Costumes

If you have not been fitted you must do so now!
There will be a fitting on Thursday and you must sign a paper at rehearsal this week to let us know who is to be released early from rehearsal in order to get a costume!

Following the fittings on Thursday will be the Costume Parade on Friday. This will be added on to the already scheduled rehearsal so expect practice to get out around 7 or later. Thanks!

The Show Must Go On!

Hey everyone!

Remember:
If you have been unable to attend a rehearsal, you must get a friend to catch you up ASAP.
Learn your lines, learn your lyrics, learn your music, and learn your dances.
No excuses anymore.
After February break, every single rehearsal is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY.
NO leaving early, and NO arriving late.
Arrange rides ahead of time, and try to reschedule any conflicts you may have. If you do not attend a rehearsal, rehearsal will not stop for you. We will not "hold your place" and we may need to rearrange who performs in which numbers if you are not present. Don't give us that chance.

That being said, please show up to rehearsals on time, full of energy, well-fed, and with proper footwear. Keep up the positive energy, everyone! We will make this a fabulous show.

If there is some reason why you can't make it today, please let someone else who will be there know, that so we can be sure all are accounted for.
