so we have been unable to finalize a cast party. We are tentatively planning something for the week after spring break.
We have about a dozen shirts left, some are labeled some not. Please check what shirt you took, many labeled shirts have ended up missing. Which means you might have grabbed someone else's and left yours.
Thank you once again for a great show!

School Performance
So they office has an excuse list and I will be double checking with them in the morning.
All kids with mics will be excused at 11, there will be 2 moms out front to pick you up and take you to the High School. Bring a lunch from home because you will be excused before first lunch.
Everyone else will go to first lunch. When everyone is ready we will leave. So the quicker everyone eats the sooner we get to the HS.
If at all possible come with your hair and make up done. We will have a little time at the HS but not a whole lot.
Once the show is done we will quickly get out of costume and wait for everyone to be ready and we will head back to the school. We will come back during 6th hour.
We will then follow the normal check in time as we did Friday night.

Last rehearsal
The kids are awesome! After talking with the tech crew and staff, we need to stay later than planned. Here is how tomorrow is going to work:
Kids show up and get straight into costume and speaking roles get mics.
We start a run at 3:30(no hair and make-up)
We will finish the first run through around 4:45
As the show is going Jungle Animals and Who's can get their hair and make up done as we go.
We take a short break for the leads to get their hair and make up done.
During that break Mrs. Griesbach takes pictures of each group as they are done with hair and make up.
We do a second run of the show starting at 5:20.
That means after notes it will be 6:45 when we finish.
If your kids could bring snacks or sandwiches that would help keep the energy up.
The first run through is mostly to work on tech issues and the second is to solidify the show.
I hope that this doesn't rain on anybody's parade but this show will be fantastic, we just need to work on a few tech issues.
Also check out the newspaper we have cool article and picture with Bye Bye Birdie.

Preparation for the last week
The week has come at last, we open Friday. There is still work to be done. The posters came on Saturday so if you were contacted by Mrs. Erickson you can pick them up tomorrow.
On Monday's rehearsal we will not be doing hair and make-up. We have things we need to do, so kids please get here as fast as you can. We will be doing full costumes, just not hair and make up. Jungle Animals, some of your pants are ready so you will trying them on tomorrow and hopefully the rest Tuesday.
For tomorrow's rehearsal we will be adding tech to the scenes we didn't get to, so we need everyone to come ready to work. Please be like the kids who stayed on Saturday. When we stop the music you sit down quietly until we adjust the lights.
We are using the curtains a lot in the show, along with the moving platforms, silks and with 91 of you there is not a whole of room backstage. Starting Tuesday no one will be in the auditorium and we have rooms where you will stay and wait until your scene.
We will be sending home notes and putting on the blog when certain people will have to come for hair and make up on performance days.
Thank you to Maren Powell, the parents who were in charge do the food on Saturday said she was super helpful with cleaning the tables.
Please come ready to work. We need everyone to get here as fast as they can. So please this week don't linger after school and get to the high school as fast as you can.

So Good
One mom told me she thinks we have a hit on our hands. I am inclined to agree.
Just a couple things about tomorrow.
If everyone can come tomorrow from 9-10 and then those called to stay will stay until 2. We know that it's last minute and that many of you are unable to attend and that's okay. It is your responsibility if you are unable to attend to find a friend who came and get caught up from them. Please if you could come for just that hour we promise to let you leave at or before 10.
Those of you who are staying until 2 we still need to have you email Emily Hartman at emmyanne00@yahoo.com for a food assignment. We will plan on breaking for lunch around 11:30- noonish.
The cast shirts are done and the jungle fabric is in so we will get those to you as soon as possible.
Many of you have asked about videotaping and pictures. I will need to check out the contract to see if we can film. As far as pictures, we have Dani Griesbach who is a professional photographer and did our Aladdin pictures last year. She will be coming next week and get some good pictures.
We will be having a press release and picture in the Box Elder News Journal in next Wednesday's paper. So be on the look out for that.

Prep for friday
So today's rehearsal was so efficient and good. The kids are amazing!
If students want to bring a laundry basket with their name on it that would be helpful to keep the clothes they change out of and store all their other things during the performance and it would also store their costume during non rehearsal time. ( Bird girls, stars and brigade pay no heed to this.)
Bring what you need to bring, if we are providing something we should have it there. So if we asked you to bring a shirt, bring it, if you are a who and bringing something from home bring it. Tomorrow is to see what we are missing and to figure it out.
I hope the kids came home feeling like the show is going to be soooooooo cool. But safety is a big concern of ours with the silks, moving platforms and tumblers. If you are not a silk specialist, you are allowed to even touch the silks. If you get run over by the platforms, it's your fault. Stay out of their way. They will do what they need to do and you need to get out of their way. Tumblers and Leia need space, give it to them.
I want to spotlight some kids who are always performing to the max, at least when I am watching: Sam Loosli, Kaylee Whipple and Taya Watson. I can't remember a day at rehearsals when those three are smiling, singing and dancing. If everyone would stand near them as to absorb their energy this show will quite literally blow the roof off of the auditorium.
So many kids care a lot about the success of the show. I want to spotlight Alie Reeder for helping Daiyan, who broke her toe, learn the choreography she missed. Everyone needs to be helpful like Alie, if someone has a question, help them. We want everyone to be great. If 90 of you go full out and 1 of you has no energy, guess what? We watch the one because they are different. Please don't stand out that way. Alie was helpful so that Daiyan wouldn't stand out because she was doing it wrong. (And I was watching Daiyan during Here on Who and she did it right, good job Alie!)
If you got a note for Saturday's lunch please email Emily ASAP!
Remember we start teaching make up at 9 so come a little early.

Recap
So we had a smooth ticket sale today. It was a lot better than last year. Tickets go on sale 30 minutes prior to the end of rehearsal.
The posters will be done tomorrow, long story but I promise we will have some.
We will post all the costume items tomorrow in preparation for Friday's rehearsal
Kids, we keep throwing new stuff at you. We believe in you.
Spread information about this who by word of mouth. I created a Facebook event that allows you to share this easily with your friends.
I know there is something important I am forgetting but I will post again tomorrow.

Heads up
So I asked the kids to make sure they check the blog each day.
Reminder that rehearsal Tuesday only goes until 4:30.
Tickets go on sale Wednesday at 5. We can only take cash or checks, no cards. They are $4 a ticket. There is no age limit. If your 6 month old or 2 year old will be sitting on your lap you only need to pay for one seat.
The kids who needed to be recorded we will be doing that after rehearsal Friday.
We are looking for a beach lounge chair. We have looked everywhere for one. If anyone has one that we use for show that would be great.
We had such a productive rehearsal today. We need the kids to be as focused and hardworking as they were today. We got so much done.

March 2-7
So we are here at the last two weeks. Here is the next two weeks schedule:
Monday- full cast 3:20-5:30
Tuesday- full cast 3:20-4:30 ( there is the Chinese New Years celebration from the district, so we have to be out of the auditorium by 4:30, we were informed of this last Tuesday.)
Wednesday- full cast 3:20-5:30 ( tickets go on sale today rather than Tuesday due to the Chinese New Years celebration, the tickets go on sale at 5 and are $4 each.)
Thursday -full cast 3:20-5:30
Friday- full cast 9:00-12:00 (there is no school this day so we will be having a dress rehearsal)
Saturday- 9:00-2:00 (Speaking Roles, Core, Jungle Brigade & Hunters) there will be a lunch that day and notes will be passed out to the kids who are called to rehearsal for a lunch assignment. We will be doing a potluck of sorts.
Some of the rehearsals will be slow and some kids won't be on stage for a long time. So please bring some quiet activities such as homework, books, silent video games, etc. also a water bottle and treats would help keep the energy up.
We've tried to not waste people's time and they were generally working at rehearsal, we are at a point where some students will be on stage for 20 minutes then sit for an hour before their next scene. If every student could remember to bring their yellow cue paper that will help them know what their next scene is as to plan ahead and keep the rehearsals moving and stay productive.
Monday- full cast 3:20-5:30
Tuesday- full cast 3:20-4:30 ( there is the Chinese New Years celebration from the district, so we have to be out of the auditorium by 4:30, we were informed of this last Tuesday.)
