Students may leave dress rehearsal if they have finished all dances.

Sitters and attendants will be backstage at 2:00pm for rehearsals.

PARENTS please do not go back to do costume changes. It is VERY cramped backstage so try to avoidgoing back and forth. This year passes will be required to go back and forth.

Volunteering to bring a DVD and TV with DVD player, set up backstage during the finale rehearsal thismorning will entertain our dancers. Bring coloring books or other sitting activities during rehearsals. Do notbring anything that can mark a costume or generate loud noises. OR anything students will become attachedto and want to bring on stage. Items left or lost or damaged, it will not be La Tech or DSUPs responsibility.

MOST students are NOT allowed to leave backstage to watch recital or rehearsal. Students who are ingymnastics ONLY are allowed to go into the auditorium to watch recital or rehearsals. I know it will be difficult

for 3&4 year olds but I ask that parents TRY to keep them backstage.

Leave NOTHING behind after any of the rehearsals or the show. Please bring a change of clothes so you cantake all costumes and accessories with you after dress rehearsals.

NO SEATS may be reserved for later that evening. ABSOLUTELY: NO FOOD, NO DRINK, NO GUMANYWHERE IN THE BUILDING: Its not my rule its La Techs and we can be fined or not allowed to rent iffood is seen or found! There is a water fountain backstage.

It is disrespectful to the videographer, unfair for those following the rules, and itsdistracting in the professional video.
