Friday 4/26 - ALL CAST and CREW (first OFFICIAL EXPECTED PRACTICE FOR CREW)
**ALL REHEARSALS are subject to run slightly late at this point.** We will try to hold them at most 10 - 15 minutes without your child's phone call or text.
Beginning Monday, 4/29, ALL CAST AND CREW are respectfully expected to attend every practice from start to finish. This may mean missing all or parts of games or meets through the weekend of production. This does not include folks who spoke to us in March when we began. We recognize those unavoidable conflicts. Missing for any reason (not excused already, either previously addressed or actual sickness) during those two weeks may mean having to forgo a scene because of adjustments we made while the person was out. Children should not excuse themselves because they aren't feeling well, to leave and be excused the nurse would need to evaluate and speak with parents. Too often we have students self-helping and going home without my or their guardians knowledge until afterward. In short, if your child is in school, they should plan to be at rehearsals.
May 3rd is the TECH rehearsal. This rehearsal will go from after school to 7:30. There will be a half-hour dinner break for the techies (please bring dinner for yourselves) from 5:00 to 5:30 PM. Pick-up will still be in front of the high school.
May 6th is the UNDERSTUDY production—FAMILY and FRIENDS of the Understudies are invited to join us. It is a fun way to celebrate the hard work of the Understudies and allow folks to cheer them on for a change. Everyone works so hard, and this way, families can watch their students in their more principal role.
If you still need to order shoes or undergarments for the production, please do so ASAP. Your child MUST have these things to be on stage. Waiting until days before the show can affect whether the order arrives on time, so plan ahead, please. Answers to questions about shoes, etc., can be found in the previous post, but if you still have questions, feel free to reach out to either Renchl@hartfordschools.net or me, chapmank@hartfordschools.net, and we will do our best to answer you quickly.
Friday's going forward are PYSCH days! Yellow shirt days, possible themes. Your child does not need to buy anything extra for a psych day. A MUNCHKIN FRIEND will be chosen randomly if your student wishes to be a part of it. There is a $15.00 limit on any psych buddy gifts they would get their Munchkin Friend the week of production. Please ask your child whether they want to participate in the psych week. It's no fun if they agree to participate, get physical gifts, and forget or leave someone else out. There is no shame if you and they choose not to be a part of this particular tradition.
Lastly, I cannot thank you enough for prioritizing this for the kids and you. There is only a musical with willing souls to put in the work and time. Thanks a million to those who have gone the extra mile, costuming with Leslie and Rose or building and painting sets with Brycen and me. Cora Winslow, you are an incredible young lady! Thank you for the time and dedication in your first solo venture as a choreographer! You ROCK!😉
Please look for a signup genius at the beginning of next week for our production week! We are getting so close! 2.5 weeks to matinee day is my Christmas 🎄 for anyone who has been a part of this before! The anticipation is so much of the fun! Hang on, it's about to get really crazy!
All the best, and (always) with a grateful heart, Kristen Chapman
