Thanks everyone.

A few reminders. . . . .

Hello All,

Last night was fantastic.  Very professional...not over the top.  Thank you to those who stayed for clean-up duty.

Tonight is a bit different.  All personal items must be removed from school-or out they go.

When you are done using your black capes and lab coats-put them away to take home.

ALL costumes must be covered with a bag that you will receive this evening-ALL costumes must be checked by Miss Ann, Mrs. McGeehan or myself.

ALL prop items must be organized and stored in the choral room.

NO ONE can leave until all is put away........halls are cleaned, as well as the back stage area and the choral and art room.

One more note:

Mr. Roller is coming this evening.  You all must remain as professional as possible.   DO NOT add anything.......the innuendo must remain innuendo.

Respect his wishes and requests.

Cool?

Cool!

Enjoy the day.

You guys have made me very proud.

Thank you!!!!!!!

Notes

Friends,

Last night was a great show. Wonderful energy and singing.

Not to mention dancing.

 

That being said...many of you left school with your costumes on the floor, make-up left in the art room and brushes everywhere.

We are not here to clean up after you. Evan, Kiara and Sophie and a few other folks stayed last night to clean.

There will now be a "clean-up" group that will need to stay and wait for the "ok" before they leave the building. 


Also, please thank your crew-they were spectacular!!!!

Update

Hello Everyone,

Great work this week.  You have a fabulous show........enjoy  the moments because they are truly beautiful.

Just a few reminders:
1.  Bring good hangers for your costumes tomorrow-they look like they have not be taken care of: pant hangers for guys-skirt hangers for girls.

2. Double A batteries-we need tons!  If you could bring some in-that would be terrific.

3.  I will be at school by 5:30 p.m. tomorrow-come and be ready for notes by 5:45 p.m.

4.  Make-up: remember to reapply during intermission.

5. NO NOISE off stage-NO CANE NOISE-NO TALKING!!!!

6.  SMILE!  Have fun.

7.  Do your homework.

8. YOU MUST COME TO SCHOOL ON TIME!!!!!! NO LATE FOLKS FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!

You are the people who can do it all-be responsible.

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR NAME TAGS WITH YOUR COSTUME.

I wonder which cast member does not have their tag with their costume?  Hm...perhaps the tag is now hanging in the choral room?

For costume items missing, the fee for replacement will be the responsibility of the cast member.

Get rest-eat well.

Be happy!

I am very proud of you all.
