Rehearsal and Performance Expectations
Dear Parents and Students,
We are so excited to have the Third annual RMJH musical! This year, we are going to take on the incredible task of bringing Lion King Jr. to the stage. If you’re wondering what the Jr. means, we will be using the same script that the broadway musical used but it has been cut down by a little over a third to make it easier for young students with little musical experience to get a taste of what it is like to be in a real musical. All of the music is the same, just some of the “Fluff” from the original show has been cut.
In order to have the best experience this year the directors, Mrs. Bell, Ms. Kiekel- Strouts, and Ms. Scott have a few rules and expectations that will need to be met throughout rehearsals and the run of the show.
Expectations
Students must keep their grades passing and their conduct at Satisfactory or higher. NO PASS NO PLAY
Students will need to be on time and at all required rehearsals, unless illness or prior arrangements have been made in advance.
Students will attend 75% or more of thier required rehearsals.
Students involved in activities that require them to miss 2 or more rehearsals a week can audition for minor roles, to allow for proper rehearsal time.
Students should only show up to the rehearsals they are called for. Please see the rehearsal calendar for calls.
Students are expected to bring scripts and pencils to rehearsal every day.
Students MUST remain in the rehearsal area at all times.
Students need to bring clothes and footwear that they can move and dance in. Please, no sandals or flip flops for rehearsals.
Students will wear shoes at all times during rehearsals. If students bring inappropriate shoes to rehearsals they will not be allowed to participate.
Students will need character jazz shoes for the performances.
Students need to bring their own water.
Students cannot drastically change their appearance 2 weeks prior to the performance.
Students planning to change your appearance drastically during the rehearsal process (dye, or cut more than 3 inches of hair) please check with the directors and make sure it will not conflict with your character's look.
Students must be picked up within 15 minutes of rehearsal release. We understand that sometimes things happen but repeated late pick ups will not be tolerated.
Students MUST be memorized (lines, songs, and dances) by the date given. MOST students will have to put in work outside of rehearsal time to memorize their lines, music, and dances. Students should NOT rely on rehearsals to get themselves memorized.
Students may bring a personal snack but sharing snacks will not be allowed as it distracts others and could cause an allergic reaction. All food must be eaten before rehearsals start. No fast food or door dash during rehearsals.
Students may bring homework to work on when they are not on stage.
Students are not to be on their phones during rehearsals.
Students will not post unauthorized pictures or videos of rehearsals, cast members, or crew members on social media or in private chats, violation of this rule will be cause for immediate dismissal from the play.
Students will only post positive comments, about the cast, crew and show, on social media.
Students will use positive comments about the cast, crew and show, in the rehearsal space.
Students will participate in any fundraisers we MAY have.
Students WILL have a $30 fee that will be used to purchase costumes. This fee is due By December 5th, 2023
We want this to be a fun and exciting experience for your students as well as their peers. If students cannot follow the expectations they will receive one personal warning. On the second offense, the warning will be sent to the parents. If there is a third violation the student will be dismissed from the cast. Please note, that any behavior that results in out-of-school suspension or in-school suspension MAY result in dismissal from the cast. Any action that violates another student's privacy WILL result in immediate dismissal.
