Calendar for April 1-5

Monday 1- Do the Circulation 3:15-3:50
                  Conjunction Junction 3:55-4:30

Tuesday 2- Friday 5 NO REHEARSAL Spring Break

The Circulation looks awesome. We will be finishing it up and learning Conjuction Junction.
Now since we only have rehearsal on Monday we are asking that the students stay until 4:30 to finish these two songs.
We hope that everyone has a great spring break but please don't forget to review your songs and dancing. When we come back from the break we have only 13 school days until we perform. We need everyone to be on task everyday. Everyone is going to be coming on Monday and I will give more information there regarding what happens after Spring Break. Go and have fun, but BE SAFE.

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.

You Guys are amazing!

Wow! That is all Ms. Braquel and I can say about today's rehearsal. June, Janet and the Dancers learned an entire song and did it well. We can't wait to see it on stage. We have been learning music really fast, and we have been singing very well. It has been informed to me that apparently GrooveShark.com has not been working on some computers and messing up people's computers. If it is grooveshark's fault I apologize but we use it on the school computer and many kids have said it works fine on theirs. If you would rather listen on YouTube that also works. Make sure that if you have not paid your cast fee to do so this week so we can order the shirts and start getting things for the show. See you guys tomorrow!

Some help for music

We have a lot of music to learn for the show and we are learning it fast but we don't have much time to review. So there is a website called grooveshark.com and when you get there you should type in "Schoolhouse Rock Live Jr." and it will come up with all the songs in the show. The kids can listen and practice their music. This will help all of the kids to learn the music faster and better so that we can start putting it up onstage. Sorry once again for posting it so late last night. The kids are sounding really good, I can't wait until we can put it on stage, it is going to be fabulous! To all the parents, thanks for all you do to support you child, parent support makes all the difference in these shows. Remember June, Janet and the Dancers; tomorrow your practice is at ACYI. It will go until 4:15.

Reminder

Just a reminder to check with your little strip of paper to see if you are involved in the rehearsal. This Friday everyone has rehearsal until 3:50. And some will stay until 4:20.Also you all need to get to the High School as fast as possible. We need to get working right away. We need to be more quiet. Today we were pretty loud and didn't get much accomplished then all of sudden we all got quiet and we were able to get through all of the song. You sound AMAZING! Overall we had a really good rehearsal and we are really excited. But to let you know we are not allowed to wander in the High School we are to head straight to the Drama Room. Today we had  a few girls who came before we warmed up and left and came in after 10 minutes. We can't have that. Also during rehearsal, NO CELL PHONES. There were several girls who were texting or taking pictures. That is unacceptable. We are to be working. Now if your mother calls you answer it outside the room but please NO TEXTING, especially other kids at rehearsal. It is a distraction. Also your parents need to pick you up by 4:30. Now with all that said you guys are great. You don't sound like typical 12 year olds. Remember to pay you $15 cast fee to the office during school. If for any reason you cannot afford it email me and we can find a sponsor so that you can participate in this. Remember to check and see if you have rehearsal tomorrow.
