We appreciate our volunteers and would love for you to get involved and be a part of The Nutcracker Magic!
Basement Chaperones during the show (can watch your dancer while they are on stage).
This is a great option if your dancer is in more than one cast and you would like to chaperone a show and watch a show.
Ballet Buns and Party Scene Hair before the show
Party Scene students will have their hair styled in braids, ponytails, etc. Parents can do this before they arrive or we have helpers before the show. Since this is a classical ballet production we also like to ensure that each student's ballet bun is done in the neat, tidy, classical style for uniformity
Boutique before the show and intermission
Volunteers will help sell boutique items before the show and during intermission
Ticket Checkers before the show
Volunteers will check tickets before the show as people enter to their seats
Basic Sewing and Alterations
We have a variety of sewing jobs from basic sewing to advanced. If you would like to be involved with this we can assign sewing project during September and October.
Prop Construction and Painting
We will be constructing and painting a few new prop items this year. Please let us know if you would like to get involved!
Chaperones will supervise a group of students. Once the chaperone's group is called backstage to dance, chaperones may watch the group dance from the audience and return to the basement following the dance to continue chaperoning.
Chaperone Responsibilities:
Arrive 1 hour before the show and stay until all students in your group have signed-out at the end of the show.
Chaperone a group of students.
Commit to chaperoning for the full length of the show including the check-out of each child in your chaperone group.
Optional: Assist and supply quiet play, board games, and non-messy crafts.
Assist with costume changes if needed
Ensure all costumes are checked back in for the next show properly.
Chaperone Information:
Parents interested in chaperoning must sign-up with our form. Parents who are not chaperones will NOT be permitted into the basement dressing room before or during the show. This is for each student's safety.
Aunts, grandmas, older siblings/cousins, etc, are also welcome to be chaperones.
No students will be permitted into the audience at any point during the show. Students must stay with their class in the basement dressing room so they can be supervised at all times. Security will be stationed at all entrances and exits to the basement.
