Lots of Info

So I forgot to mention a few things and will also reiterate a few important key notes from the meeting.

New notes:

• All Cast members are not allowed to cut their hair without approval from Mr. Erwin. Lacy Cunningham who has been the hair and make-up designer for all the shows at the High School stage the past 3 years asked if she could bring her girls from Bridgerland to do all the hair and make-up. The cosmetology  students have to do a lot of hours to do their licensing and they have asked to include this in their hair portfolio. They will bring their own supplies and all your student has to do is bring a head of hair.
• There is a mistake on the calendar on Tuesday January 20th the Jungle Brigade does not have rehearsal, it should have said Stars. (Below I will attach who the Star, Jungle Brigade and Aerial Silk Specialist are)
• BAM schedule will be posted on Sunday.
• Who's Costume sheets save it for next Friday.  We will get more things figured out then.

Important notes from the meeting:

• Being in this show is a privilege not a right. Students are to be on their best behavior at rehearsal and do what is asked from the directorial staff. If a student is being disruptive or not participating they will asked to leave rehearsal.
• All students should check with one of the cast captains before you leave for rehearsal. They will be at the commons and check in with them before you head over to the High School.
• When you have a question one should check the parent information form (I will attach it)
• If your question is still let unanswered then you may email me at milton.erwin@gmail.com
• Or you may come into the school and ask me as rehearsal gets out.
• There are several students who have already made arrangements to be at rehearsal when needed. If you could reschedule piano or voice lessons to after 4:30 that would be fabulous.
• Please don't send me emails unrelated to show, don't share my phone number if I call you, don't friend me on facebook, follow me on instagram, if we don't know each other outside of this context. Not that I don't like you, but I like to have a private life.
• Please come talk to me if you have any concerns please come talk to me. 
• The cast fee is $20 it is due on Friday and to be paid by check.
• If you would like a shirt as a parent or for your siblings it will be $5 per additional shirt.

BLOG WITH INFORMATION

The weekly schedule will be posted each Sunday on the blog along with pictures and any other important information. The blog is titled acyimusicals.blogspot.com.

ELIGIBILITY

All students who audition will be checked for citizenship and academics. Any student with a U in citizenship will not be cast in the show. Rehearsals should be treated like a 7^th period. There will be homework and participation is absolutely required.

BAM TIME

Seeing as this show is a huge show, we will be having small group rehearsals during BAM time. A weekly calendar will be posted on the blog and in the office each week. If you have an intervention, that will take priority over rehearsal during BAM time.

EXPECTATIONS FOR REHEARSALS

TIMES:        January 5^th –March 6th from 3:20-4:30

                    March 9-12 from 3:15-5:15

                    Saturdays from 9-12 (These will be announced at the cast meeting)

LOCATION: Unless specified, all rehearsals will be held at BEHS.

Cast members are expected to walk as a group to the High School after school. It is preferred that they walk down 7^th West (less traffic) in groups no smaller than 5 cast members.

PICK UP:     Parents are expected to pick up their students no later than 10 minutes after the end of rehearsal.  If a student is consistently picked up late, the parents will be contacted.

BEHAVIOR:Students are expected to be on their best behavior at all times and will be removed from the cast if poor behavior interferes with rehearsals.

HAVE FUN: Students are expected to enjoy themselves. This is a fun show and we want everyone to have a memorable experience. We expect everyone to work hard and be happy.

ATTENDANCE: Ensemble members should expect to be able to commit to at least to 2 rehearsals each week. Speaking roles should expect more rehearsals a week, varying from 3-5. All rehearsals will be held at Box Elder High School. Attendance at rehearsals is very important, if a student is unexcused for more than 3 rehearsals, they will be dropped from the show. Unexcused is defined as the directorial staff was uninformed of a students’ absence. Exceptions will be made for family matters, illness and other needs at the discretion of the director.  If you know you will miss for vacation or something similar, fill it out on this form.

The last several rehearsals (March 2-12) are MANDATORY for every cast member. If you are unable to attend any of these days, please put it on the audition form before auditions. These are the days where we will be putting the whole show together, costumes, tech, microphones, etc. Students may be dropped from certain numbers or even the show if they have any unexcused absences on these days.

*Please note that just because you put certain dates and times as unavailable does not mean that they will automatically be excused. Being a part of a show is a huge commitment, be prepared to make arrangements to be at all rehearsals.

PARTICIPATION FEE:

There will be a cast fee of $20, which will cover the cost of the show and give each student a cast T-shirt. The $20 needs to be paid to BEHS Theatre by January 12th. The $20 needs to be paid by check. (If you are dropped or drop out of the play, your money will be refunded until January 16th) If you cannot pay the fee, note it on your form and we will find a sponsor. Don't let the cost of the show keep anyone from auditioning.

COSTUMES:

The costumes for this show are fun! They are bright and colorful. We need every parent, grandparent or neighbor to help in the making of these costumes. I have community members who are willing to help. We also may have you bring things from home (such as shoes, belts, etc.) before you go out and buy anything check your closets.

If you are willing to sew, we will provide the fabric and the pattern and you are just needed to sew. If for any reason you buy something for the show first clear it with the Costume coordinator and then save the receipt and give it to her.

PARENT HELP:

A theatre production is a huge endeavor.   We need help with supervising, advertising, ticket sales, and costumes.  Please sign up for what area you can help us with.
