2-13-19 Extended Weekend for Winnie the Pooh!

Post date: Feb 13, 2019 9:28:20 PM

It’s Wednesday and you have a six day break ahead!

We just never really know what each day brings, friends. But I’m thankful for our God who holds the future in His hands! May this find you and yours healthy as a horse or seriously on the mend. I am looking forward to having our cast together next week and ready to dive in, fresh and energized!

Although we’ve had to cancel some small specific rehearsals due to absences, our large group rehearsals have been going well. This cast is full of kids that are simply nice to be around. I love their easy-going spirit, kindness to one another and the joyful atmosphere they create.

4/5th graders will be rehearsing at lunch only Wed. next week. Please remind your child that the priority for now is lyrics, lyrics, lyrics! I have already sent home printed lyrics for 3 different songs and more are on the way. Please ask your student how they are doing in this regards. A little home study time would be, as Tigger would say, tee- rrific! Actually, just an hour ago we choreographed our Tigger song. Have them practice that quick first dance in front of a mirror before returning next week, please. The Backson song also needs to be memorized by then as well.

6/7/8 graders will also only be meeting together once next week, Friday morning. However, extra scene rehearsals with small groups are scheduled, typically W/F lunches and/or during M/W/F study halls. Memorizing lines & lyrics are immediate priorities for all of our elective cast, as we get into blocking and choreography. Please ask your student how they are doing in that regards. Perhaps you heard that we recorded a snow-day announcement that sadly didn’t get used this week (sigh). We will hold on to it for another week or so, just in case. And then I will make it available to y’all on the website.

THE FOLLOWING WEEK (Feb 25-Mar 1 Hoop Week) will be a full-meal-deal of our regular rehearsals and all 4/5th cast members (plus any 6/7/8th graders who want to join us), TUESDAY, FEB 26th AFTER SCHOOL 3:00-5:00pm. This rehearsal will address some big choreography- good times ahead! Thank you for these two hours a priority!

LARGE CARDBOARD BOXES! We are creating a forest of cardboard trees, and the COLLECTION IS NOW ON! Please send in any large boxes you’ve got by Wed Feb 27th. Want me to meet you at drop off/ pickup with a cart? No problem! Want to create trees? Let me know. We will soon have supplies & instructions.

AFTER SCHOOL REHEARSAL SNACKS Our Supa Snack Sista, Karen Fruehauf, is co-ordinating! Be expecting a SIgnUp Genius link soon. Questions? Please contact her at: kfruehauf@yahoo.com If your student has special dietary needs, you are always welcome to send them with appropriate snacks on those after school rehearsal days.

HERE again is the website link for all things Winnie the Pooh- schedules, info, lyric sheets... :)

Have a healthy extended holiday weekend!
