Yanco Public School, Leeton High School and Leeton Public School will take part in the event this week and students have been busily preparing in the weeks leading up to the moment when they take to the stage.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of KROP, with LPS assistant principal Rachel Thomason looking forward to the many performances.
"The students have been busy rehearsing," she said.
"I know they are all very excited about it and can't wait for it.
"This year we are doing a combined year 5 and 6 choir and dance performance called You Can't Stop the Beat.
"It's really special to be taking part in the 10th KROP."
KROP is an analogy for the many productive agricultural crops grown in the Riverina.
It symbolises the growth of education and talent of students from throughout the region.
"KROP builds on the creative and practical artistic talents of our students and provides the opportunity to perform to a wider audience," Mrs Thomason said.
"Riverina schools set the highest standards in all academic areas and students benefit from being part of a strong and sharing professional network.
"This allows us to provide our students with this KROP experience and ensures the talent is celebrated and advertised to our communities."
KROP will be held at the Griffith Regional Theatre on Thursday and Friday, with two evening performances and a matinee show.
