The last week of rehearsals is a VERY busy week with lots going on! Please keep these things in mind as you prepare for the final stretch:
• Watch Facebook OFTEN and make sure you have joined our Remind group.
o This is where we will post last minute reminders, notices if groups get to leave early, notices of when rehearsal is over, etc.
• All rehearsals the final week are at the Durant Auditorium at Weatherford High School
• Drop off/Pick up
o You are responsible for getting your child to the high school each day (carpool if needed!)
o You must check in your child each day at 4:00 at the high school outside the band hall/choir room. Enter in the outside door to the left of the main High School entrance. It will have a sign outside that says “Musicals Enter Here”.
o You must check out your child each evening from the choir room only after they have been cleared by costumes
• ***Dinner time is new this year***
o Call time is 4:00 and we will feed kids at 4:00 when they arrive at the Durant. This will allow everyone to eat before costumes and mics. If your child will need a snack for later please make sure they bring it labeled with their name, does not contain sugary or messy foods, and water only.
• All kids need to wear their costume base each day to rehearsal. This was addressed on Facebook so please refer back to Michelle Hayes’ previous posts about what your child needs.
o Please also make sure they come each day with basic stage makeup on.
o Please make sure your child does not wear their dance shoes outside. They need to wear something else to the Durant and change there.
o Please have your child bring a bag (LABELED WITH THEIR NAME) each day to put their regular clothes in while they are in costume.
o Again, please understand that (especially on show nights) it may take several minutes before your child can be checked out. We must make sure every part of every costume is accounted for especially since so many of our costumes are rented this year.
• Tickets will be for sale each day at the high school at drop off and pick up. Each cast member (not chorus camp) will receive 2 tickets as part of their musical fee. Additional tickets are $5 each. Cash or check. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door for $5.
• Please send your child with a quiet activity each afternoon. NO ELECTRONICS PLEASE. They will spend a large portion of each afternoon/evening waiting in the choir room so they need to bring something to pass the time.
• Above all please be flexible! We will not know until we begin rehearsing at the Durant how each scene will go. Some scenes may take more or less time than others but please trust that we want to do what it takes to make this the best show ever!
THANK YOU FOR LETTING YOUR CHILD BE PART OF #BEASTMODE!
