May 6: During school hours, we will have a 1 -1/2 hour dress rehearsal at the Marriott Center starting at 10:30 AM.  This will be done in Field Trip format - lunches from home or from the school will be taken.  If your student is registered, watch for a permission slip.  We will be leaving the school at 9:30 AM via a school bus.  Students that registered for the event will be the only ones going to this dress rehearsal.  Students that didn't register, will have a normal day in school - see the WHAT IF Section at the bottom of this page.  

At this dress rehearsal, student will learn where we will be sitting in the evening performance, how to exit, and where to meet up at the end of the performance.  Your student will know this location when you drop your student off at 6:15 PM.  Also this will be projected on the Jumbotron TV of where our school  If students arrive after 7:00 PM, they may not be able to sit with their class in the flag.  So please be prompt and on time.  

Please have them dressed in their Hope of America shirt and dark pants.  Shirts will be given the morning before the field trip rehearsal.  Teachers will have all the props needed for the performance - sunglasses, flashlights, and flags.  Please make sure that your student is fed before dropping them off, as there is no snacks or dinner provided.  Also have them go to the bathroom, so that they will not have to go during the performance.

When the event is over, please be prompt in getting your student from the location provided by the Megaton TV at the end of the performance. It is expected that you attended this event to watch your student perform, and that you are onsite, if any problems arise.  We will have a 'CHERRY HILL' banner/flag to help you locate us.  

Event photos and video of the performance will be available for download from the website.  Instructions will be given after the performance night.  (I will post a new page on this website, when I get the link.)

WHAT IF???

What if I didn't get my student registered before March 15?  Can I still register them?

NO, I am sorry, students that did not get registered before the deadline, cannot attend.  They will still be performing in the school assembly on Friday, May 9 at 12:45 PM.  So all their hard work at learning the actions and the songs have not been for not, and you are invited to attend the school to watch the assembly.   

What if something happens and my student or I cannot attend the event?

Please contact me, via REMIND and let me know your plans.  Keep me in the loop, so I don't go looking for and worrying about a student that I thought was going to be there. 

What if I need to leave during the performance?

Again, I will have my phone on me.  Please send me a text, via REMIND; and I will try my best to connect you and your student.  

What if I have another question that this webpage didn't address?

Please message me on REMIND.  I will try and assist you the best I can.
