Week 8! Last week we had a great turnout for rehearsals. Thank you! We are brimming with excitement and gratitude for all that the kids are accomplishing and all your support of them and the production! These last two weeks are when all the pieces become a show! Dedicated parents have been readying costumes, props, and sets, and our kids are still working hard to learn and remember lines, dances, and exits. Please encourage them to practice at home; they got a taste for what they do and do not know last week, and hopefully got a little fear in them. :) Just a couple times through each song can make a huge difference. Access the music and dance videos under Practice at Home. Enable the "comments" feature in google photos to best navigate our Dance Videos album.
These last two weeks are all FULL CAST rehearsals and they are long! Please send students with an after school snack and something to do while they wait. When students are not on stage, they will be waiting for their next scene in the library. There is no food allowed in the library, so we will give students 10 minutes right after school to eat a snack in the cafeteria.
Tickets will be available for purchase online sometime this week, so watch your email for the link.
Please make sure you have all the March rehearsals and performances on your calendar. They are all after school, plus one Saturday, March 15th. They will involve the whole cast each time. Please re-arrange piano and karate, etc. to be there for the full time on your cast's days, so we can finalize choreography without gaping holes of missing children. We promise, your children will thank you because they will know where they are supposed to be and what they are supposed to be doing. All the remainkng rehearsal and performance dates are included in this email.
Tech and Dress rehearsal week, March 10-15, is mandatory, and unless you listed specific conflicts on your child's registration papers in November, we expect everyone there, and REALLY need your support! Final Dress Rehearsal is Saturday, March 15th. We will be taking cast pictures that Saturday (the one they hang in the school hall for years to come) at the Saturday Dress Rehearsal.
Thank you SO much for signing up to help as a chaperone, or with concessions, or costume changes, etc. There are still available slots to help: Volunteer Sign Up.
Concession donations are being collected. It's an easy way to contribute! Concession Donation Sign-Up
Sock and shoe info has been added to the Costume Information Page. Please know that you do not need to go out and buy new shoes if you don't have what's listed. See if you can borrow something first, send us an email for suggestions, or make do as best you can with what you've got.
