Keeping you in-the-know
January 5, 2017
  Greetings!

Happy New Year! There's no time to waste, our big show is just one month away! This e-mail is chalk full of information about our upcoming show including the schedules for our mandatory rehearsals, so please make sure you read it thoroughly. We don't want anyone to miss pertinent information or deadlines. 

Karen and Karstin Lake

P.S. There are also notes on when class times might be changed, so if you are in a choir you will want to check that out. 
Glee Show Venue
Friends' Church
Our show this February will be at Friends Church in Yorba Linda. The facility is beautiful and BIG! It seats about 1000 people and is equipped with a full sound and light board, plus 2 jumbo screens. For those of you who may still be on the fence about participating, we encourage you to join us. This is an incredible performance opportunity you won't want to miss!
Program Spotlights
Program Spotlights are personalized messages printed in our programs for the show. You have the option of just printing a message, or adding a picture to your message. 

Spotlight Prices
Feb. Show: $15
Feb. & June Show: $25 

If you order by Jan 12th
Audition for a Solo Today!
We extended the deadline - TOMORROW (Friday) is the last day we are accepting audition videos for solos! If you would still like to audition, you can easily make and submit a video before the deadline. For all the information on how to audition, please follow the link below. 
Today is the Day
to  Order Your Costume
If you have not ordered or purchased your costume for the big show, this is your last week to do so. Each one of our pink Glee dresses is custom made to fit your student. We need to give our wonderful dress makers enough time to make these fabulous dresses! Please follow this link to see information on how and what to order for the big show. Our boy's ties, vests and cumberbuns are sent in the mail. 

We cannot guarantee that any orders placed after this week will be ready by February 3rd.
What if I can't get my 
Student to Yorba Linda?
Take the bus! We will have one bus available to transport students to and from our show venue on the day of dress rehearsal (Feb. 2). Space is limited, so if you would like to purchase a bus ticket for your student, please do it now (see link below).  We have only 45 seats available. 

Parents, we are looking for two Pre-Glee and two Glee Club/GTT moms or dads to chaperone on the bus. If you are wanting to chaperone, please let us know ASAP. Chaperone tickets are free with the purchase of your student's bus ticket. ($12 rather than $18 so you save $6 if you come on the bus with us)
Ticket Sales
Tickets for the show will go on sale this weekend or Monday. The venue is reserved seating.   Stay tuned for more information.
