Blocking Rehearsal |
| 5:00 PM |
Hotel Time |
| 5:30 PM |
Dinner |
| 6:30 PM |

| 9:30 PM |
Social or Tech Time (Pool, Bonfire, Dress Rehearsals, etc.) |
| 10:30 PM |
Room Time |
| 11:00 PM |
Lights Out! |
Rehearsals may be divided into two or three different sections depending on the program and the activities involved. Often, we divide the students up into 2 or 3 groups to give them more individualized attention in each of their rehearsal blocks. Free time before lunch and dinner will vary, also depending on the activities and the day. Bedtime may be pushed back one or two nights to accommodate guest speakers, cookouts, and nights we camp out.
