Hadestown Dance Video Drive and OCTOBER rehearsal change - ALL REVIEW!

Hey all! 

Here is the link for the Hadestown Video Drive: 

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tSLTygwng1PTEWYdFX7qKP5UDALtvY9j?usp=sharing  

Please bookmark this link so you can stay on top of each dance we upload and review dances! 

Also, I was informed today that the Sadie Hawkins Dance was moved and I DID calendar around the original date... that said, I am going to be awesome and move rehearsal on the 11th of October to the 18th of October.  Thus, there will be NO rehearsal on October 11th.  There will be a rehearsal on October 18th from 9am-12:30pm. PLEASE make the change to your calendar now and I need an email by Wednesday this week (9/17) if there are ANY new issues. 

Thank you for being so awesome and already working so hard. Listening to everyone sing today was so exciting for me and y'all are sounding GLORIOUS!  I appreciate y'all a ton!

MEAN GIRLS: Reminders and Announcements

"Mean Girls" season is upon us!  We are at the point where things begin to be full steam ahead and we could not be more excited.  PLEASE READ THE WHOLE MESSAGE.  A few reminders and things to know:

1) Tomorrow, grade checks are due.  PRINT your grades and bring them to rehearsal after school tomorrow - if you are missing rehearsal bring them earlier or by the next day. You will fold them in half, hand them to Addi and she will give them to me once all collected.  No exceptions - I need to check everyone. 

2) If you have ANY donations - clothing, accessories, props - we need them ASAP!  I have some parents coming tomorrow to help sort through whatever we get so we can begin costuming and filling in the gaps. Please bring donations TOMORROW!  Anything that time period helps! 

3) If you are on this list below, our costume team would like to see you after school ON OCTOBER 10TH for a little mini-fitting at 2:45-3:45pm in the Green Room of the PAC; they might not need you the whole time, but please stop by for what you can: Abby Carpenter, Leah Memmott, Emma Sweat, Hallee Wasden, Kason Seamans, Ethan Regan, Niv Raz, Jakob Payne, Kennadee Hewlett, Aubree Hewlett, Madelynn Chatwin, Xylia Stennet Luke, Christian Holyfield, Izzy Walbeck, and Connor Lyon.  If this is NOT possible, send me an email. Please bring your jeans, shoes, and any costume pieces you want to use that you already own. 

Remember, EVERYONE ELSE will me checking off with Tamara the next day during rehearsal.  You need all of your pieces too with you on Wednesday OR a picture of you wearing them - not just the pieces.  A picture of you wearing them. 

4) This is the week to start having really clean dances and songs, so prepare to be tested as needed - you know what practice you need so be solid on your parts! Dance and songs checks are bound to happen! 

5) The #pinkwednesdayalta contest begins this week!  Please spread the word around and repost when it is put up on Instagram.  We want to start really getting people aware of the show and gearing up for the incredible run.  Wear Pink on Wednesdays and you should enter too!!!


6) Lastly, I will be reaching out to people this week to be our "Stupid with Love" dancers for next week - if you are not free on the 17th, please do not accept the role. :) I want to highlight people as much as we can, but also need you there on those rehearsal days. So excited - it's going to be a fun week!

P.S. Drama Club in Wednesday - it's a costume contest and halloween bash from 2:45-3:45pm; all are welcome and we'd love to have you there.  Join Drama Club!

Tap Thursdays - Come prepare for auditions!

 Hey all!

Auditions for Mean Girls are coming up in a few weeks and I wanted to let you know that starting next week we will be hosting Tap Thursdays before school starts to get your skills sharpened.  It's a chance to learn some tap, meet the choreographer ahead of time, and start to get in the "picking-up-choreography" mode.  No matter what part you are going out for, we would love to have you and it's open to ALL current and incoming-this-year Alta students.  See the flyer below for dates and times - all Tap Thursdays will be held in the Alta PAC Auditorium!

Little Mermaid Backing Tracks and Dance Links

I was going to try and download each of the backup tracks, but it proved quite the feat.  Thus, I am going to provide you all with a link to the tracks, an access username, and password.  When you pull up tracks to practice with please go to: https://player.mtishows.com/ 

You will click on the SECOND option: Organization Login/Production Tracks  - don't click on the first link "rehearsal track access," unless you wanna figure out downloading them and codes... please do not email me asking to help you figure out how to do that because I will tell you to simply click the second option. :) 

You will then enter the following login information:
Username: ALTAHIGHSCHOOL
Password: castmember 

Click on show "Little Mermaid" and then ignore the download options and click on TRACKS.  This will give you access to all backing tracks we will be using to practice with.  Remember, I expect you all to come back with music (and lines) fully memorized and ready to be performed.  We'll get it where it needs to be, but only if we have that full time with you all memorized.  This should be a PRIORITY! 

Also, here are copies of all the dances we have done so far.  You are have these DOWN PAT and will be tested on them on January 8th in rehearsal.  PLEASE don't be the person I have to cut from a dance because it's obvious you did not practice.  I assure you, Alisa and I WILL know!  






I will be sending out emails to a few students about being a part of "One Step Closer" (rehearsal on January 5th), so please check email next week and respond quickly as to if you accept that role.  Thanks and enjoy the holiday break! 

ONE MORE REMINDER:  Our next Covid check is January 4th (the day we return) at 7:20am.  Thanks!
