Crazy Saturday Box
Crazy Saturday Box
Crazy Saturday is 11/7!
Get a box! Any box from a shoe box to a tote works. Ask a teacher and I’m sure they will give you an empty cardboard box from our copy paper. We will use these boxes as personal “lockers” during show week. This is where you will keep all personal belongings.
Here is a list of things to put in your box! These are all optional, but our veteran students say that they found they liked having the following: bobby pins, hairspray, snacks (no nuts), hair ties, water bottles, Liquid IV, gum, mints, extra socks and underwear, quiet games to play in down time, cough drops, something to cover your costume so you don’t have to change to eat.
Sets
Sets
We will have the open shop hours Wednesday 3:00-8:00 and Friday 3:00-5:00 during which we will build sets and make props and costumes. You do NOT have to stay for the whole open shop time and coming to shop time at all is not required. Just stop in when you can.
Please help to finish the seaweed if you have any downtime. We will need MAJOR help to finish sets on 11/4 and 11/6. We may also need set help on Crazy Saturday.
Props
Props
We have a few props to make yet. You should be using props in rehearsal!
Costumes + Hair/Makeup
Costumes + Hair/Makeup
Crafting day went great, but not everyone was able to come. Please make sure that you visit the costume shop to help with your costume items on Wednesday! Note that actors are responsible for their costumes. If something breaks or if you never made it… that’s on you! PLEASE communicate if you need help!
Gulls - make beaks, get feet sprayed
Rainbow fish - make vests - pick out skirts
Seahorses - make shoes, make headpiece
Make sure you know your plan for makeup!
Links for Parents
Links for Parents
Background Checks - All adults who will interact with our students or money MUST submit a background check to the Caledonia Resource Center 10 days before they wish to come in. This includes parent volunteers. It is highly recommended that you go ahead and submit a background check if you AT ALL think you might want to come in to help with the production. Send background checks to brennanm@calschools.org
Matinee Potluck Sign Up - Traditionally, we have a potluck to feed the kids between shows on our two-show days. Have fun with this! Remember, there are about 80 kiddos to feed, and we will also need help with clean-up/take-down. If you plan on your child eating from the potluck, it is expected that you contribute something to the potluck.
Show Week Jobs Sign Up - These are jobs for which we will need a particular number of slots filled for each show. If you volunteer for a job, you will get to see that show for free! Jobs include: Backstage Helper, Ticker Seller, Flowergram Table, Concession Stand, Usher, and Bringer of Snacks! The backstage snacks should only be individually packaged items!
Reimbursement Form - If you are buying something for the production, you will need to fill out a reimbursement form to get paid back. All purchases must be preapproved by the director, and all forms must be signed by the director. Forms must also be turned in with original receipts. If this is your first time being reimbursed, the CRC may contact you for more information (they may have you fill out a first-time account form). Turn reimbursement forms into the director of the show with original receipts.
How else can parents help?
Locker Tags
This is a school tradition that goes way back. Parents make decorative 8X5 cards with the kids' names and roles. These then go on their lockers. If anyone wants to take on this project, the kids would love it!
Photos
It would be SUPER awesome if someone (or a group) could take photos of the kids having fun for memories. If we could get them on a drive format and share them with all the parents, that would be great!!!
Where do parents/family get tickets?
All cast, crew, and pit will get 2 free comp tickets. These will be paper tickets given to the kids the week before the show. Should you want more than two tickets, you will need to purchase them either at the door or via our link (ticket link coming soon!)
Little Mermaid Calendar
Little Mermaid Calendar
Not everyone is called to every rehearsal! All rehearsals are in the FAC in North Campus unless stated. Crazy Saturday and the following week are mandatory for all cast and crew. Tech/crew are not required to attend until techie day. We will go over the calendar together at the first meeting. If you are having a hard time reading the calendar, just wait until then. We will walk you through it in person :)
Practice Music Tracks
Practice Music Tracks
For this program, we have been given RehearScore. This program allows you to listen to the vocal parts of the songs at home! You can download the MTI Player Application from the App Store, but there are a bunch of ways to access the score!
Download the RehearScore mobile app to get started learning the music! Sign in with username "littlemermaid" and password "95348993"
Strike will take place directly after the last show. No one goes home until we are done. This show shouldn't take more than about 60 minutes to clean up if everyone is working together. THIS WILL GO FASTER IF PARENTS HELP!
