Tickets Sales

I wanted to let you know a couple of things before tickets go on sale this Friday.  First of all, you should have received 2 complimentary tickets for your family.  These came home with the oldest child in your family who is in the show.  These tickets are general admission and can be used for any show and are good for a child or adult ticket.
Secondly, tickets go on sale this Friday.  We are doing all ticket sales online this year.  The online tickets will also be general admission so all you need to do is go online and order the number of tickets you need for each show.  Please don't include your complimentary tickets in the ones you purchase online.  These are totally separate.  The nice thing about online tickets is that you can share the link with your friends and family and they can purchase their own tickets.  I have included in this post an image that you can share via text, email, facebook, Instagram, etc.  In addition to posting the image, please include the following link so they can go right to the page to buy tickets.

The Next Couple of Weeks

We are sooooo close to finishing up the first half, but we are not quite ready to do our first half stumble through on Monday.  I know I have said this before, but this email is going to have a lot of information in it, so please read through to the end. 
Monday, February 25th:
3:45-4:45- Vocal Rehearsal
We will be learning the vocals for Mrs. Gutzman.  I need the entire cast for vocals.
4:45-5:45- Mrs. Gutzman
We are so close to finishing up the choreography for Gutzman so I need the entire cast to work through the rest of this number.  At 5:45, Rooms 2, 3, & 4, Adults, Pop-ins and Shoobees may go home
5:45-6:30- Beeswax Reprise
I need room one to stay and work through the Beeswax Reprise
Wednesday, February 27th:
3:45-5:30- Dance Run through and clean up
I need the entire cast to go through all the numbers in the show.  We will clean them up.

Originally when I sent the rehearsal calendar out there was a possible rehearsal on Monday, March 4th even though there isn't school that day.  We have decided to have a rehearsal for Shoobees and Room one.  Room One will need to be there from 3:45-6:30, and Shoobees will need to be there from 3:45-5:45.  This is actually a pretty important rehearsal, especially for Room one.  There are several scenes we have worked through briefly, but haven't had a chance to run through them in the gym.  We are going to take the time to go through each scene in the first half.  Please make sure your child has their lines memorized for each of these scenes.  It is easier to run through without books. 

February 20th & 21st

This week is a big week for us.  We will be working on Gladys Gutzman which is a whole cast number.  I have been looking forward to this one for a long time.
Wednesday, February 20th:
3:45-5:30- Gladys Gutzman; I need the whole cast there the entire time.
Thursday, February 21st:
3:45-5:30- We will be finishing up Gladys Gutzman and starting on Boss of Lunch.  I need the whole cast there the entire time.  I know we don't normally have rehearsal on Thursdays, but please remember on weeks where we don't have school on Monday, we have added Thursday rehearsals.  I know that some of you have weekly obligations that happen on Thursdays, but I ask that since we only have a few rehearsals on Thursday that you make every effort to be at practice.  It is really hard to choreograph with a lot of missing bodies.
Thanks again for all of your support.

February 11th & 13th Rehearsals

I have quite a few announcements this week, so hold on and please read through to the end.
First of all, I have delivered complimentary tickets to your child's teachers on Friday.  Some students may have come home with them on Friday, if they didn't, they should be bringing them home on Monday.  Each family receives 2 complimentary tickets.  They are distributed to the oldest child in the family.  These tickets are good for either an Adult or Student and can be used for any show.  You can get additional tickets online on Showtix4u.com.  These tickets will be general admission and they are available beginning on March 1st.
Secondly, musical t-shirts have been ordered and delivered.  I have them all sorted and ready to give to the kiddos.  I will be giving shirts to all cast and choir members on Monday who have paid their donations.  If you still need to pay your donation, you can send cash or a check to rehearsal, or pay with a card at the front office.  If you are unable to pay the donation, please let me know.
Next, I have shared the Junie B. Jones online script through Production Pro with all of you.  The program is now available on all devices, laptops, desktops, kindles, phones, etc.  You should have received an email on how to install the app/program.  You should be able to log on using your email.  Please let me know if you have any problems logging on. 
Lastly, here is the plan for this week
Monday, February 11th
3:45-4:45- Vocal Rehearsal- I need Rooms 1, 2, Shoobees and Popins.  Popins are free to leave after vocal rehearsal. 
4:45-5:45- I need stage crew to work through You Can Be My Friend.  Stage Crew is free to leave at 5:45.
4:45-6:30- I need Shoobees to run through their Shoobee numbers
4:45-6:30- Room 1 and Mom and Dad to learn Show and Tell
Wednesday, February 12th

3:45-5:30- I need Room 1 to block the Show and Tell Scene as well as the Lunch Room Scene.  Please try to memorize or be familiar with your lines before rehearsal.  It is much easier to block without your books. 

February 4th Rehearsal

I can't believe we are in February already.  Things are going so well and I am so proud of these kids.  This week we will only be having rehearsal on Monday since parent-teacher conferences will be on Wednesday. 
Monday, February 4th:
3:45-4:45: Vocal Rehearsal- I need ALL CAST members for vocal rehearsal.
3:45-4:45: It will be our first choir rehearsal in Mrs. Coombs' classroom.
4:45-5:45- I need Classroom 2 and Pop-ins to work on You Can Be My Friend.   We will be adding our stage crew to this number.
4:45-6:30- I need Classroom 1 and Pop-ins to work on You Need Glasses.  I know that pop-ins can't be in 2 places at once so they will be with Classroom 2 for the 2nd hour and with Room 1, the last 45 minutes. 
I know there's a lot of sickness going around right now, so I want to just remind you that if your child is sick and will miss a rehearsal, please email me and let me know.
