JUNE 10, 2010 REHEARSAL INFORMATION

The rehearsal on Thursday, June 10th is a MANDATORY rehearsal and will begin promptly at 4:00pm. Our rehearsal is CLOSED to anyone other than our dancers and parent volunteers.

DANCERS MUST ATTEND THIS REHEARSAL IN ORDER TO PERFORM IN THE RECITAL!

***WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!***

TWO MOMS WILL BE NEEDED PER CLASS to help out backstage at the recital AND sit with the kids at the rehearsal. If you would like to assist backstage at the recital, but cannot make it to the rehearsal then please see Miss Mandie. Classes that have more than 10 dancers will need at least 3 volunteers.

It is our parent volunteers that help make our show such a success and keep our dancers looking their best!

We really like to try and have the same moms at the rehearsal that are working backstage. Two reasons: 1.) The kids (and parents!) will become familiar with who is helping them backstage by sitting with them at the rehearsal. 2.) Backstage moms will be able to see the show while assisting at the rehearsal.

PLEASE NOTE…Volunteers signed up before MAY 10th will receive $10 off their recital DVD AND a FREE recital t-shirt!!

COSTUME DISTRIBUTION is the week of May 10th.

Before your child’s costume can be taken home, all studio balances INCLUDING JUNE tuition must be paid. Please see the studio receptionist or your child’s instructor if you have questions about your remaining balance.

Also, please see the receptionist to check your EMERGENCY CONTACT INFO! Please make any necessary changes so that we have correct names and phone numbers for those dancers participating in the recital.

SAY “CHEESE!!”

Recital Thoughts
