The time has come when each rehearsal includes almost the entire cast!  This means that each day there are over 100 kids waiting for their time on stage! 

Beginning tomorrow, the kids will be waiting in the music room for their time to go on stage.  The routines and policies we begin tomorrow will be very similar to how it will be at the high school during the week of the show.  We wanted you to be aware of their expectations from now on.  With this many kids waiting together it is important that everyone understand our expectations.

*Kids will be waiting for long periods of time so they need to bring a calm activity to pass the time (card games, coloring, books to read, etc)

*We will allow electronics UNLESS it becomes an issue (viewing inappropriate things, not paying attention to their call to go on stage, etc) ****once we get to the high school, electronics will not be allowed in the cast waiting room

*We will have someone to call each group when it is their time to go on stage

*They may bring a water bottle labeled with their name.  

*They will be asked to go to the bathroom before rehearsal begins and then wait until the end or until a break. 

*Limiting bathroom and drink breaks will ensure that kids are in the music room when their scene is called and they don't miss their time on stage.

*When practices end at 6:30 (like this Friday) the cast will be provided a snack.  When practices end at 8:00 (as well as the entire show week) they will be provided dinner.  

*Unless absolutely necessary all cast members need to stay for the entire rehearsal.  When even one person is missing it changes how the scene is run.

Thank you for being supportive of our policies and rules! We want to make sure this experience is positive for the entire cast!
