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!!!
