Reminders

Hope everyone had a great time rehearsing and dancing on Thursday night Saturday morning. The next rehearsal will be Tuesday, January 12 at 6:30 p.m.
This rehearsal will be for all Rips and Zips, the Sea Witch, Sea Weed, and all the Sailors. Also, the technical crew will be needed starting this night.  There is lots to do!

Reminder to parents to sign up to work backstage. If you are unable to sign up one night, please contribute $10 to the Youth Theatre Fund for water and other "perks" for the Youth Theatre program.  Sign sheets are now available and will be sitting out for parents to sign up. 

T-shirt order forms were given to the kids at Thursday's rehearsal. These are NOT mandatory, and no one should feel obligated to purchase a shirt or pants. If desired, short sleeve shirts are $8; long sleeve shirts are $11; and sweat pants are $18.  If you didn't get a form from your child, you should get one soon. Orders are due on January 23rd so that the kids can get their shirts back in time to be used for publicity for the show. Checks should be written to "FCOA."

Also, a reminder that $10 (total) is required from each child for the script, music, and CD. This check can also be made to "FCOA" and WILL be RETURNED to you as soon as the required materials are returned (at the close of the show). With copyright laws, it is very important that these things are returned, and this is the most eficient way to be sure we get these back. Thank you!

Encourage your kids to practice their songs and to practice good, healthy habits while the show is going on. It can be an exhausting process, and good eating and sleeping habits go a long way in helping combat fatigue during school.  We are very excited to have your child involved in this production, and EVERY role is important, from the lead roles to the supporting roles, from the chorus to the technical crew. A show cannot be put on without all the characters, and it cannot be good if all the characters aren't good.  So encourage your child to stay in character, have a good attitude, and know that they are important to us! The following link gives some tips about staying healthy even when you are busy...some suggestions are geared for the adults, but we are busy right now, too...running the kids around to the rehearsals!

Lastly, if you have any extra paint, we can certainly use it for the set! Bright colors and blues are especially needed. Also, swim noodles are needed.

I hope that this is as wonderful an experience for you and your child, as it is for us!
