It is crucial for all students to attend these rehearsals. Students should wear regular dance clothes:Leotard, tights, and bring all dance shoes. There are restrooms in the front lobby if you wish to get there earlyto change. Arrive at least 10 minutes early. It is the only chance to become familiar with the stage. Do notleave anything at the auditorium & write names on ANYTHING you wear or bring.

Absolutely NO FOOD NO DRINKS NO GUManywhere in the building. You may sit outside to eat. We willbe fined if any food or drinks are found inside the building

Students should SIT in the audience. I will call up each class and send each class back to the audience tochange shoes while another class is rehearsing. T-Shirts and trophies will be handed out at the end of eachclass practice. DVD orders will be taken up Wednesday & Thursday. Please place the check and half theform in the box at the edge of the stage. I suggest paying with a check and enclosing it in an envelope alongwith the form. Order form at the back of packet.

If you have a concern please try another teacher or assistant first. I hired backstage workers who mightalso be able to answer your questions, but please do not take them from any job they already have going on. would greatly appreciate your cooperation so I can manage rehearsals, not payments or general questions.This will greatly help keep us on schedule.

2:00 pm Arrive in full costume with full make up, all shoes, hair fixed, and ready to go on stage for firstdance. Please drop off dancers with all their costumes, bags with shoes, and extras in dressingareas. I ask that everyone but the sitters and dancers to be out of the dressing area by 2.

Sitters and attendants will be backstage at 2:00pm for all rehearsals. Please do not go back to help changetheir clothes and explain that they are to mind sitters and follow all of their rules and directions. These girls arebeing paid to take care of your children and help them change, get to and from the stage, and keep generalorder. Please help them out by making sure your children understand that even though the sitters andattendants are people they dont know, they are still in charge. It is VERY cramped back stage so try to avoidgoing back and forth.

Talk to the other moms in the class to see if someone wouldnt mind volunteering to bring a DVD andTV with DVD player, set up backstage during the finale rehearsal this morning. To entertain our dancersbring coloring books or sitting activities for younger children during rehearsals. Some classes have long waitsbetween dances. Do not bring anything that can mark a costume or generate loud noises. Dont bringanything your child will become attached to and want to bring on stage. If you leave it or loose it or its

damaged, it will not be Tech or DSUPs responsibility. This is why I do not suggest gaming or music devices.

Leaving: Students are NOT allowed to leave backstage to watch recital or rehearsal. Students may ONLYleave during dress rehearsal if they have finished all dances or if they wish to take pictures and have at least10 songs before performing. Please bring a change of clothes so you can take all costumes and accessorieswith you. Leave NOTHING behind after any of the rehearsals or the show. If you are gymnastics ONLY youare allowed to go into the auditorium to watch.
