Performance Choir Class is now the Annual Fund Dinner Class-   Parents- we have several students missing after school practices for various appointments, please try and schedule appointments for after school Mon, Tues or Fridays...we need kids at practice.  Please remember if students miss more than 5 practices they will have to bow out of the show.  

*Off book!  All students should be off book-meaning they have their lines memorized.  They will need to bring scripts to take notes and practice unmemorized music. 


Starting in March practice will be on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3:00-4:30.   We are focusing on "Be our guest", Human Again.  We need help with costumes, if students in their roles can come up with ideas and provide their own, that would be great!  Let me know if you have any questions!
