FAME is really starting to heat up this month! We still have quite a while before the performance dates and things are already starting to come together. Students know their lines and songs on time, and sets and costumes are coming together beautifully. This is going to be a fantastic show! This month we start longer rehearsals on Wednesdays. Given that we only meet once a week to rehearse the show, I’d like to give out a few reminders to parents and students:
Absences: Students are expected to attend all FAME rehearsals. FAME meets Mondays for tech, and Wednesdays for performance. If a student is absent from school due to illness the student is automatically excused from FAME. Planned absences must be cleared with the director before the date of the absence.
Students are also expected to stay at the rehearsal for the entire time. Students who need to leave early must clear this with the director before the day in question. Parents are welcome to come in quietly to observe rehearsal if they arrive before the pick-up time.
Schedule for February:
Mondays: Tech continues to meet Mondays from 3:00-4:30. We will not be extending tech hours this month.
Wednesdays: Performance begins its extended hours this month. We now run from 3:00-5:00 to accomidate the complex songs and choreography. All students must remain in rehearsal from 3:00-5:00. Most actors have down-time when they are not used on stage and are welcome to work on their homework during this time.
