Participating in the musical requires the same commitment and dedication that playing on the school’s sports teams requires. Just as students need to attend sports practices to learn to work together as a successful team, they need to attend rehearsals together to create a successful production! Rehearsal time is precious and the drama staff works hard to plan rehearsals that will maximize the students’ use of time.
Parent communication and involvement is essential! Without the support of parents, the musical could not happen! The directors are committed to constructing a rehearsal schedule that makes the best use of the students’ time while being sensitive to the children’s personal lives and academic responsibilities.
We also rely on your help in planning and scheduling with our rehearsal schedule in mind. When possible, please help us by scheduling appointments/lessons which do not interfere with pre-planned rehearsals. Should conflicts arise, please notify Mrs. Carroll, Ms. Wilson, and Mrs. Parsons as soon as possible. It is very difficult to re-stage or re-teach choreography when cast members are missing. Students who miss rehearsals may need to be removed from those scenes/songs in the production.
Parents, because of the many needs, we need adult help in numerous areas. If you are willing and able to assist us with set construction, costumes, makeup, or donations, please send us an email and let us know!
The dedication of the students, staff, and parents working together makes the Madison Drama program a special place to be - a place where all students are welcome; and where all students are encouraged to explore and create through the performing arts. Regardless of grade level or experience, kids build lasting friendships and create life-long memories. We hope that students and parents know and understand what is needed to make a commitment to participating in the musical.
We are looking forward to an incredible experience!
Musically,
The Madison Drama Staff
