Schedule updates...

From now on, you will have to find schedule updates on the sidebar to your left.  Simply click on the link.  If you are viewing this from an iphone or ipad, you may not be able to view this option.  You will need to do so on a pc.  Thank you!

MONDAY'S PRACTICE

This Monday, February 24, is our first RUN-THRU :) Get excited!!!!!  This means it is time for a few reminders!

*Monday's practice is from 2-UNTIL WE ARE FINISHED.  Everyone must stay the entire practice.  We will let students call when we are close to finish to let you know when to pick-up.  You are welcome to come watch at any point!

*Practice is at EASTWOOD Presbyterian Church.

*Please send a sack dinner with your student.  We do not have time to warm things up, nor do we have use of a refrigerator.  They are welcome to bring small cooler bags if needed.

*Please DO NOT BRING FOOD AT DINNER BREAK for your child to eat.  We do not know when that break will be and we ALL have to eat together in the same place.  Your child WILL NOT have time to go get any food either.  Once we begin practice, everyone stays at practice.

*This will be a VERY LONG day.  Please help your child (young or old) to bring things they can do to stay busy.  I cannot imagine staying for this amount of time with nothing to do in between scenes!!!

Please let me know if you have any questions!!!!
THANK YOU!!!

READ-THRU

A miracle happened today!!!  The scripts came in and just in time for the read-thru!!!
READ THRU
The Read-Thru is FRIDAY, Jan. 10, from 2-4 p.m. in Mr. Givens' room.
This is for Upper School cast members who wish to attend and lower school main roles.  Main Roles means they have a name in the cast.  We are excited and hope you are!
FIRST WEEK OF PRACTICE
Main Roles go ahead and plan on practice next week for Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 2-4 p.m. We will release a tentative schedule by Friday!

AUDITION RESULTS!!!!!!

This year's audition process was great!  Thank you to each student who participated!  We have a nice-sized group for our upper-school cast and a very small Lower School group.  We did have to significantly cut our lower-school participation again this year.  It was sad, but necessary.  "The Sound of Music" only has a few roles for Lower School.  That being said, if we could, we would put EACH ONE of you in the show.  So, if your child's name didn't make this list, please don't lose heart!  Next year is a whole new year, with a new play and new opportunities.  If all goes as planned it will be a play with TONS of "kid" roles! Please come back and audition again!  If you are a parent whose child is not on this list and you still want to volunteer, please let me know! 
Also, if you are an upper-school student who tried out and whose name does not appear on the list, please let me know asap!  There is hardly a year where I don't somehow misplace someone's name, etc.  EVERY upper school student interested in participating, gets to.  So let me know!
Thank you again for participating!  We hope even those who are not playing a role this year will support their fellow students and sit back and enjoy the show! 
For those of you on this list, there is an upper school read-thru on FRIDAY from 2-4 in Mr. Givens room.   It is MANDATORY for MAIN ROLES (not otherwise previously excused) and all other Upper School participants may attend. 
THANK YOU!
