Reminder

A reminder for those of you who have yet to pay your $15 cast fee to the office. It was due last Tuesday the 19th. Tomorrow will be the last day that the office will accept money. We have to set this deadline so that we can order the shirts and start buying items for the show. Also a reminder to all parents to check with their children to see when they have rehearsal. You agreed to pick up your children no later than 4:30. Every group rehearsal there have several students who are waiting until as late as 5. We understand that you are busy and have other children and responsibilities to do, but so do those who are volunteering for the show. Mr. Erwin & Ms. Braquel are full time college students who work part time. Mrs. Crane, Williams and Smith are all mothers who teach piano and music classes. Its not fair to them to keep them waiting for your children. Do not expect your children to call you to tell you rehearsal is over. We end at 4:20 everyday. Just know that if your child has rehearsal that it will go until 4:20. Also this past week we had several students drop out due to conflicts with the performance schedule, which was on the parent permission slip you all signed previous to auditioning. Please don't wait until the week before to inform us that there is a soccer tournament. It's not fair to everyone involved, especially those who have to pick up the slack left behind. Also there has been many students who just don't come every time they have rehearsal. We do take roll, if they have missed more than 3 times they will be warned and after the 4th unexcused absence they will be dropped from the show. Starting last week we have be learning the dances for the songs. If someone is missing that day, they will not be participating in that number. We just don't have the time to reteach each dance everyday. We will make exceptions to those who email Mr. Erwin at milton.erwin@gmail.com BEFOREHAND. Also a heads up, April 15, 17, 22, 23, 24 & 25 those are mandatory dates. If there are any complications email Mr. Erwin this week. Especially if you are one of the Homeroom Kids. Rehearsal on the 15 and the 17 will run until 4:30 and 22-25 will go until 5:15. This is when we are putting everything together, costumes, props, scenery, singing, dancing, dialogue, microphones, sound; literally everything. So we need everyone everyday.
With all this said it is so much fun to work with these kids they are so talented and excited. Can't wait to see you all Monday.
