*Cast upon Contengency – There needs to be music to this.  I was told that Mr. Potts was working on this with you girls; however, this needs to be provided at the first rehearsal.  If you accept, please know that I will make a final decision when it comes to music – whether singing with a track, the original track, or acepella.  I also need to see everyone in their show costumes – as you said they were delayed in shipping.  Also, I want to help stage this number with the singing and dancing.
