package if wanting to
purchase
individual or class pictures. These will be available soon. Remember that we
ask that
all students try to be present for picture day regardless if you buy any or
not. It is
nice for
students to be able to see their class pictures on the walls when they return
in the
fall and
continually see each new year posted.
Video tapes: Video tapes will be available for
purchase by picking up an order form. If
video
taping yourself, you are only allowed to do so on Thursday during Dress
Rehearsal.
This also applies to any flash
photography.
Rules and Regulations:
Rather than students purchasing tickets
per performance as in the past, all students in the
Recital will now be required to purchase a
“PARTICIPATION RECITAL BRACELET”
which will
take the place of a ticket and get them in the doors Thursday, Friday and
Saturday.
The cost is $10 for those students
performing in both shows and only $5 for those
performing in
one. This applies to all students, both
company and recreational. No student
will be
allowed to go on stage without a bracelet.
Bracelets will go on sale the first week of
June with a student list kept for records.
Beware, this includes everyone. No Exceptions.
No young siblings are allowed to sit on
laps unless they are in the back row. The only
people allowed in with the performing students Dress Rehearsal are young
siblings 6 and under and the ONE parent/guardian who are transporting
them.
Anyone else that arrives will have to purchase a discount ticket. The reason being,
is that
many people over the past years decide to come in free for dress rehearsal and
not
purchase a
ticket Fri. or Sat. thus causing over crowding and much distraction for Thurs.
which is
supposed to be the students free night.
Parents Options on Fri & Sat: (depending on the age of your
child.)
1. Parents watch performance in audience
with a ticket, while child is out back watching the
live show on the television monitor.
2. Parent picks up child backstage
immediately after performance and brings child into
audience with a purchased ticket.
3. Parent waits in the backstage area for
child to perform and leaves following the end of the
number, if not wishing to purchase any tickets at all.
**Due to the limited Dressing Room areas,
we will need to divide up some of the younger
and
intermediate classes between the 2 shows. Please see individual teachers with
updated
information or
you can check our website for more information.
Tiny Tot Parents: All Tiny Tot parents must personally
bring child to the backstage area
and wait
until they go backstage. Parents then go
into the audience to watch and come back
immediately
following the number to pick them up. Parents please remember that being on
stage for
a small 2-5 yr. old can be quite overwhelming with the lights, scenery, people
etc..
If they make it out on stage, we’re
pleased. If they actually move their
bodies we’re thrilled
and if
they happen to do the dance as learned, we’re ecstatic!! Please be proud no
matter
what.
Awards: All Achievement pins will be given out
the last lesson before the show with the
exception of
our “Special Awards”. The “special
awards” will be given out at our Spaghetti
Fund Raiser Banquet on May 17th
at
company
students and families to attend this fun event.
The Senior awards will be given out
at the recital
finale. Like last year we will be
handing out Achievement Pins. Each child
will
receive our
new color-coded collectors Pin. Each color represents a specific number of
years
your
child has been a member of our dancing family.
Please let us know what year it is for
your
child using our sign up sheet located on the bulletin board in the main
lobby. You may
purchase any
of the previous years colored pins if you would like. The cost is $3.25 per pin.
Refreshments:
We will be doing the same set up as last year if the school still allows
us to.
The common in the center is a great place
to picnic with your family, weather permitting.
There is absolutely no food allowed in the
dressing rooms or in the auditorium.
Dressing Rooms: The same dressing room spaces will be
available as last year. All students
in one
number can wear their costume there and bring a large cover t-shirt if entering
the
auditorium.
Last Parents Day: Will be their last class in June. For the
last lesson in June we will hand
out
achievement pins and have last class announcements. If you would like to bring
in a treat for
your
class, please see the instructor for the number of students per class. All
parents please be
present to
get last minute information.
Gym Show: For all acro/gym
classes. The show is Tuesday June 6th at Hampshire Regional
High
School. Remember this is a
separate show from the recital. This is
specifically for our
acrobat/gymnastic
students, which takes place in an open gymnasium. It is a very informal
exhibition
where you will see your child perform a variety of skills rotating from one
apparatus
to
another. Unlike the recital you are able
to video-tape throughout the show as well as take
photos. It is
similar to a three-ring circus where you will see many activities going on at
once,
from our youngest beginners to our advanced company students. This format seems
to
be the
best way for all involved. This format seems to be the best way for all involved. For more
information/details
please see the separate Gym Show Newsletter. Any questions see Lisa
Anthony/Debbie
Bean.
Company Notices: To help aid in our fundraising efforts,
we’re looking for some volunteers
to bake
and help out at the gym show and recital.
We really appreciate all of you who
take the
time to volunteer every year. We may not
have time to do all solos, duo/trios at Dress
Rehearsal. If time allows we will run through some at
the end of rehearsal.
Money past due: Anyone that still owes tuition,
competition fees or costume balances will
not be
allowed to purchase tickets unless their bill is paid in full. Your monthly
payments
are
pro-rated throughout the year so that it balances out over the course of the
season.
Please remember that there is full June
tuition due. We ask for your complete cooperation
regarding this
matter.
Summer Registration: All company students must attend summer
classes to maintain
Company
status. All other students
interested may sign up at the recital.
Info about Company
Auditions, summer workshops and private
lessons will he posted for sign up at the Recital
near the
dressing areas or main lobby. There will
be 3 Dance Camps offered this summer.
