UPDATED APRIL 17^th @ noon

Thank you to all that have donated so much of your time. We really can’t do this without you! With that, we would like to remind all parents that all rehearsals are Closed Rehearsals. There are several reasons why we must adhere to this rule. Please, if you are not on the chaperone list or a photographer do not come to the rehearsal and sit in the gym during rehearsals. If you are early for pickup there are benches in the gym lobby for your convenience. We appreciate your understanding with this issue.

All cast and crew are called tomorrow from 1pm to 8:30pm. Every cast member must have a laundry basket labeled with their last name. All costumes should be laundered, pressed and hung on a hanger (labeled with name). All additional accessories, including shoes, should be in their basket.  All these items will be left at school in the dressing rooms for the duration of Tech Week and the performances.

Please keep in mind, all Tech rehearsals are mandatory for the entire time period.  This applies to all cast and crew.

Dinner (pizza) will be served.

Parent volunteers are still needed!  Please refer to the previous Volunteer Blog for details.  The success of our children's musical is dependent on your involvement.

Thank you to all who auditioned for glee club duets! You all did a very good job and it was a hard decision to make! I decided to create 2 trios and 1 duet in order to feature more of you and fulfill the sound of each section. If you were not chosen, don't be discouraged. There will be more opportunities next year! If you were chosen, please memorize your section and be ready to perform it on Tuesday with confidence.

Thank you to all who have volunteered! There are a few empty spots that need to be filled. If you have not volunteered or have a bit more time to spare please consider signing up for something today by contacting Doreen Rottman at Mrs.DRottman@gmail.com. St. Juliana Musicals would not be such a huge success without our volunteer parents! Thank you!

Updated Volunteer Schedule

We will be setting up the stage on Saturday, April 13th starting at 9:15 am.  For those who have already signed up to assist, thanks!  If you have not signed up for anything yet, help is always needed on set-up day.  Please meet in the gym at 9:15.

Thanks!

During Tech Week on Sunday, April 14th and Thursday, April 18th, the Fine Arts Association will be providing food for the cast and crew.  On Sunday, we will be serving pizza and on Thursday we will be serving Chik-fil-A sandwich boxes.  If your child has an allergy or dis-like of either of these offered meals, please send them with their own food.

Snacks and drinks can also be brought to eat through-out these long practices.  Note that there is no eating in the gym during practice and no eating while in costume during dress rehearsals.

thanks!

MANDATORY TECH WEEK REHEARSALS

These are the rehearsals when we add all the set, lights, sound, props, costumes, etc., as well as when we adjust things to keep everyone SAFE on stage.
