Upcoming Rehearsals

Hi Everyone!
Our next rehearsal isn't until Tuesday, January 22nd from 7-8AM, and again immediately after school. We will start a FULL RUN THROUGH in my classroom at 3:10 sharp. Otherwise, we cannot get through the entire show. Our costume, makeup, and music department heads will be in attendance to make notes about quick changes, and which songs would benefit most from a little vocal tuning. We will NOT use any costume pieces, and it will be your job to arrive early enough to preset any rehearsal props you have been using in rehearsals up to this point.

Here are things you all need to think about before Tuesday:
1. Where do I enter from in scene ____?
2. What is my choreography in _________ song?
3. Going over your lines with someone at home (they should be very picky about your lines! Word for word.) This includes song lyrics!
4. This song happens just a minute or so after ___________. (in short, review your script and know your cues!)
5. Listening to the music and practicing your singing and choreography at home.

I know you all have a group chat, and most of you have exchanged numbers. As you start asking yourselves these questions this week(end), call, text, whatever each other if you don't know the answers to some of these questions. Somebody has to know! If you don't know choreography for a song (we have rehearsed ALL of them at this point), you must ask someone for your choreography before Tuesday's run. I am emailing your parents the Scene by Scene breakdown of the cast list, updated as a result of attendance at rehearsals this week. Use that to contact whoever you need to get caught up and refresh your memory.

We open in 15 days.

We have reached the point in this process when you must start taking ownership of this production. After our final dress rehearsal, I will officially hand this show over to you and tell you that it is yours, and only yours! However, you cannot wait until then to be independent of me and your cast mates.

If you are in Knights of the Round Table (Camelot), I expect you to know the choreography in the video I posted earlier today. You can do it! Yes, it will take some time, but you will be so proud of yourself when you perform on that stage, dancing in a way you never thought you could!

The work you are doing is great, and this show has so much potential! But you make the show; it doesn't just happen. If you're in, I need you to be all in.

Shoes

Please bring any black, closed toe shoes, you have with you to rehearsal. We're trying to determine what shoes everyone should wear, and would like to avoid asking you to buy specific shoes if necessary. The more of you who bring in multiple pairs of shoes and present us with many options, the more likely that will be. Boots, sneakers, heels, flats, and dress shoes are all good. Thank you!
