Recital Rehearsal and Show Times
Rehearsal's
Sunday, May 15
It is very important that everyone attends this rehearsal. The backstage logistics are very different at this venue and will be difficult to maneuver if you are not at the rehearsal. This could be the difference of your child making it on stage in time for their performance!!
Show 1 - 9:30am
Show 2 - 11:00am
Show 3 - 1:30pm
**These are NOT dress rehearsals. Please wear RECITAL SHIRTS, ATHLETIC SHORTS/LEGGINGS, DANCE SHOES, AND COSTUME HAIR PIECES!!
Costume Rehearsals: Since our rehearsal at The Wildhorse is not a "dress rehearsal", students will need to wear costumes to class the weeks of May 2-13 to make sure costumes, tights, shoes, hair, etc. is correct.
Please refer to the dress rehearsal schedule that was emailed out. The schedule is also posted on the bulletin board at the main office.
All 5, 10, and 15 year students will receive their award at rehearsal. They will be introduced on stage right before the finale at the recital. Backstage space is limited and there is no place to put their awards for finale. This is to prevent their award getting broken or lost. Please give flowers/gifts after the show if you plan on doing so.
