Hello to my wonderful cast and parents! I would just like to start off by saying how much I love this group of students. Every rehearsal I am amazed by the talent that each one of these performers has. However, we have been disappointed with the lack of concentration. To put it in perspective, we have 14 rehearsals left to put on a stellar show, and only 8 of those will we have a full cast. (Due to people missing as well as split up rehearsals for the next two weeks.) My intention for saying this is not to scare anyone or to cause unnecessary stress, but to help everyone realize how much time we have and hopefully push people to memorize and rehearse at home. By the end of this week, each group should have the song for their group. Aliens and Witches should have their song MEMORIZED (Izzy and Johanna please contact me.)
For Parents, Here Is A List Of Who Is What:
Vampires: Jett, Katherine, Kat, Jessica
Witches: Johanna, Sabrina, Izzy
Mummies: Seth, Noah, Parker
Aliens: Emmett, Nash, Lorenzoh
Production Team: Alice, Emma, Caleb, Annie, Caden, Anastasia, Ethan
Tech Monsters: Caden, Anastasia, Ethan (Part of the Production Team)
This is what rehearsals will look like for the next two weeks (this can also be found on the calendar here):
Monday, October 4th 7:15-9: Witches, Mummies: Choreo
Production Team (Shroud, Juliette, Laurent, Sunshine, and Tech Monsters): Blocking
Thursday, October 7th 6-9: Aliens, Vampires: Choreo
Production Team (Shroud, Juliette, Laurent, Sunshine, and Tech Monsters): Blocking
Saturday, October 9th 8:30-2: Everyone: Blocking/Choreo Review
Monday, October 11th: No Rehearsal Because of Willy Wonka
Tuesday, October 12th 6-9 Make-Up Artist Coming: Aliens, Mummies: Music/Choreo Review
Production Team (Shroud, Juliette, Laurent, Sunshine, and Tech Monsters): Blocking
Wednesday, October 13th 6-9 Make-Up Artist Coming: Witches, Vampires: Music/Choreo Review
Tech Monsters: Blocking
Then, for the remainder of rehearsals, EVERYONE IS CALLED.
Please note that we had a tentative rehearsal on October 22nd, however this is now a Full Rehearsal.
The directing team has also discussed the need to have one rehearsal over fall break. Though, I understand that some people have plans and trips, if possible I would like to have during the break, especially with the amount of people who will have missed rehearsals by then, or arrived late, this would be a necessary rehearsal. This is not a punishment, this is a tool to help you succeed. Please fill out this google form so we can decide which rehearsal time is best.
Finally, we would like to have pictures on Tuesday, October 12 at 4:15. These pictures/headshots are for our Full Time Apollo Members Only. Color Scheme: Navy Blues, Forrest Greens, Blacks, Browns, Cremes, and Mustard Yellows. Dress warmly, we want layers!! No shorts! Skirts are fine. Nice Jackets, sweaters, cardigans, etc. We will discuss more about this later. A location will be decided closer to time, however, it will likely be in Mantua. (Regardless of location, we will need parent drivers.)
Please don’t hesitate to ask questions. The best time to ask questions is IN PERSON 15 minutes before rehearsal OR right after rehearsal. All Full Time Apollo Members Must Be At Pictures.
Thank You Everyone,
Colton, Madi, and Sydnee
