To clear up somethings

I know there some confusion going on, for many of you this is your first show, for me it's my biggest show yet, 129 kids. So there have been many mistakes and bound to be many more mistakes.

Due to the size of the cast we selected cast captains, they are responsible to gather the students and get them to rehearsals and be the examples to others. We selected 4 students who demonstrated leadership and hard-work in last year's show, Schoolhouse Rock!.

The 4 cast captains are Morgan Christensen, Zach Hansen, Madison Merrill & Alisa Smith.

Look for these 4 afterschool in the commons and they will lead you over.

I will post the list of the kids in each group and what songs they are in. For example this next week group 1 has rehearsal on Monday, because they are all in One Jump Ahead.

Cast Meeting

We had a lot of people come to the meeting and I will post all the important things, but I did fail to mention that all checks are to be made to BEHS, not ACYI. (Those of you who have already turned checks into me are okay). Since we will be doing all our rehearsals and shows through the High School all our finances are also going through the High School.

Some key notes from today's meeting
  • Citizenship, all students must have an H or S in every class. If a student has an N or U they will be dropped from the show. We will be doing a citizenship check at the end of the tri. We will follow through with this, no matter what your role is!
  • Rehearsals will be at the High School. All the students will meet at the commons steps and walk over as a group. The bathrooms at the High School will be cleaned during rehearsal so you have to go at ACYI before heading over. All of you will walk over as a group on 7th West. Morgan Christensen will be in charge this week of getting everyone gathered up and on over the High School each day this week.
  • We need to be on our best behavior while at the High School, if there is one complaint from the Janitors, administration or teachers about the Aladdin kids the show is over. No exaggeration. We are guests at their school and we need to behave. There is a no cell phone policy while at rehearsal. We, the directorial staff, discussed not casting any kids who pulled out their phone at auditions. When we are at rehearsals, we are at rehearsals. Reminder, all students need to be picked up within 10 minutes of the end of rehearsal. We will always let your kid out at 4:15. You need to always pick them up. Another reminder to inform of us if your child is sick or has a family emergency. As long as we know before rehearsals you should be okay.
  • In each of the envelops there was a list of songs that each student is in. If the song is listed then they are to be at rehearsal that day. This Friday we will be working on Friend Like Me those who are in that will have rehearsal that day, those who have One Jump Ahead will be on Monday.
  • The check mentioned earlier needs to be returned in the envelope with the information on the front. Please check the information, and correct it if there are any mistakes.
  • Parents may also order a cast shirt if they pay an additional $5 to cover the cost of the shirt.
Those seem to be the biggest things from the meeting. For the Story tellers you are also considered Speaking Cast so you need to be at rehearsal tomorrow. If anyone who was not at the meeting needs their envelope they will be in the main office beginning Thursday.
