What do I need to bring to Sunday rehearsals?
·         All students should bring a water bottle.
·         Middle School cast and crew should pack a lunch and drink for Sunday (starting February 21st we will have pizza available for those that wish to purchase lunch).
·         Please bring a sweater/sweatshirt as it is sometimes cool in the gym. Make sure your sweater is labeled.
·         Athletic or character shoes (no boots or open toe shoes)
·         Snacks will be provided for all cast and crew. (Please remember snacks are provided only on Sunday rehearsals, all participants are encouraged to pack and bring a snack during the weekday rehearsals (T,W, TH rehearsals).

Where do I go and how do I pick up from a Sunday rehearsals?
·         Drop off begins at 15 minutes before call time. If you arrive before these times, please have your student wait with you in your car as we are setting up the rehearsal spaces and have no supervision available for the children before this time.
·         The entrance for play rehearsal at the middle school is located around the back of the school at the gym doors by the playing field. Please take the side stairwell of the school by the playing field down to the gym doors located at the back of the school.
·         Should you arrive more than 10 minutes after call time or need to pick up early, you will need to come around to the back of the gym, to pick up your child and sign your child out.
·         For Sunday pick up you will not need to leave your cars, as we will come up to the carpool lane for carpool as a group. Please form a single file line in our carpool lane for pick up.
