Hello from your WAC director!
I just wanted to follow up to Amy's email to send out a big thank you in advance for all of you and your children's hard work. From a director's standpoint, putting on a talent show is completely different than putting on a play or a musical. I think each of you will not only LOVE your student's individual acts but also appreciate the entertainment value of other acts, as well as some of our Saturday Night Live references. This show is a bit different than years past (and I promise, it will be shorter!), but I encourage you to come out and support your child, as well as lend a hand or two backstage.
How wonderful it has been to have over 120 students involved in this production! But with that, there comes several responsibilities. In order for me to interact with the kids from a director's standpoint, I need as many parents as possible to pull this off! If you have been involved with the play or musical this year (or even were just an audience member), it is obvious that the only reason both of these shows were successful was due to the help we received from our parent volunteers. Thank you in advance!
I also wanted to encourage you to encourage your students to have fun on stage! Everyone needs to come towards the audience on stage and soak up this limelight. It is their three minutes of fame!! The issues that we have had with kids not cleaning up and/or not being where they need to be have been minimal; however, the severity of this needed to be addressed. The majority of the students involved know where they need to be and do a great job -- thank you for your dedication. Please just be conscious of your surroundings and make sure to show your WMS pride and character regardless of where you are in the building. WMS has some great students, and I am thankful to have had the opportunity to spend the last few weeks with your children.
Please continue to check the blog, as another email will not be sent out. Also, don't forget to buy your I LOVE WY t-shirts! Please encourage your child to wear these tomorrow -- our opening night!!
I will see all of the Act 2 kids tonight, ready to go at 4:30.
Thank you,
Miss Cindy Wilmes
