Just a friendly reminder that at the beginning of this process....

, , , ,

Parents signed contracts stating that they understood attendance was mandatory for the week of the show. No exceptions, please. I know we are all busy. We have spent a LOT of time, money and energy to make your students look awesome in the production, but we need them there the week of the show. I totally understand the give and take leading up to that week, but I really do need them there from Monday on. Thanks so much.

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!

, ,

This week we will begin our later rehearsals. Here’s the scoop for Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday as far as dinner and dismissal go.

, ,

After school - snack break in music room

4:00ish begin rehearsal

6:00 dismiss the “early dismissal munchkins.” This is the same group of Munchkins who were dismissing early in previous rehearsals. These Munchkins will not eat dinner at the school.

6:15 dinner break for the remainder of the cast. Martin Musicals will provide food.

6:45 resume rehearsal

8:00ish dismiss full cast.

Remind text will notify parents if we are running ahead or behind.

 

ALL CAST MEMBERS must be in their correct shoes (with hair pulled back for girls.)

Thursday - full cast please bring costume base

DANCERS must be in costume base all week to begin practicing costume changes.

, , ,

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!!!
