Recital

Hey everyone!!! It is finally here. The recital is this Saturday. Here are a few things to know....

Rehearsal is this Saturday from 9:30 - Noon at Fort Herriman Middle School -14058 South Mirabella Drive (6200 West). Every child must have a parent or adult that is responsible for them for the ENTIRE rehearsal. Be there at 9:30 ready to go in the following costumes, if you feel confident you will be able to pull their hair off for the recital you do not need to have it done for rehearsal.

Costumes

4:00 class The Blue one

4:30 class The Pink one

5:00 class The Pink one

6:30 Class The Pink one

Bring your other costume ready to go and bring a towel or small blanket that your child knows and will recognize as theirs. It is to lay their costume out on backstage. Make sure your child's name is on EVERYTHING. In most classes we have 10 of things that are all the same size.

Call time for recital that night is at 5:30. This means your child is there ready to go in their appropriate costume with light makeup dropped off backstage at 5:30. The show starts at 6:00 sharp!!! Because our studio is small the recital is very short so don't be late. IF YOU ARE LATE YOU WILL MISS SOMETHING!!! Okay - let's review.....

  • Rehearsal 9:30 Fort Herriman
  • Bring a towel
  • Put your child's name on EVERYTHING
  • Call time for the recital is 5:30
  • Recital STARTS at 6:00
  • When you show up for rehearsal go to the auditorium and await further instructions

Umm...Did I mention that rehearsal is NOT OPTIONAL. Your child must be there. It is the only time they will be able to see the stage and be on the stage before they perform. It is also the only time the class has to feel the space of the stage as a group.

A word about hair....

4:00 & 4:30 class - buns - on the back of their head, not high, not low, straight back. Hair can be curly or smooth, but must be off the neck and not seen from the front. Talk to me at class if you need hair tips on how to get your child's hair up, back. If you are nervous try it for class on Tuesday. I would prefer bangs pulled back, but it is not mandatory.

5:00 class - I have talked to the girls and they know what they need. BOBBY PINS ARE A MUST!!!!

6:30 class - Part down the middle - two low side buns, smooth or curly.

And if you are still reading here is a final work about the recital....Use this time to build up your girls and make them feel special. They have all worked so hard to learn technique, build their bodies and memorize routines. Take them out after to dinner or ice cream. Make em' feel like a million bucks. They will remember it.

And last but not least...Our last class for the year is Tuesday the 19th. It is our party/bring a friend day so find a friend or family member - they can wear their costumes to class and bring them prepared to have a great time!!!
