Here are the highlights of this email - PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING!
1) Your FIRST Grade Check for Musical will be on October 9th. This means you will PRINT OUT and physically bring your grades to me at that rehearsal. If you are missing that rehearsal, send them with a friend or bring them in ahead of rehearsal time. That means, you have TWO WEEKS from today to get grades in a solid place to be able to do this show. I have to stick to grade rules, so work hard these two weeks without set rehearsals.
2) You will be tested sometime on that week of the 9th on dances and music as needed, so don't leave it sit. Practice these next two weeks without set rehearsals! If there is a day or two you would like to come in and practice with the videos or dance captains, reach out to them and see their availability. You can also just come with a group of you and practice in the lobby today through Thursday after school or next week on Monday or Tuesday. You CAN practice Wed-Fri next week, but I will not be here to let you in as Shakespeare will be on trip. Dance videos are uploaded here: Dance Videos
3) Night of Shakespeare is next Tuesday Night at 7pm! Tickets are sold at the door for $5 and in Struik's classes, you can turn in that ticket for 20 points extra credit. It would mean the world to have you come send off the team with a TON of support! It is also... OCTOBER 3RD! Thus, to celebrate "our new favorite day," if you show up that night and attend to support AND wear pink, you can get a prize by seeing Struiks! Come support all of team's hard work!!!
4) Lastly, PARENTS (or students ASK parents): We are in need of early 2000s accessories and phones you would be willing to lend or donate to the show. This is proving the hardest to find cheap. For example, big chunky jewelry and belts, sunglasses, bags, hair clips, trucker hats (hats in general), bandanas, and FLIP PHONES! If you have old things you want to get rid of, we will gladly take them off your hand and would LOVE those as soon as possible. If you have any of those things and can send them with your student by October 9th, that would be amazing!
Thanks for all you are each doing to already make this show a success - I really am loving working with this cast and seeing all of your incredible skills shine! :)
