PLEASE NOTE THAT EVERYONE IS IN CHOIR. PLEASE BE CAREFUL TO LOOK IF CHOIR MEETS. THERE ARE SEVERAL CHOIR TIMES THAT WILL NOT MEET. (THERE WILL BE TIMES YOUR CHILD WILL BE PULLED FROM CHOIR TO SEE MRS. DUNN) ON THE SCHEDULE THERE ARE 2 COLUMNS FOR CHOIR- CHOIR YES AND CHOIR NO BE SURE TO LOOK AT THE CHOIR NO COLUMN FOR DATES THERE WILL BE NO CHOIR. IF YOU ARE NOT SIGNED UP FOR REMIND MESSAGES YOU NEED TO. I SEND REMINDER TEXT MESSAGES FOR EVERY REHEARSAL . THERE IS A SIGN UP SHEET ON THE BACK TABLE.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU REMIND YOUR CHILD WHERE THEY ARE TO GO IN THE MORNINGS. THEY WILL EITHER COME TO CHOIR IN MY ROOM, MS. PEASON’S ROOM OR MY ROOM FOR A SPECIAL VOCAL REHEARSAL PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU REMIND YOUR CHILD ON DAYS THEY STAY AFTER SCHOOL.

IF YOU ARE HELPING WITH BUILDING AND/OR PAINTING THE SET PLEASE PRINT YOUR NAME, PHONE AND EMAIL ON THE SIGNUP SHEET. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE PLANS BY THE MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY SO WE CAN PLAN BLOCKING AROUND WHAT YOU COME UP WITH. THE OTHER AREAS WE NEED HELP ARE AS FOLLOWS: COMING IN AT 7:00 AM TO HELP STUDENTS WITH MEMORIZATION. HELP WITH AFTER SCHOOL REHEARSALS (CROWD CONTROL) HELP BACKSTAGE WITH MIC CHANGES, STAGE CREW, ETC. SECURING ADS FOR THE PROGRAM LAYOUT OF THE PROGRAM COSTUMES (SHOPPING, SEWING, ETC.) MAKEUP/HAIR FOR ALL THE SHOWS SPOTLIGHT HELP WITH SOUND CUES HELP WITH CURTAIN CUES

SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER YOU GAVE ME DATES OF CONFLICTS A WHILE BACK. I HAVE TRIED TO MAKE THE SCHEDULE ACCORDINGLY. LAST YEAR WE DID NOT HAVE ONE REHEASAL WITH EVERYONE PRESENT UNTIL THE WEEK OF THE SHOW. IF WE HAVE ONE PERSON OUT FOR A BLOCKING REHEARSAL WE HAVE TO SPEND VALUABLE TIME FILLING THAT PERSON IN AT THE NEXT REHEARSAL. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. YOUR CHILD WILL BE TIRED! THEY WILL WORK HARD! THE PAYOFF IS SOMETHING THEY WILL NEVER FORGET! THE LAST 2 WEEKS WE JUST CANNOT HAVE ANYONE OUT. PLEASE PLAN AHEAD FOR THIS.

YOU WILL NOTICE ON THE SCHEDULE THERE ARE DEADLINES FOR WHEN WHICH SCENES ARE TO BE MEMORIZED. ENCOURAGE, HELP AND MONITOR YOUR CHILD’S PROGRESS. FOR SOME, THERE IS A LOT OF DIALOGUE.

LASTLY, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A CAST PARTY AFTER THE SHOW SATURDAY IN THE CAFETERIA. IF YOU ARE WILLING TO HEAD THAT UP AND DELEGATE LET ME KNOW! ANY QUESTIONS?
