One More Week!

Hooray!  The week of performance is HERE!  Below, find the schedule for intense rehearsals.  Our first day on the stage is this Sunday because the Connections Band has to have time to get their stuff off the stage after Sunday Worship.  If you see them, please thank them for taking most of their stuff off and allowing us to use the stage.  It is a real pain for them to schedule a take-down and put-up.  Also, thank Max Shores in advance for doing our sound at dress rehearsal and performance.  As an Emmy award-winning professional, he normally would be paid hundreds to do what he's doing for us free of charge.  Thank him as well.

Wednesday Oct 12  5:30- 6:20 Regular Rehearsal 5:30-6:00, Staging 6-6:20 (Putting kids in performance places)

Why so many practices? 
1) Most of them don't completely know lines, songs, and entrances.
2)  We have not been able to do any staging because we can't have the stage until this Sunday.  Knowing where to go and when to go there is HALF of acting. Your children have to learn HALF of their job IN THREE DAYS.
2) When you change ANYTHING, you forget what you knew previously.  They may know their lines cold right now, but when they change location, they will forget them briefly. Because the Connections home is the stage, we have only three days on it.

We will not have practice on Sundays again until November and only if we need it.  We will begin practicing for Share the Warmth (2 songs) on Wednesday, October 26 at 5:30 PM as usual.  Don't worry about forgetting music, words, or CD loss.  It will come back to us.

Share the Warmth is Sunday December 4 at 6PM.  Kids need to wear Christmas shirts and jeans for that.

After Share the Warmth, we will have a week off with no practice on December 6.  Then on Wednesday, December 14th, we will have a Preview Party at 5:30 for the Spring Musical so you can all get fired up and get your friends to come practice with us in January!

See you all tomorrow at 5:30!!!!
