ALL TECH CREW KIDS ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO ATTEND REHEARSALS THIS WEEK. However, I will need you to sit and watch the show until your adult supervisor comes to rehearsal. This would be a great time to sit and make notes of costumes changes, scene changes, etc. This week is used for you to observe the show as we begin to run things.
With that being said, here is the break down of the tech side of things for rehearsals until our show opens:
TUESDAY: We are running rehearsal in stations. I will be cleaning scenes and choreography upstairs while dancing and vocals are being run downstairs. Tech crew does not need to be here tonight.
WEDNESDAY: I WOULD LIKE ALL TECH CREW KIDS ON WEDNESDAY. You will be able to meet with your stage manager and lighting crew. COSTUME TECH KIDS will be needed downstairs in the green room. We are planning on doing a costume run through on Wednesday. You will need to stay downstairs with your adult leaders to help with costumes.
THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY: These are rehearsals in which we will be running the show, but I will be stopping to clean things. Tech crew is more than welcome to join, but you will need to sit and watch the show. Therefore, you are not required to attend. We will not being doing costumes or make-up. Lights -- if you would like to come to start playing around with the lighting board, you are more than welcome to.
SHOW WEEK: TECH CREW NEEDS TO BE WITH YOUR TEAM LEADER during each rehearsal. For example, all students helping with costumes and make-up need to be with their respective costume/make-up adult leaders. LIGHTS AND SOUND will need to be in the back helping the lighting and sound crew. USHERS and CONCESSION students are welcome to meet with their adult leaders (if they are there -- your adult leader will email you on an individual basis if you are needed at rehearsal), but until our show opens, you will not be helping with these responsibilities. You are not required to attend until opening night but are more than welcome to come watch the show and be a part of our tech rehearsals.
Our tech crew is very crucial to the success of our show, but due to the amount of responsibilities that Miss Wilmes has, you will need to answer to your committee adult leaders. I also CANNOT have any students wandering the hall during rehearsals. You will need to either be in the green room with an adult or sitting in the auditorium. My tech crew kids are not an exception to the rule when it comes to staying in the auditorium and wandering the halls.
Thank you for being a part of our show! Please be patient as we are trying to work out each aspect of the technical side of the show.
