We are excited to begin a new semester at Masterworks and we know that there are great things getting ready to come out of the MTC this Spring!

Below is important information that you are going to need as we start the semester and continue through to the end of the semester. MUCH of the information you need this year will be found in the areas listed below. PLEASE make sure you check through the information and that your student and you know where to find materials all year. This just helps ensure that students are staying on top of the materials. If you have any questions after viewing this email, please don't hesitate to let us know! We will see you soon!
On our website, www.masterworksnc.com, there is a link on the main page with the button you see above for "Theater Company Corner." This section of our website lists SO MANY important things throughout the semester. A LOT of the calls/emails/text we receive can be answered by just checking here.

The Theater Corner will include:
*Direct access to the online Google Drive folder where all your documents, files, calendars, music and more are located.
*A copy of every email sent out for the semester
*Information how to join the texting and email service
*And more!

So make sure you know where this is located on the website for easy access to information. You can click the button above for access to the page now!
On the Theater Company Corner, the copy of the Parent Agreement is there for you to fill out. This is required before the end of Auditions in order for students to be cast in the shows. If you do not get a chance to do it before auditions, you can sign a copy at the beginning of auditions at drop off.
[BOOT CAMPS]

Masterworks Theater Company Bootcamps are a great way to get ready for the upcoming season of MTC and auditions!! There is one session per age level (Jr. or Sr.) where directors spend the time giving students the tips and instruction to students as to how to have a successful audition and semester of class. The class size is limited and spaces are first come first serve. Cost: $10/student

MTC JR CHOIRS: 1/4, 4:00-5:30pm
@ Masterworks Davidson

MTC SR CHOIRS: 1/4, 4:30-6:30pm @Masterworks Mooresville

[AUDITIONS]

Auditions are not REQUIRED for students to participate in the musicals, but they are HIGHLY recommended for students. The audition materials will be loaded into your Google Drive Folder in the coming days/week. You can log on and download materials directly to your device or play/open them right on your phone/device/computer. Directions for auditions will be posted in your folder.

~STAY CONNECTED & INFORMED~

Here are the ways you can make sure you have all the information that you need during the semester. Many times we don't get to see parents at the end of each practice so we rely HEAVILY on the different communication channels outside of class. PLEASE make sure you are getting the info throughout the semester!

~ EMAIL ~ You will receive emails like this on a regular basis throughout the semester. If you have un-scribed from our email service at ANYTIME (general Masterworks emails included) that may be why emails do not come through. Because of this, we cannot add you back in without your consent, so YOU need to click the links and add yourself (and anyone else who needs to be) into the email lists.

The Theater Corners also have your calendars for the year loaded on them. By the start of class you will have the full semester of times/dates.

~ GOOGLE DRIVE ~ In the coming weeks more and more information will be added to this online folder. By the time class starts students will have access to their audition materials (before auditions), music for shows, parent packets, the full schedule for week of show (will be available by September), required parent agreement, school excuse letters and more. So make sure you have access to this folder . It will also be linked in the Theater Company Corner on the website.
All student music will be available on the Google Drive throughout the semester. If you would like a hard copy burned onto CD for you, we can do that for you.

Please bring a blank CDR (NOT! DVR) with your student's name and MTC group listed ON the CD (i.e. "Susie Smith, Mooresville SR MTC") You can leave with the front desk and the staff will burn these for you and give to the directors to return to you. These can be dropped off at anytime.
