Hello Musical Families!
We have a week and a half left of time together on this amazing Musical project, and I am so excited to see it all come together! Everyone has been working very hard on doing their part, and soon all of these smaller parts will come together to remind us that WE ARE ALL CONNECTED!
As always, I have some important information and updates for you. Please be sure to read through this entire message! Thank you for your help and support with everything!
**Additional Risers Needed: Does anyone have access to anything resembling a riser that might match the ones we currently have? I was thinking about buying one, but they are $830 and that is way out of our current budget. If anyone knows of another school or place we may be able to borrow one, please let me know ASAP.
1. Volunteers needed during next week's rehearsals: We have rehearsal each day next week (see remaining schedule below) and this means we will need EVEN MORE student wranglers and helpers. Please plan on coming to any or all of the days that you can next week. It is truly a very important help to have as many adults helping there as possible. Last week at rehearsal, we had a student crack his head open because he was playing unsupervised during the break in the front of the school. (Most parent helpers go to the hallway to administer snack during this time) We need all hands on deck to help make sure our 100+ students are safe at all times. This is more than something that one person can do alone.
2. Set Help needed at Thursday's rehearsal: As stated in my previous email, we are in need of some helpers to complete the very last portion of the sets - the river/farm fencing pieces. If you are free and able to come and help Thursday afternoon/evening, please let me know!
3. Students CANNOT BOTHER THE OFFICE DURING REHEARSAL: I have again heard from the office that students are continuously disrupting their after-school work time, which has been asked of students to not do again and again. PLEASE SEND YOUR CHILD WITH A WATER BOTTLE SO THAT THEY DO NOT GO INTO THE OFFICE TO GET A CUP DURING REHEARSAL. Please also speak with your child about this important time that those working in office need without interruption in order to make sure that the school runs smoothly.
4. Parents who are already attending Rehearsals: If you are at rehearsal already, WE NEED YOUR HELP! At least during snack time, we really need ALL parents to be helping keep kiddos safe. Please do not just sit in the back of the auditorium during this 15 minute period where kids are running all over the place. This would be extremely helpful, even if you choose not to help the rest of the rehearsal time. From 4:00-4:15 we need you adult supervision abilities.
5. Need a Saturday Potluck Coordinator (or a few): We are going to have a shared meal on Saturday between the afternoon and evening performances. I am looking for a few people to take the lead on organizing this. This would look like reaching out to the whole group with a sign-up sheet of some kind, making sure that there are dishes, utensils and enough food to share for at least 200 people (Students and families). Then we will need some parents to help prep this buffet and help make sure it runs smoothly. If you are able to do any of these things (or even a portion of them) please let me know ASAP. Thank you so much for this!
6. Students need to be rehearsing at home: Please make sure that
students are rehearsing their lines, cues (when they need to say their
lines) and songs at home. It is also helpful to have students familiar
with the script in general because there are many times where all of the
animals need to be acting or moving in a certain way.
7. Bring in base layer costumes: Please remember to bring in base layer costumes (see the color chart in the previous email) ASAP. Dress Rehearsal will be MONDAY MARCH 6th. BASE LAYERS MUST BE IN BY THEN.

Thank you for being such an incredible community,
Caitlin
