Printable parent information packet
DATES/TIMES: The program will run for two weeks from July 2 – July 13 from 8:30 – 2:30. We will not meet on Wednesday, July 4
PERFORMANCE DATE: There will be two performances on Friday, July 13. The first one will be at 10:30 and the second one at 1:30. Doors will open a half hour before the performance. Performances will be at Thompson Brook School.
STUDENTS SHOULD: Wear comfortable clothing, sneakers or footwear that is appropriate for movement and dance. Flip-flops, backless sandals/shoes are strongly discouraged.
Bring a midmorning snack, lunch and plenty of water/juice. We will be taking a morning and afternoon break and about 30 minutes for lunch. If possible, I am asking that you try to avoid giving your child anything that has nuts in it especially anything with peanuts.
AUDITIONS/CASTING: This year students will be auditioning on either Thursday, June 28 from 12:00-2:30 pm
or Friday, June 29 from 9-11:30 am. This allows us to start rehearsals right away since we will be
missing rehearsals on July 4th. You sign up you son or daughter for one of those days when you register for the program.
You are welcome to wait while your child auditions.
Please have your child bring with them to the audition his/her audition form, emergency form, and any days that you would be willing to volunteer your time to help during rehearsals.
For the audition students will recite one of the attached monologues, and sing one of the attached songs.
Students will also be taught a short dance routine at the audition. Students that are not comfortable singing by themselves can sing with others in a small group. But please note that we cannot consider them for a lead part if the child doesn’t sing alone. There are many small solo singing parts in this show that they may be considered for.
COSTUMES/PROPS: Specific costume and prop needs will be sent home one the show is cast.
DISMISSAL will either be from the chorus room or the gym at 2:30. If your child will be
home, or needs to leave early, please send your child in with a note to that effect
and let one of the directors know.
You are not allowed to park or leave your car unattended in the fire lanes.
EMERGENCY FORM: There will be no nurse on duty during the summer session, therefore it is
imperative that you fill out the form that is attached and have your child bring it with them on Monday, July 2. Any medication sent to the program must be in the original bottle and clearly labeled with your child’s full name. Please highlight any food allergies or other allergies.
