Parent's Patience

Just want to thank you for being patient, supportive parents.  Many students couldn't do South Pacific because they didn't have a ride or parents wouldn't allow them. I appreciate you providing a way for your child to be involved.  Many of you volunteered to help with snacks, and you will be getting called to assist this weekend. If you are interested in helping girls with hair or makeup, contact me via email (vanica.crane@besd.net).
Next week will be an intense week with long rehearsals, and the following week, we perform!  PLEASE, encourage your child to be attentive and respectful. We will get done much quicker if everyone is where they need to be, when they need to be there. I will not keep students any longer than I feel is necessary.  Also, there is plenty of time for every cast member to get their homework done DURING rehearsal--with the exception of Nellie. There is lots of down time for most cast members.  I remind students of this, but if your child comes home and acts exhausted and then says, "I have a ton of homework..." ask them what they were doing during their down time! Get them to bed as early as you can, and eat healthy. 
We are almost done. Let's do our very best and finish strong.  Thanks again to the wonderful, supportive parents that allow this to happen.  You're the best!

Longer Practice and TICKET SALES!!!!

Hi there, everybody! Wow! Our show opens in 18 days! Are you ready?  Make sure you have your costumes put together and lines memorized.  Practices are going to be busy and full, so come ready to work. Bring your homework to finish during down time.  DON'T GET BEHIND IN SCHOOL! That needs to be your top priority, as well as being a good family member. But I believe you can also do your best for our show.  It takes focus and hard work, but you can do it.

PRACTICES WILL GO UNTIL 5 PM THIS WEEK. Please arrange your schedule to attend the entire time.  Remember that you need to sign out before leaving practice, and I will have to drop anyone just not showing up. It's too close to  showtime!  Most of you have been absolutely wonderful about attending rehearsal. If you fall under that category, pat yourself on the back.

TICKET SALES:  Starting Tuesday morning, March 4, you can get your tickets from Mrs. Leonard in the office. Tickets are only $5 each (a bargain considering the total awesomeness of our show).  Tickets are first come, first served. If you want your family to have the best seats in the house, you'd better be in there getting your tickets ASAP!  Tickets can also be purchased at the door on show nights, but good seats go fast so don't wait until the last minute. 

Encourage your family, neighbors, friends to come and support you in South Pacific.  You've put together an amazing show, and we want big audiences! I'm proud of you and lucky to be your director. See you Tuesday!
