Dress rehearsals will be held on Monday May 2 and Tuesday May 3 at the West Islip High School.

This is a FULL Dress Rehearsal, group photos will be taken.  Please arrive in costume and be ready with shoes, makeup, and accessories at your scheduled time.  We cannot hold up groups waiting for late arrivals, as it will throw off the entire night.  We will do everything we can to get you in and out as quickly as possible, but please plan to be there for at least 45 minutes to an hour for each group.

PARK IN MARKED STALLS ONLY.  

All parents and students please report to CAFETERIA A/B at your scheduled time.  Class parents and student teachers will line up each group and escort STUDENTS ONLY to their group photo.   Students will then proceed to the auditorium for their dress rehearsal with their instructor.   We will run through each number several times.  Preparations will be made for proper lighting, backgrounds, sets and props.   (in an effort to keep things as quick as possible this is a CLOSED rehearsal - this means all parents will wait in the cafeteria.)

Students will then be escorted back to the Cafeteria to rejoin their parents, where optional individual photos can be taken.  Saberin Photography will be on site.  Parents can obtain and complete order forms for individual photos while students are on stage.
