I can honestly say that the time spent rehearsing for this show has FLOWN by. This is such a wonderful group of kids. I especially loved watching our older youth mentor and witness to our younger children. It is something I will remember long after the close of the show.
A couple of things: If your child has an iPod, iPad, Andriod Phone, iPhone--or you have any of those devices please reply to this email. Chris, our tech director, has an amazing idea for one of the musical numbers. For it to work, we need a handful of these devices. In addition to the physical presence of the devices the following conditions must be in order: 1. device is charged 2. your child understands how to unlock the device 3. The free app "Wham City Lights" must be downloaded and ready to go on the device. 4. the owners name should be put on masking tape and attached to the device so we can be sure to get it back to you safely. **kids will not have access to them except for the musical number that we need them for. We need 4-8 iPads, and 6-10 iPod/iPhones. For those that can help, there will be a special meeting from 3:30-4:00 on Sunday. Sunday's Preview Performance: We will perform "Ring-Ring-a-Ling" (1950's) for the 9:45 service in full costumes with our set. This performance includes our older kids. We will only perform at the 9:45 service. Call time for those included in this preview performance is 8:15. "Why so early?" I can already hear you thinking. The praise band must also practice, but we want to both go through our number a couple of times with mics, sound, and lights; AND then we will need to put our costumes on and do our hair and makeup. Because we also have to ready our costumes, etc, it seemed most logical to have the HP kids practice before the praise band. If you are not going to be in attendance, I need to know ASAP so I can be adjusting before Sunday morning arrives. At the conclusion of the performance children will change back into their regular clothing and then can either head to the refuge or rejoin you in the service. Sunday's Rehearsal: From 1:30-3:30 I need only the kiddos in the 1980's and the 1990's. Those numbers seem to need the most work. From 3:30-6:00, I need kiddos who have speaking lines, dancers, or solos only. Everyone else should get some rest. Here it is in a list format: 1:30-3:30 Children in the 1980's and the 1990's. 3:30-6:00 Only those with speaking parts, solos, or dance moments. <TECH REHEARSAL> Monday's rehearsal schedule: 9:00-2:00 DRESS REHEARSAL. All Cast and Crew **Please pack a lunch. On Monday, we will run through the entire show with all of the costume changes. Children must bring all costume pieces. Call time for the performance is 4:45. Please arrive with hot rolled, clean hair and basic beauty makeup (for girls). Don't forget to pack a brush and mascara (if you weren't able to put it on at home). 6:00 Vocal Warm-Up in Wilson Chapel. 6:30 the Peformance Begins.
