Monday School show

 We had a good show! We did it! It came together and will only get better as we go along.

Just a few notes for Monday:

All Aladdin cast member will be wearing their Aladdin t-shirt on Monday

7th Grade students in the Aladdin cast will go to lunch at 10:29 a.m. as the rest of the 7th grade students.

6th Grade students in the Aladdin cast will go to lunch at 11:00 a.m. this should only be around 40 students. This is earlier than the schedule states for 6th grade. Please excuse them at that time.

ALL Aladdin cast members will be excused to leave their classrooms at 11:25 a.m. to come to the commons area where they will gather and walk to the high school supervised by Ryan 7th grade students will be in class. 6th grade students will still be at lunch.

 Meet in the commons with everything you need for the show. You can leave your backpacks in your lockers.

Mrs. Housley has a list of all the cast members and will enter the school excused absence in the computer.

All students will be back before the end of school. There will be no rehearsal Monday after school.

See you then!

YAY!!!

The show is good and only going to get better with an audience. Thank you parents for being understanding and letting your kids stay later then planned. But they needed that extra time to get better. The show came together this week and it truly was a miracle.

Remember that the kids need to show up tomorrow at 12:30, 12:45 at the latest. We will touch-up some things. The doors will open at 1:30 with the show starting at 2. The last a little bit over an hour.

Once again thank you so much for letting your kids have this experience. I hope you enjoy the show.

Final Dress Rehearsal Friday

The show has been coming together, slowly and steadily. It will be great but we need to adjust tomorrow's plan. Students will come to the High School and get straight into costume. We will start at 3:20. We will start at where we left off, end of a Whole New World, and finish the tech until the end. We will then run each musical number and have a break, around 5 for pizza. We will then have a run through starting at 5:45. We will be done around 7 rather than 5:45. There is no other way to get this show done then to stay longer.

We will also be asking that all students show up on Saturday by 12:45, the doors will be unlocked at 12:30 if you want to come early. We will then have the students ready to go by 1 and we will warm-up on the stage. The auditorium doors will open at 1:30 to the public, with the show starting at 2. Please come early and find a parking spot and your seat. Thank you for all that you are willing to do for your kids to have this experience.

Ticket Sales & more!

We have 6 rehearsals left! So it's crunch time! Just a reminder that all Speaking Roles, Storytellers, Dancers, Tumblers, Guards & Princes have rehearsal tomorrow. Everyone else has off. Then for the rest of the week there is no rehearsal due to Spring Break. Please, please, please be safe. Also please don't be sick next week, if you are thinking about getting sick, get sick this week so you don't miss any rehearsals next week, or you could just wait until the show gets over.

During the last full week of rehearsals the tickets will be sold. They will go on sale about 20 minutes prior to the end of rehearsal, so about 4:45ish. Tickets for each day will be sold. Tickets will be $4 each and will be sold by seat, and it is reserved seating. If your 3 year old wants to sit on your lap, that is totally cool with me. We will have you pay by seat not by person. Just a heads up the show last about an hour.

As a totally personal request from the director, when you buy tickets don't buy the best seats in the house twice, if you choose to come both nights. Sit in a different seat and let some one else sit there. I won't come down and be mad at you, just a personal request.

The best seats will go fast there is over 120 kids and so that means a lot of parents and grandparents coming.

The last week (April 7-11) also known as Miracle Week, is a very important week. Just to remind all the kids again here is a more up to date schedule.

Monday 7- Run Through 3:15-5:00

Come to the Drama room and get some snacks, warm-up and talk.
We will start the run through at 3:30, all students will be in the auditorium. There will be no talking.
We will run through the show from beginning to end, stopping to fix things as needed. As explained to the students at the last rehearsal, if they are talking during rehearsal they will be removed from the number. When the students are not on stage they may go out to the foyer or the drama room to practice, do homework or talk. We encourage all students to stay in the auditorium because this is one of the only days you get to see the parts of the show you are not in.

Tuesday 8- Dress Rehearsal 3:15-5:00

We will be doing the same thing as Monday except we will be starting at 3:45, because after the Snack attack all students will need to get in their costumes. Reminder all townspeople need sandals. All girls in group 2 need to also bring a white shirt and black pants and black shoes. This also is the day that those girls in group 2 ,who offered, to bring their stuffed animal. All boys townspeople need to bring a plain white T-shirt. All guards need to bring a plain red T-shirt. Other then those things we think we have all of you costumed.

Wednesday 9- Tech Rehearsal 3:15-5:00

Follow the same routine as the other two days and get ready for rehearsal. This time however all students when not on stage will be in their holding rooms. Which we will explain on Tuesday. This rehearsal and Thursday's rehearsal will be boring. There will be lots of standing around. We need to move lights so we can see all of you and moving the curtain and microphones so we can hear all you. We hopefully will get through the first half of the show, between Friend Like Me and Prince Ali. We are asking that all students stay the entire time because we don't know where we will end up.

Thursday 10- Tech Rehearsal 3:15-5:00

The same thing as Wednesday except for we will start where we ended at on Wednesday and go through the end.

Friday 11- Final Dress/Tech 3:15-5:45

We will start the show at 3:30, all students must be in costume warmed up by 3:30. There will be no snack attack this day because after we finish the run through we will be having a pizza party. After a 20 minute break we will run the show one more time. We will end around 5:45, but by the time everyone gets out of costume and cleaned up it will be closer to 6, but some will be ready to be picked up by 5:45.

Saturday 12- Opening 'Afternoon' call time 1:00, Show time 2:00

Students will show up and get ready and we will warm up and run a few numbers to get ready. Doors will open for seating at 1:30

Monday 14-School Show at 1-ish, released time from school around 11:45ish

We have not yet finalized the bell schedule, thus the reason for the ish. We will have all of ACYI come over to see their peers perform. We will fill the seats all the way to the back. It's the best show to perform for, coming from a former student at ACYI.

Tuesday 15- Closing Night Call time 6:00, Show time 7:00

Just like the other performance we will come early to warm up and have a great show. Doors will open at 6:30.

Wow, I didn't plan on this being a novel but there is a lot of information that I want everyone to get. If you have any questions let me know.
