We are so excited to get started with blocking of the first half of the show. It is all coming so quickly and we have all been working so hard. This week we have a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it. Due to so many of you being involved with the Robotics club, I am going to permanently change Monday rehearsals to start at 4:30 instead of 4:00. I know this doesn't involve all of you, but it involves enough of you that it will make our time together more effective.
The schedule for this week is:
Monday we will be going through the Jungle Prologue. We need the jungle, Shanti and girls, wolves, Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera, Shere Khan, monkeys (except King Louie and Old Monkey), Baby Elephant, vultures and bees.
Tuesday we will be working on Kaa the Snake and Trust in Me. We need Bagheera, Mowgli, Shanti and girls, Kaa, bushes, trees, rocks, bees and vultures.
This will take us through the first 4 scenes in the play.

Wednesday Rehearsal
Yesterday, I posted that I needed all monkeys and King Louie to come to rehearsal. We will be working on the "I Want to Be Like You" song and dance. Mrs. Debbie Wood will also be coming to the school on Wednesday afternoon to help some of the cast make some props for the "Bare Necessities" song. If you are a jungle member, please come to rehearsal on Wednesday afternoon. Although you won't be practicing your song, you will be helping us make your props. This will be a lot of fun and if you all come, we can get a lot of work done rather quickly. Also, Mrs. Debbie would like a couple of parents to come and help her out. If you are able and willing to come and help, please let me know.

Clarification
First of all, I want to let all of you know how wonderful all of your children are. Everytime we have rehearsal, I get so excited about the show. They are all so talented and amazing
I want to clarify a couple of things so that in the future, there is less confusion. You should all have a calendar of rehearsal dates (if you don't, please send your child to my classroom to pick one up). These are the dates we will be working on one or more parts of the show. Not all members of the cast and choir will need to be at all rehearsals, therefore, I will post on Sunday nights who will need to be at each rehearsal for the week. I know there has been some confusion concerning these posts. Please let me clarify.
1. When I identify rehearsals for all cast, that means all 3-6 graders who have a part in the play.
2. When I identify rehearsals for choir, that means all K-2 graders who are singing in the choir.
3. When I identify rehearsals for the jungle, that means rocks, plants, bushes, bees, Shanti, village girls/flowers, wolves and vultures, and trees.
4. When I identify rehearsals for monkeys, I mean King Louie, Old Monkey, Monkey 1, Monkey 2, Monkey 3 and all other extra monkeys.
5. When I identify rehearsals for elephants, that includes, Colonel Hathi, Baby Elephant, and all other dancing elephants.
6. When I identify rehearsals for leads, that includes Mowgli, Bagheera, Baloo, Colonel Hathi, Kaa (1-6), King Louie, Shanti, Shere Khan (There will be times when I call a rehearsal for the Jungle and then some, not all of the leads as well).
I hope this clears some things up for you.
Also, I know that this week, I planned a rehearsal for a different time. I did this so that we could have more time to get to all that we need to get to. Please know that I will try not to do this. Also, please be aware that on your calendar, Monday rehearsals are scheduled from 4:00-5:30. I am going to change these Monday times only to 4:30-6:00 unless otherwise specified. I was aware that many of your children are also involved in the Robotics club on Mondays, however, I was unaware of how many of our leads would be at Robotics from 4:00-4:30. I just feel it will be a better use of time to start a little later and have everybody be there.
One last thing! I know I am being a little long winded. If you haven't sent your donation for the musical, please do this as soon as possible. I have just ordered the t-shirts and that ate a big chunk of the money I have collected. I am starting to buy/make a lot of the sets and props that we need and I know the money will go quickly. I don't want to be a nag about this, but it will be impossible to pay for everything that we need to, if we don't have the donations in. If you have questions or concerns about this, please message me privately at jcoombs@alpinedistrict.org.
Thanks so much, and again, YOU ARE AMAZING!!!

February 9th and 11th.
I hope that things start getting less confusing as we are able to get on a normal schedule. This week we will be having rehearsals on Monday and Wednesday. I would like to start at 3:30 on Monday with the entire cast. The plan is to read through all the lines and go through the songs from the beginning of the show to the end. This should take us until about 4:30. At 4;30 we will just need the elephant troupe, Baby elephant Mowgli, and Bagheera to stay for the elephant dance. This should be from about 4:30-5:30.
On Wednesday we will be working on the Bare Necessities dance. We need the entire jungle, Baloo, Mowgli, Bagheera, and monkeys for this one. It will be from 4:00-5:30.
