Hello everyone!! I know there have been lots of questions about HAIR & MAKEUP! Here is the post!!

, ,

If you missed any of the videos on the “how-to” for makeup then click HERE.

CHORUS CAMP- arrive at your call time with full munchkin makeup. GIRLS HAIR should be out of their face. You can wear it straight, curly, low ponytail, low bun, half up, braids, etc. they will be wearing something on their heads so nothing high. BOYS HAIR should be combed neatly and parted on the side or in the middle. They will also be wearing something on their heads. 

EMERALD CITY CHORUS/OZIANS-  arrive at your call time with basic stage makeup. GIRLS HAIR should be out of their face. You can wear it straight, curly, hair up, in a bun. We will know more specifically how their hair should be done when they are fitted in their costumes. Some may have hats. BOYS HAIR- neatly combed/styled

MUNCHKINS(those not called at 4)- arrive at your call time with full munchkin makeup. GIRLS HAIR should be out of their face. You can wear curls, half up, ponytail, or bun. Once they are fitted in their costumes we’ll know better what to tell you to do with their hair. Some with have hats, flower pots, etc. BOYS HAIR: if your munchkin does not have a secondary part then you can have some fun with their hair. I have posted several examples of munchkin hair. 

CROWS/DANCING JITTERBUG TREES- arrive at your call time with basic stage makeup. Makeup video is posted on Martin Musicals page. GIRLS need a high bun(unless they have the early call time, then their hair will be done at the Durant)

JITTERBUGS/TORNADO- arrive at your call time with basic stage makeup MINUS LIPSTICK. HAIR in a bun. 

Forgive me if I missed your actor and please bring it to my attention in the comments. Let me know if there are any questions.

Chorus Camp Girl Parents:

, ,

I know that I checked a bunch of you off the list for your bases on Saturday.  I am trying to remember who has what base to match them with the tutus and tunics and I am wishing I had thought to take pictures.  If you could take a picture of the base and and post it in the comments with your daughters name, or send it to me in messenger I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you!

, , ,

Costumes: I have a couple of costume notes here.  So read this entire post please.

, , ,

1. Chorus Camp, if I missed checking your costume base today you can just send me a picture on messenger of your kids in their base, or just the base you have and kids name, and I will check them off my list.  

 

2.  I spoke to a couple of mom’s on the first workday, who said their girls would bring their own black leotards.  I can’t remember who all told me this.  Would you remind me in the comments if this was you.

 

3.  A big thank you to the amazing parents who helped me out on costume today for work day!!!

Show security volunteers

, ,

Good morning parents!

I have three volunteers for Friday in the balcony for security people. You’re only role is to make sure that nobody sitting in the front area or running around in that middle walk breezeway area. 

I need one more for Friday night and I need two more for Saturday night in the balcony.

The people on the balcony are going to be needed the duration of the show.  The perks of the balcony you get to watch your kiddo and volunteer at the same time.

I still need one more intermission concession person Friday and I need 2 people intermission concession people Saturday.

Thank you to those who have volunteered and looking forward to who else wants to help. Please comment on here or message me so I can put you down.
