Encore: Wednesday, March 5 @ 7:30/Banquet Details
Due to icy roads and freezing temperatures, we have postponed
our encore performance, till Wednesday, March 5 at 7:30.
Since school is cancelled for the day, high school cast members should plan to arrive at 3:00 with a packed supper. We will walk thru music and set changes prior to eating supper, make-up, and hair. It would be helpful to have hair mostly done. Please bring scripts, erased.
Young cast members can arrive dressed and ready at 6:30. Boy Band can arrive at 7:00
Please be safe, get rest, and post the changed date and time of the encore on your social media.
Our plan for the banquet is moving it to 6:00 pm on Friday evening. On Friday, high school students are expected to stay after school to help strike the set, clean dressing rooms and music annex. This avoids conflict with the girls basketball game and scheduled band concert.

Enjoy Your Snowday
Hope today finds you warm and safe inside:) We will post information regarding the encore performance tomorrow, as it becomes available. If roads and parking lots are clear...and conditions appear safe for travel, we will perform as scheduled tomorrow evening. We will make that decision tomorrow as early in the day as feasible. Please check the blog hourly tomorrow (beginning around 10 am) until a decision can be made and posted. If you have trouble with your internet connection/provider, call a friend to get updated info please.
THANK YOU for an incredible weekend of performances. We are looking forward to our encore. Right now, if we cannot safely travel tomorrow, we will plan on our encore on Wednesday evening at the same time. We assume any scrimmages scheduled will not happen because of snow on the fields. Enjoy your rest and stay SAFE (You know who you are). You are the talk of the town:) Congratulations to each of you for your contributions to THE MUSIC MAN. Thank mom and dad, family, friends and everyone who helped you be so amazing.

Notes/Reminders for Feb. 21-22
1. Great rehearsal today. Thanks for your focus and for working together throughout the day.
2. High School Students-Friday's rehearsal is 3-6. The following performers will be adding mics for that rehearsal: Tyler, Maddie, Ben, Alec, Nathan, David G, Sam, Mariah M,Annie, Brandon
For Saturday
High School Cast-Report 9-5. Bring costumes and lunch.
Young Performers/Boys Band-Report 1-5. Bring costumes.
1. During Dress Rehearsal Week, we plan to be done with the young cast at 8:00 each evening. Parents can wait in the large commons to pick up children each evening. We will have high school cast members escort them out each night as close to 8 as possible. Please bear with us if we run over. We are having a new sound system installed in the auditorium on Monday and Tuesday, so unforeseen problems may arise. Please do not come into the auditorium, as this is a distraction for orchestra, techs and cast.
2. Young performers can bring homework to work on, even handheld, electronic games (if they have them) which can be played on mute. They can also bring coloring books, drawing materials, books to read...anything that they can do quietly during a show. They will be able to watch the performance from the auditorium during dress rehearsals and on a live feed during the performances.
Since they appear at the end of the show, Boys Band will need to remain for the full rehearsal each evening We will instruct them to call for rides about 30 minutes before we believe we will be done, and they can meet parents in the commons as well (unless they are riding with a high school cast member).
For Dress Rehearsal Week/Performance Week
1. Dinner 4:15/4:30 Monday-Thursday. High school students should do hair prior to dinner each day and all make-up (except lips) on Wednesday.
2. Mic check will be done at 5:30 during dress rehearsal week. That means mic is already on and performer ready prior to 5:30. On performance nights, mic check will be at 6:30.
3. No performers may be in the commons or auditorium in costume after dinner (except for mic check). You will not use the commons bathrooms. The audience should never see a performer prior to a performance. It takes away from the magic of live theatre and is never done by professional performers.
4. Performers should clean up dressing spaces each evening prior to leaving. That means all costumes hanging up and all accessories put in tubs. Counters should be cleaned off, and no costumes should ever be laying on counters in dressing rooms where make-up/water/spirit gum can be spilled on them.
5. Performers will be assigned dressing spaces by the directors. Bathrooms should be used minimally and never during quick changes.
6. Remember, no family or friends in the choir rooms, dressing rooms or music wing. Performers will meet their fans in the commons following the show. Extra bodies are a distraction and we do not have the space backstage for non-musical cast and crew. Cast members should be in the choir room, not band room prior to show. Orchestra members need their space and have a different focus before a performance.
7. No food or drink (besides water) in the music wing beginning on Saturday. A spill on a costume could ruin your costume or someone else's. Do not eat or drink (anything except water) while wearing your costume. Any such food or drink will be discarded by the directors. If you want to have gummy bears, those are fine.
8. Dress rehearsals will go on until we are done. We never like to keep our cast late, and our run time as been excellent thus far; however, with the addition of a new sound system and the typical surprises, we expect performers to stay until rehearsal is over. We try to let them know about 30 minutes out if they need to call for rides, but please be supportive of our expectations. A great show requires so many details to all fall into place, and this doesn't happen magically. It is our attention to the details. In the past few years, most nights we were done by 9, especially on Tuesday and Wednesday, but it could be later. Get as much homework done on Sunday afternoon and evening as possible.
NEED HELP
Thanks to Sarah Beth Taylor for agreeing to decorate the commons for our shows. If you are willing to help her, please let us know. The commons can be decorated on Wednesday evening during our dress rehearsal.
We still need one adult to supervise the young performers on Thursday evening. All other performances are covered.
The Music Man is almost here! It's going to be an amazing show.
