'Where Tradition and Excellence Meets Innovation and Opportunity'
Midweek Update - January 20, 2021
Thought of the Week:

Nothing makes a player more productive
than the last minute.
‌
Greetings!

Happy First Look Week! It's a busy week around here as the choir department prepares for it's first public performances of the school year. Thank you to everyone who has been working hard to make so many wonderful things happen behind the scenes for our kids. It truly should be a special week. Our concert choirs are preparing for the arrival of Dr. Jacob Narverud who will be conducting the students at their late February concert. In addition, he has written a piece specifically for Fairfield for the choirs to sing. Crystal Classic has gotten the official green light and competitions will begin soon. It's truly a wonderful time with things beginning to look up.

Please take note of the following procedures and policies for First Look:

  • All guests will need to remain in their cars until 30 minutes prior to your performance time. Everyone should enter through the main lobby doors (front of school). The main lobby WILL NOT be open until 30 minutes before the performance begins due to social distancing best practices that are being implemented. At no time should anyone be congregating in the lobby. Once you do enter, you will be required to wear a mask unless you have a medical condition that keeps you from doing so safely. 
  • There will be a table in the main lobby that will be designated for you to pick up your concessions box if you ordered one. You will just need to say the last name on the order and they will be happy to give you the box(es) that you ordered. A ticket receipt is not needed for this.
  • We ask that everyone uses our hand sanitizing stations that will be clearly marked before entering the theater each time. When you are entering the theater, please have your ticket either printed out or on your electronic device so that it can be scanned. While waiting to get in, please observe the social distancing markings on the ground to allow for space between patrons. Event programs will be electronic and can be scanned as you enter the theater.
  • No tickets are available for purchase at this point - we are sold out and at capacity per mandated guidelines from the CDC and local health departments.
  • Upon entering the theater, all rows not in use will be marked clearly with red tape. Please do not use these seats without direct permission from staff. Patrons must be seated in the row and chair that they are assigned.
  • There will be brief pauses between groups. You can utilize this time to stand and stretch, but please do not move about the theater. If you need to use the restroom, we ask that you do so without congregating in the lobby. If there is a line for the restroom, please remember to social distance between you and other guests.
  • At the conclusion of the performance, we ask that you leave the theater in a timely fashion to allow for cleaning. In addition, performers will not be permitted to come up and greet their guests like normal. You will need to wait until you and the performer have left the building to meet. Thank you in advance for understanding.
  • Thank you for your diligence in observing the above guidlines. We are happy to welcome you back to the Fairfield High School Performing Arts Center and hope you enjoy this weekend's performances.


Have a great week, everyone!

Mr. Mercer
