Dear
Parents and Students;
Upon
arrival, find yourself a spot in a dressing room, band room or music room (doors
will be marked), to keep costume changes. Do not use bathrooms to get changed.
Parents, please do not drop off your older kids unattended all day to dress rehearsal.
Please, please, respect school property and clean up after yourself. especially
in the bathrooms. Food is not allowed in the auditorium, backstage or in dressing
rooms. Do not touch things such as musical instruments, chalkboards, teacher's
desks, etc. We will check dressing room and get a report from the custodian. Please
help maintain our good reputation and clean up after yourself!
The
Grand Finale': This is done ordinarily at the end of the show, but being done
first at each rehearsal, to expedite things. Then we'll do the show from beginning
to end in order of the program. This is the only time that people dancing in the
show are allowed to sit down in the audience. Classes performing in more than
one show, rehearse at its earliest dress rehearsal. Everyone may leave when they've
done all their dances. Your teacher will go over everything in class, including
which costume is first.
Badge
Mothers: We still need badge mothers for some classes, so please check with
your teachers if you can help out. Sign up sheets are at the studio.
Photographer:
OceanWalk Photography will be doing individual pictures at the dress rehearsal,
in the lobby. Group photos will be taken backstage at the recital. Order forms
are available at the studio and you can fill them out in advance to save time.
Costumes:
Put your name on EVERY piece of costume, and in shoes! Regular panties are not
supposed to be worn under costumes. This is why we wear quality (Danskin) tights
for performing. If you did not order them from Robin, you need to find out what
# to order so that they match.
Hair:
Wear your hair the way you plan to wear it in the recital, to make sure your hairdo
and headpiece work. All hair must be up and off the neck and NO BANGS - gel works.
Bring bobby pins, safety pins, and hairspray or gel., etc. Bright makeup is required,
because of the picture taking.

bulbs may be used. During the recital performance, however, cameras and videos
are prohibited, so take advantage, and your pictures now.
