Here is an email from our costume designer:
So, this is my last big email blast-I hope! First, if you are working this week as a hair and make up person or a costume person, please realize that you really are both! The kids may need help getting on their opening costume (lots of buttons, snaps, etc.) but they will all need to have make up and hair. When the show starts, they will need help with costume changes and slight make up touch ups. The cast is in 4 different locations. There are student helpers assigned to the pink, green and golden areas. The blue area (prop room) is all boys,
who only have 1 costume change. An adult should check on them. There will be a rack in each of the areas. The racks will be labeled for each kid.
At the beginning of the practice or show they should remove their costume from the garment bag, fold the garment bag and put it in their laundry basket and put their costumes on their section of the rack. At the end of the show the costume pieces should be hung on hangers and put back in the garment bag. Street clothes, small props, wigs, make up, back pack, water bottle, should go in the laundry basket which will be stacked and stored between shows. Everyone should be wearing their shoes this week and probably have their black pants and shirts.
The following are not for everyone, but read thru it in case it applies to your children:
If you are in Keep Em Guessin, you have a colored t-shirt in your bag.
If you are a featured dancer or an ancestor, you also are to wear the halter top.
Melissa-you have snaps on your long gown to help with costume changes and you have a different gown than you tried on. There is also velcro on the back of the neckline to hold the sash.
Sara-You have snaps on the long gown and the vest and a pair of red pants.
Janey-you have snaps on your dress
Adelaide-I added the snap and you now have a golden headband headpiece.
Allie-you have red pants
Also, the Ancestors have now been removed from the Emperor Scene so one
less costume change!
Elise-I put snaps on your dress for the last scenes to help with costume changes. I also adjusted the snaps and velcro on your kimono and added velcro to the back bow. But where does the kimono need to be kept for use in the scene?
Herbert-your headband is in your garment bag.
Maggie Hughes-your mother dress now has snaps. The fancy stuff does not even button, so just use the snaps!
Grayce and Quinn-neither of you has a boy costume in your bag for the
Draft scene. I will try and put something in there for you to be young
boys.
Huns-you all need swords. Molly Mariani knows where they are. Put your sword in your laundry basket (except Cooper-your is staning up with the sticks)
Chinese Army-Miss Cindy has not yet decided if you will need swords
Avalanche Scene-We will have to decide if you put the white robe over your chinese army costume or if there is time to change into your opening scene costume and wear it underneath the white robe.
I will be there on Wednesday for the entire dress rehearsal and get there as soon as I can on Tuesday evening. I cannot be there on Monday.
Break a Leg!! Ellen Kellogg
