COSTUME SIZING FORMS NEEDED ASAP FOR SEVERAL MS THESPIANS!!!

Dear MS Thespians and Parents,

I need your help please!!! With only three weeks until the show, costume orders must be placed no later than Monday in time to arrive, decorate and tailor.  I am missing approximately 10 forms still from the MS cast/crew, please make sure to help expedite this process by filling out the sizing form  to the side of this post, located underneath important documents!!!

If you are not sure if you have submitted one please either email me or submit another form, better to have two on file than none on file!

Thank you so much for your help with this.

Ms. Kendrick

CREW CALL TIMES for Sunday the 16th & Monday the 17th

Our Amazing Crew,

Sunday the 16th 12pm-4pm is OPTIONAL for crew since we have just added this rehearsal. There will   only be about 2.5 hours of work to tend to this day since we are making up rehearsal time lost due to the storm.

Monday the 17th crew may report  anytime from 10 am to 5 pm.   You will  need to bring your scripts as we will try to get through one walk through of cue to cues and look for running crew needs. There will be organizing and tons of prep work to tend to for decorating and set up needs. Also, I will need crew to film dances and songs to post to the blog to which all cast members may rehearse songs/dances at home. :)

Make sure you have filled out a sizing form as well for your running crew shirts! The form is located to the right under important documents.

Bring extra drink, snacks, a pencil, and your script!

Thanks!

Ms. K

WILLY WONKA "FROZEN" UPDATES!

Greetings Wonkians,

I hope you all have stayed safe and warm these past few days and enjoyed frolicking in the snow, drinking hot chocolate, sleeping in and of course, working on your school work!

I changed my name to Anna, and sang Do you want to build a Snowman and Let It Goooooo!!!!!! Perhaps Frozen would have been a really good show choice for this year? :)

To the right under important documents and in the honor of our "Frozen" weather, you will find the a revised WW MS FROZEN SCHEDULE UPDATED 2.13.14. This includes the addition of Sunday February 16 rehearsal from 12-4 and an earlier call time Monday which now begins at 10 am.

A revised WW LS SCHEDULE has also been updated and posted under important documents.

Please note all changes to the schedule are noted in purple and turquoise "ink".

REMINDERS FOR MS:

• DAILY REVIEW:
• ALL Thespians please remember to practice your choreography, songs, and lines at home DAILY for at least 15 minutes, be sure to review any blocking or character notes as well.
• A NOTE  FOR MS THESPIANS ABOUT TIME MANAGEMENT DURING REHEARSALS:
• What's our rehearsal mantra and the #1 rule of performing arts rehearsals? "Don't waste time, don't waste time, don't waste time!"
• Remember that every minute counts at rehearsals and no one should be saying they have nothing to do, or are just sitting around and waiting. While we do give you down time to have snack and lunch, outside of these times you should never be "just sitting around" or "doing nothing". Our show depends on the efforts of close to 200 students coming together to perform a show and naturally "downtime" is a part of any rehearsal whether theatre, ballet, music, film, etc... when working on a show and blocking scene by scene. However, we have multiple rooms/groups working at any given time so please read below every carefully as Thespians you are responsible for your rehearsal time!
• As we have discussed at every rehearsal, you should be working with me, Mr. Bromberg, Mr. Michek, or with your group/scene partners on your dances, lines, and blocking.  Although we are getting closer to our performance goals every day, no one has perfected any of our dances so there is always something on which to work. :)
• We also encourage you to manage your time doing your homework as well when your scene is not be worked on in the three rooms.
• If you have any questions about this, please come speak with me directly at any time!!! 
• BRING WATER, EXTRA SNACKS, HW, SCRIPTS or NOTEPAD  on which to take blocking and notes re:your scenes and characters as rehearsal duration time increases and we draw closer to the show!
• Wear shoes in which you can dance and clothes in which you can move. 
• MS LADIES, if you play a "girl-mother-female" part please bring a skirt or dress to rehearsal so you can practice your movements/dances in clothing similar to your costume. Clothes definitely change the way we move.
• Shoes, accessories, tights/socks costume information will be released at the beginning of the week!

I am so incredibly proud of each and every one of you. Your commitment to the show, to each other, the leadership and mentoring with our LS cast, and our LS cast's amazing behavior and spirit. You "show" our Davis values each day at rehearsals and the 3 c's of 21st century learning: collaboration, communication, and creativity!  Go LIONS!!!

Looking forward to seeing MS Sunday and MS /5th grade Monday at all day rehearsals!!!

Here is to the "sweetest" show yet!

Hugs,

Ms. Kendrick 

Crew Times for Next Two Sunday Rehearsals

Crew should come at the same call times as ALL MS for the next two Sundays.  If a crew member would like to come in at early call time or stay late for late call time,  please  email me at kphillips@davisacademy.org so I can have tasks ready for you!

Crew will be receiving a separate crew schedule this Tuesday which will include specific times for  crew only meetings!
