NEXT WEEK IS SHORT! (Feb 19-21):

4/5th graders will be rehearsing only once next week, Wed lunch. Please remind your child that the priority for now is lyrics with choreography! Please ask your students how they are doing in this regard.

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 7/8 M/W/F study halls. Memorizing lines & lyrics with choreography are immediate priorities as we get into the show deeper & deeper. Please ask your students how they are doing in that regard.

4/5/6/7/8 THE FOLLOWING WEEK (Feb 24-28 Hoop Week) will be a full-meal-deal of our regular lunch & study hall rehearsals. 4/5th cast members (plus any 6/7/8th graders who want to join us), TUESDAY, FEB 25th AFTER SCHOOL 3:00-5:00pm. This rehearsal will address some big choreography and blocking! Families, thank you for making these show-saving two hours a priority!

ON THE HORIZON FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO PLAN AHEAD

• 1. MANDATORY 4/5/6/7/8 AFTER SCHOOL REHEARSAL, TUES MARCH 17 (3-5pm)

  2. March partnership/supply drive with Oregon Dog Rescue (arf! arf!)

  3. Props & Costume individual and full cast needs information

  4. Your family plans re: Friday, April 24th. We have 3 performances in one day. HUGE. I understand and have heard your concern. As a director I am also thinking about the exhaustion level of our students and quality of their performances as that day progresses, not to mention their quality participation in afternoon classes. For your consideration, I anticipate early morning calls for makeup to begin approximately at 6:30am. The portraits, sound check, morning assembly, outreach show and promotional activities should be completed by 11:15am. Returning call times for the evening show will begin approximately at 5:30pm. After speaking with administration regarding this matter, we will not be able to have an official cast family dismissal this year. HOWEVER, we are in agreement that you may feel free to do what you think is best for your child/ family to have a successful day. Teachers have been alerted and we will re-evaluate dismissal possibilities for next year!

Have a happy & healthy holiday weekend!
