Rules for Practice

A few rules you'll need to know before practice on Thursday:


As a reminder, go around to the back of the building and enter through Door #20.  It will open at 11:45, so don't come before that.


Absolutely NO FOOD will be allowed in the building while we are practicing.  (You may bring in water bottles if you are very careful with them.)


NO ONE is allowed to touch the sound system.


No running around in the auditorium, climbing on the seats, or running around outside.


I know this is going to be very different from the Mielke, but you're a great bunch of kids and I know we'll all be able to adjust.  If we all stay focused on being in 'performance mode' we won't even notice the rules.


We're heading toward the home stretch.  I'm very anxious and excited to see Act One again - it seems like it's been forever since we've done it.  Mrs. Kluge gave some excellent advice on Thursday.  Work on running through the whole act ahead of time.  Clear an area in your home so you can actually walk through where you'll be standing in each scene.  Visualize what action is going on around you.


Remember, our goal is to run through Act One twice on Thursday.  The first time, we'll probably have lots of stopping and starting as we make sure everyone is in position.  The second time, we'll try to run straight through.


And, again, Door #20!

Thanks for letting us know about not bringing food. I would've broken that one straight away.
