"Arf!" Reminders

We're less than 2 weeks away from showtime! The students are rehearsing during music class, and the students with speaking parts are rehearsing after school 3 times a week. I know the hard work will pay off!
Here are a few reminders as the big day approaches:

1. Please make sure you are putting together your child's costume. I know that sweat suits aren't as common as they used to be; but both Walmart.com and Hanes.com have some inexpensive options. Also, if you already have access to a solid brown, black, gray, or white shirt or pants, please use them. T-Shirts with words even be worn inside out for the show. I am more than happy to look at any costume items, if your child brings them in or you send me a picture via e-mail.

2. I have ordered dog ear headbands for our students to use during "Arf!" If you haven't already, please send in a $1 to help with the cost of the "doggy ears".

3. If your child has a speaking part or solo, please have them practice, practice, practice. I would love for all of the lines to be memorized by Monday, March 21. It will be easier to work out staging once the students don't need their scripts. The CD sent home with all of the speaking scenes should help them learn their lines and have a sense of how their lines fit in the entire scene and show.

As always, thank you for your support! I'm very excited for our students to have this experience on stage!
