Tech Week

Tech Week Has Arrived!

We have only 2 more rehearsals before our performances. ALL students need to work on their lines at home as MANY are still needing  significant prompting. I have included some other important reminders for this week below.

Costumes:

1. Students may choose to wear a light blush and or lipstick if they would like, though it is not required. Please do not over do it. Do not send makeup to school, have your child apply all make up at home.
2. All long hair must be pulled back out of your child's face. This is VERY important!
3. Students should come to school wearing their costume on Friday if possible. Please send a change of clothes to school if needed for after the performance. Students will bring their costume home so they can arrive wearing it on Saturday.

Rehearsal Schedule for the week:

• Wednesday June 1st till 4:30
• Thursday June 2nd till 4:30
• No rehearsal after school Friday (Don’t forget we have performances Friday morning)

Performances:

1. Friday June 3rd: Please arrive at school promptly, in costume if possible. Students can bring a change of clothes
2. Saturday June 4th cast call is 4pm
3. Doors open for parents at 5pm. Tickets will be on sale at the show or you can pre-order by sending in the order form your child brought home, the form is also online on the play website.
4. Show times Saturday are 5:15pm and 7pm
5. Students will have a pizza cast party in between shows. If you have not done so already please make sure to send in your $10 donation to cover costs of pizza and dessert.

Reminders

Thank you to all of the parents that sent costumes in on Wednesday. I got a good feel for many of the costumes.
A reminder to Ensemble and villagers that they need SOLID colored t-shirts and shorts, please try to use bright primary colors only. I highly recommend short sleeves.
Grody Gobsters should be wearing a combination of black and white, remember no symbols on either.

If your child has not yet filled out their online Bio please have them do that this weekend. The link is on the side of the blog.

Rehearsals this week are as follows: (These rehearsals are long so please feel free to send an extra snack for them to eat before rehearsal. I also suggest an extra water bottle as it gets very hot in the cafeteria.)

Tuesday: 2:30 - 4:00
Wednesday 2:30 - 4:30
Thursday 2:30 - 4:30

I will send out information at the beginning of next week about when costumes should be brought in and how performances will be handled.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

The next 2 ½ weeks are going to go by VERY quickly and there are several important pieces of information you all must have.

Bio Form

Hi Parents!

Yesterday students had a very productive full cast rehearsal. We worked on several scenes, a lot of music, and the students had their head shots taken for display opening night. All students have been asked to go online to fill out their "Bio-Form". Click the link to access the form. Please fill out one form per student. I have also included the link in the sidebar for easy reference. All bio forms are due by Tuesday May 17th.

There has been a small addition to our rehearsal schedule. Students are asked to attend a full cast rehearsal this Friday, May 13th, in the "fishbowl" at 7:30am.  This will be the first opportunity for students to work with our accompanist and it is important that as many students as possible attend.

Please continue to check the rehearsal schedule and website for updates daily. There will be lots of updates as we get closer to show day.

Thanks!
Ms. Moores

Costume notes now posted

Hi Parents,

             I am sure that you are all wondering what your child will be wearing for the 5th grade play. The biggest thing for me is that the kids should be comfortable on stage, both physically and self-confidence wise. I want this to be an enjoyable experience for all. I do not expect, or want, big elaborate costumes. The stage is very hot and performing in front of their peers can be nerve-wracking. I want them to wear a costume that they feel "good" in. You will find a list of characters and the suggested attire on the Costumes tab. Please note that no character should be wearing jeans and that I encourage all characters to wear shorts and T-shirts. Find your child's part and then the suggested attire. Please contact me if you have questions or need clarification.
