A few additional reminders for BOTH our veterans & newbies.
- PLEASE read ALL the important info by clicking red box above! :)
- Double check and recheck your calendars for dress rehearsals and performance call times by reading the notes/more info/details/">" IN the calendars.
- ALL rehearsals this week are MANDATORY
- Monday rehearsals are at the studio
- Wednesday & Thursday are at Wynona
-
If it's stated as a "Dress Rehearsal" in the calendar, all costuming is need including proper shoes, correct leotards, & tights. Not only does this help prepare your dancer for performance (knowing what they are to wear for what roles) but we also take professional pictures or have local papers there during rehearsals for future promotions and social media.
- The Dance Store is only open Monday & Tuesday next week from 3:45-5:15; please plan accordingly. If needing last minute items call/text Jen 307-250-5739 and she arrange for items and will charge to your account.
- During rehearsals at the auditorium parents/guardians are asked to help keep it a calm & quiet place to be respectful to all rehearsing. Dancers are to remain seated towards the front so everyone can hear & see what is going on.
- Any younger siblings present must also remain seated and quite. Our decorators will be working in the lobby Thursday night so we ask that there is no running or playing in the lobby either.
- Unfortunately food AND drink (yes even coffee) are not allowed in the auditorium; it's the auditorium rules not ours and they do have a serious ant problem.
- ALL dancers must LEAVE the auditorium during scheduled dinner breaks as this allows Miss Liz, our stage, sound, and lighting directors to regroup.
-
Parents may video and take pics during rehearsals. Video and photography is NOT allowed during the actual performances. DVD order forms are available online and are due Dec. 13.
- We will do our very best to keep rehearsals on schedule. It really helps if all dancers are on time and ready to go :).
- Angels, kiss corp, gingerbread, arabian corp, & flower petals are specifically listed when they need to be at rehearsals and when it is their dress rehearsal (costumes required). PLEASE read the notes/details in the calendars for this.
- Performers are allowed to leave after they have finished rehearsing ALL their roles scheduled for the night.
- SEE EMAIL FROM MISS LIZ SENT ON Nov 30 ABOUT SCHOOL PERFORMANCES ON FRIDAY!!!!
- ALL Tickets for performances are scanned at the door and were emailed to you in your confirmation email (click yellow box at the top of the email). Please have these eticket(s) accessible on your phone OR printed out.
- EVERYONE needs a ticket to attend performances.
- From the looks of it, we will be selling out so remind everyone to purchase their tickets sooner than later as we may not have any left at the door.
- We will be having our flowers & Nutcracker store again this year; but we have cut down on how many flowers we have for sale as at our spring performances we had a TON left over.
-
PARENTS OF YOUNGER PERFORMERS: we want your littles to have a great first performance experience, don't forget to plan accordingly as our night performances don't start till 7:00 which we realize may be your child's bedtime-- a relaxing day and naps maybe in order; and 2:00 performance may be during nap time so adjust as needed :). Also please know parents are NOT allowed to stay backstage unless signed up to volunteer.
-
FIRST TIME PERFORMERS: we have found that for most kids especially if they are really young, it is helpful to NOT talk about nerves or being anxious, scared, or butterflies. Some kids do not even know what nerves are unless someone says something or puts it in their heads. Performing is exciting! Be positive and encouraging but don't make it a big deal. You can simply tell them to have fun, smile, and don't forget to point your toes ;)
Thank you for taking the time to read all this important information above AND on the website. It will help make this week go smoothly for everyone.
"Merde"!!!!
