Please arrive at least 10-15 minutes prior to rehearsal so that you can warm up, help move tables and be ready to begin on time.  Bring scripts if you have them, and pencils to make notes in them.  Please email Mrs. Tate (ktate@rockingham.k12.va.us) if there is any reason that you will not be present.  

Wear layered, comfortable clothes that you can move in and shoes that you can dance in (tennis shoes are fine).  Don't wear flip flops or shoes with slick bottoms.

Rides should be waiting at 5, as we will finish on time.  Have a great day and see you tomorrow:)
