Our Saturday rehearsal was very productive.  The students were reminded as spring activities are starting up that their attendance at play practice is expected to take priority over a new sport or activity that they are starting.  We will have only 2 full weeks of rehearsal when we return from Spring Break on April 9th.  Our show needs to be full rehearsed by April 23rd and ready for costume and technical elements to be added.  Every hour of rehearsal time is precious.  Thank you so much for understanding and honoring your committment to the drama program as outlined in your contract.  As the show draws nearer the rehearsals need to be longer in order to try to run the entire show in sequence.  Students may want to consider bringing a book to read or homework to do quietly when they are not required to be on stage.

VERY IMPORTANT:  The next Saturday rehearsal is April 14th.  There will one last Saturday rehearsal on April 21st.  All Saturday rehearsals and rehearsals the week of the show (4/23 thru 4/28 are mandatory.  Failure to report to mandatory rehearsals will result in forfeiture of your role in the show).

Also, students should eat breakfast before they arrive and bring a snack and drink to have during break at 11:15.  We have several students with food allergies so outside food is not permitted in the auditorium.  ONLY CLEAR BEVERAGES WILL BE PERMITTED IN THE AUDITORIUM during rehearsals and must have a tight lid or cap to prevent spills.  All food must be eaten in the cafeteria (where we will eat our snack) so they will not be able to eat any breakfast food they bring with them until 11:15.  Thank you for understanding and making sure they have breakfast before they arrive.  Also, students will be dismissed at 1pm in plenty of time for lunch so there is no need to send them with a huge meal to eat at snacktime. 

Thank you to the parents who have offered to help with elements of the show.  There are still many volunteer opportunites available. (See last week's post.)

T-Shirt orders are due by the end of this week.

Ads are due by Friday April 13th.
