Slide3Musical Fees – how much does it cost and when is it due?
Fees pay for costumes, cast t-shirts, and rehearsal snacks
Total of $60 due by performance time – it can be paid all at once
The ”Musical Participation” Fee is due by September 30 - $20 paid to the office
There are two costume fees of $20 each; one due by October 31, the second by November 22
This fee is normal for participation in a musical or play
Most producers of musicals and plays do not have enough, if any storage for a gluttony of costumes
Each show requires a different look so stockpiling is next to pointless
Problems with paying? Please see Mr. Stephenson or Mr. C as soon as possible to work out other arrangements
Slide4Attendance –
When does my child need to be at rehearsals and what happens if they need to miss
ALL ATTENDANCE QUESTIONS OR ISSUES NEED TO GO THROUGH MR. C!!
There is a difference between “EXCUSED” and “UNEXCUSED” absences
Any rehearsal conflicts listed on the audition form, plus a very small amount of emergency unexpected absences, are “EXCUSED”
Reminders to Mr. C before the absence are helpful
They do not count against the Allowed Absence Total
Any other absence, no matter the reason, is an UNEXCUSED absence.
Each student is allowed 5 (FIVE) UNEXCUSED absences (Allowed Absence Total)
After 5 unexcused absences, the student is dropped from the show
A last minute unplanned absence explained away by an email does not make it EXCUSED
Leaving early or arriving late also counts against the Allowed Absence Total
Slide5More Attendance
During final production month (January) and on every mandatory rehearsal listed, all absences become UNEXCUSED, even if they were originally listed or notification was given
Missing school but showing up at rehearsals = THIS CANNOT HAPPEN EVER
ALL ATTENDANCE ISSUES MUST GO THROUGH MR. C!!
Slide6ACADEMICS –
TOO TIRED TO DO HOMEWORK :`(
Academics come first. No excuses
Rehearsal days and times shifted to allow teacher/student interaction
Grade checks
Failing grades may lead to dismissal from the musical
Slide7Volunteers – how can I help?
Every family of a participating child (including stage crew) is expected to donate 6-10 hours
Set building, painting, sewing costumes, prop acquisition and tracking, publicity, REHEARSAL AND PERFORMANCE SUPERVISION (MOST IMPORTANT)

Volunteering does not necessarily mean babysitting.
