FIVE WEEKS TILL OPENING NIGHT!!

Hi Everyone,

Rehearsal schedule below for this week.  Plan on dance/movement/choreo brush up for much of the week PLUS music review.  Additionally -- we will be having the lighting and sound advisors in this week working with us.  This is getting VERY exciting!!!!

Saturday Tech was a dream.  I said to Jake that the hum of productivity was music to my ears! Literally EVERYONE was engaged in really important and beautiful executed work.  

• COSTUMES look amazing -- June, Lia and Mrs. Sullivan and her crew were busy busy busy -- this is such a HUGE costuming job and I couldn't ask for a better crew!
• SET: Jeff, Warren and Mr. Valley have done an INCREDIBLE job with set pieces and props -- including a gorgeous Argentinian sun set piece, a two story deck with revolve, and a gorgeous and realistic bank of vintage microphones. 
• LIGHTING: Mike and Anna and Emily worked on Spotlight operating practice -- they'll have lots to do for this show!
• PROPS: Paige, Peggy and Christa and the props crew had detailed props spreadsheets   the set is up, an AMAZING revolve was completed by two students (Connor and Marisa) who are completing their Capstone project.
• TECH MEALS -- delicious, as usual, and many thanks to Mrs. Malafronte and Mrs. Vanacore
• SPECIAL GUEST STARS -- This week, we were joined by Mr. Hackett (Tech Ed department chair), Mr. Searles, Mr. Teasdale, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Bottiger, Mrs. Valaitis, Ms. Liberman and Mrs. Camarco.  I can't even begin to tell you how much I love seeing parent and teacher volunteers working with us!
•   MANAGEMENT -- and, as usual, Jake and his ASMs Riley and Emily continue to be incredibly valuable assets to this entire crew.  Their knowledge of the show and what needs to be done and when is absolutely crucial
• THE ORCHESTRA -- Mr. Gahm and the Orchestra crew came in to practice and sounded AMAZING!
• THE CAST -- I felt like we got SO much done today.... Thank you for your patience and willingness to collaborate.
