Region Last-Minute Reminders for Monday and Tuesday!

 Hey Region/State Team!

A few quick reminders about the upcoming week. On Monday we have our final rehearsal and Team Day rom 2:30-5pm.  Please bring ALL costume pieces and any kind of speakers/props you need from home.  I encourage all Musical Theatre and Pantomimes to bring your own mini-speaker.  I will give you time to change at the top of Tuesday to change into costumes after some fun warmups! 

On Tuesday, you will be excused from class at 1:30pm to come down to the Green Room and grab your set pieces and costumes.  We will load the bus at 1:45pm and leave promptly after.  Plan to return to the school between 8:30-9pm pending awards time.  Parents and guardians, please watch for a text from students when we are 15 minutes out and please promptly head over to the school.  We will unload the bus and put away set quickly in the green room then all should head home. 

As you know, they are not providing a way for your to purchase dinner, so I made a plan to help out.  YOU will need to bring your own drinks/water-bottles and snacks, but myself and Cline will grab some pizzas from Marco's for you to eat after round 2 or 3 (pending time).  They DO offer gluten free pizza or pizza bowls (sans crust), so I can order some of those, but if nervous, you may bring your own food.  If you don't want pizza also plan to bring your own dinner too. I WOULD, again, bring your own snacks - you'll want some between rounds sometimes. If you would like a gluten free pizza, I will take a count on Monday so be sure and check with Marco's this weekend to be sure it meets the requirements you need. 

Thank you for your hard work and effort put into the past two months.  I greatly appreciate your drive to compete and am excited for you all to have the experience! I am rooting for you all and so excited to cheer for you through the evening! :)
