We are about a month out from our big production and now is the time for all hands on deck with volunteering. If you have offered up your help, but have not yet found a way to get involved, here are some upcoming opportunities. Please email me if you are available and I will get you connected to the right people:
1. Costumes - We have a great group of parents who have started on this aspect of our show, but we are looking for a few more who would be willing to take on creating the costumes for one or more animal group (no more than for 5 student costumes total in each animal group) and all we would need would be ears, tails, collars, wrist or leg warmers etc (whatever you envision for that animal)
*All Parents - please read this important note about costumes: We are asking that each student, who is able, bring in their own solid long-sleeved shirt and pants in their animal color to wear under their ears, tail, collar etc. Please see the list below:
Farm Domestic Animals:
Cows- White
Sheep - White or Black
Pigs - Pale Pink (no Neon)
Farm Cat - Black
Diurnal Animals:
Rabbits, Deer, Moose, Elk and Squirrels - Brown
Foxes - Red or Orange
Ravens - Black
Other Birds - Tan or something specific to your bird type
Nocturnal Animals:
Owls, beavers, mink, and cougars - Brown
Bats - Dark brown or black
Raccoons, Wolves, and Mice - Gray
Coyotes - Tan, light brown
Banana Slug - Dark yellow or brown
Water Spirits - Blue
2. Choreography - We are looking for someone who is willing to do simple choreography with the students during several songs, and then in one scene in particular - the water filtration scene (scene 3). You can access the songs here on the blog via Soundcloud and come up with some simple gestures or hand movements that all students could do, and then email me with specifics about scene 3.
3. Program - We need some parents to create a program for the show - please email me if you are willing and able to help with this.
4. Ticket Sales - We need some parents to take this aspect of the production on completely. The PTA has an online system for this, and can help someone who has never done it before, or if you helped last year, perhaps you can provide your expertise or help again this year?
5. Makeup - Designs and Execution - I need someone to help the Back stage students take this on and prepare everything we need to help students become their animals during the performance weekend of March 10th and 11th.
6. Misc - we used to have a farm backdrop made out of a refrigerator box that I believe is still stored in the basement/boiler room of the school. If someone is willing to go down there, look for it and retrieve it, that would be wonderful. I know right where it would be, but cannot do it while pregnant.
**All Parents - The songs are now available on Soundcloud, and can be accessed here: We Are All Connected Songs
**All Parents - Students received their one and only copy of the script last week at rehearsal. They need to bring this and a pencil to each rehearsal from here on out. If your child looses their script, you can print out another copy here: We Are All Connected Script
**All Parents - If you have not yet paid the Musical Lab fee, and have not discussed a volunteer trade with me, please follow this link to pay the lab fee for your child:
I believe that is it for now. Please let me know if you have questions, or ideas on how to make our Musical the best production it can be!
Cheers,
Caitlin
