Tech Rehearsal 4/21

To The Amazing Westlake Dance Company-

We've got a big day coming up tomorrow so everyone needs to make sure they get a good night's rest so we aren't at each other's throats by the end of the evening. :-)

Dress rehearsal is starting at 2:30 sharp. We will go until around 7 pm. BRING SNACKS. Don't plan on a dinner break. Have something small you can snack on in between dances. Your hair needs to be done. You don't have to have your makeup done. Full costumes.

So.

COSTUMES:
BASKETS are DUE from everyone tomorrow morning at 7:15! Ladies, look over your dances and see what you'll need. I'm bringing a nude top and bottom, and then wearing a black tank top, black shorts, and black leggings over those. Make sure you have each of those pieces. NO BRA STRAPS.
Here is the list again. Go through, and if it is not on the hangers already at school, then you are responsible to bring it for tomorrow.

If you have more questions you can ask me. 

Choreographers you need to be PREPARED. You will only have about 15 minutes to get all three lighting cues set and to run your piece with them. Have them ready!! 

DANCERS: In order for tomorrow to run smoothly, we need absolute positivity, responsibility, respect, and hard work. Keep yourself hydrated, fed, and happy. Your mom won't be there! Everyone needs to be at the top of their game! Any questions, as always, ask me!

See you at 7:15!!

4/20-4/24

Hello my dear dance company,

Here are just a few items of business that we need to take care of this week!

SENIORS: We need a short bio about you for our concert. Please include your name, officer position if applicable, how long you've been with the company, what your plans are after high school, and anything else you would like the audience to know about you. Email those DUE TUESDAY to Chelsea at cbudge@alpinedistrict.org. Any questions, you can ask me.

CHOREOGRAPHERS: You need to decide on your lighting cues for our full dress and tech on Tuesday. You may have three lighting cues. Please know what time they are in your music and what color gels you would like to be displayed on the cyc. If you want the black curtain, we need to know that as well. Please have this written down and ready to go.

EVERYONE: I need everyone's favorite memory from WDC this year written out and emailed to me DUE FRIDAY. This is just a little thing to go next to your action shot on the display table at the concert. Please keep it to a couple of sentences. :) My email is lexie1221@gmail.com
Example:

"This is Lexie Treu. She is a senior this year on WDC. Her favorite memory is spending over an hour writing this dang blog post for her company. She loves writing these and prays that her company reads them"  ;)

I still need $6 from Abbie Thornley, Holly, Alli, and Michael.
Also, if you didn't attend our social please come talk to me because there is something we need you to do. :)

STILL EVERYONE: SECRET BUDDIES

Our theme for these is taking care of the mind, body, and soul. How adorable is that?

Chelsea has a list of who has who so make sure you take this seriously!! NO excuses. Here are the themes for the days.

4/27 MENTAL MONDAY- mad libs, sudoku, word searches, puzzles, crosswords etc.

4/28 TUMMY TUESDAY- Snacks and drinks and treats to keep people happy, healthy, and hydrated through our full dress rehearsal.

4/29 WARM HEARTED WEDNESDAY- Care package: include things like bandaids, fuzzy socks, treats, lotions, anything to help your buddy pamper themselves for CONCERT DAY.

4/30 THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY- Write your secret buddy a nice note wishing them good luck and encouraging them for the concert. Also, bring a single flower for them, or a treat for the boys, to say good luck. At call time you will give them their note and flower and that's when they will find out it is you.

***THIS is so important!! It helps us to build unity as a company. Everyone deserves to be taken care of. You MUST give them something EACH day. Not everything on the last day. No exceptions. It is extremely rude and sad if someone doesn't receive a gift, so don't let that happen. If you need help with this for whatever reason, please call me and I will be more than happy to help.

Friday morning after the concert we will be watching movies in Dance Co. We wanted to see if anyone's parents would be willing to do breakfast for that. So ask your parents if any of them would want to make pancakes or bring breakfast at 7:45. 

IMPORTANT DATES

ASAP- $6 from some of you.

4/21 - Seniors Bio's due. FULL DRESS, hair and makeup, costumes from 2:30-7 Choreographers have lighting ready.

4/24 - Favorite WDC memory from this year to Lexie.

Remember A days at 7:15 sharp! Everybody needs to be on top of their game this week and be nice and responsible so nothing goes wrong.

AS ALWAYS call me with any questions, concerns, worries, and anything else you may need. Love you guys always!

Lexie

Hi guys, Please try to bring your $6 tomorrow. We need that ASAP. Chelsea is coming back tomorrow after school! Please be to class at 7:15 tomorrow morning. Our pieces are looking good, but we need that final push!!

If you have ANY thing from the costume closet we need it back NOW! There are 2 pairs of black  joggers missing, a ballet dress, and lots of navy blue hot shorts. Also, Mateiah is missing her WDC sweats, so everyone please look through your things for those.

Last thing, Chelsea needs a baby picture for the slideshow from each of us either emailed to her or brought in to be scanned DUE FRIDAY. Please make sure you get this done.

We will be checking up on posters tomorrow as well. 

Brecca, Kenzie, and Taylor's piece is tomorrow after school, Kenna's is on Thursday. Please be prepared and on time! We'll see you in the morning!

Much love,

CONCERT MONTH

WDC-

I hope you had a wonderful spring break my dear friends! It is time to get back in the studio and get to work!! Our concert is in 16 DAYS!

So, on to business.
1) Your posters MUST be hung up by tomorrow after school, no exceptions!
2) Tomorrow class starts at 7:15 sharp! Hair up, ready to go.
3) No one is allowed to miss practices OR leave practices early until concert. We have been more        than lenient, but with our concert so close it is no longer acceptable, so please don't ask. This is our last opportunity to clean before tech rehearsal.
4) I need everyone to start bringing their $6 to me to go towards you-know-what. The surprise for Chelsea. Speaking of, someone please remind me to elaborate on this tomorrow.

WE will also be assigning secret buddies for concert on Saturday so you have plenty of time to get those together. Brecca please also remind me to talk about Vista, Frontier, and Blackridge Elementary.

I think that's all for now! Be ready to work so hard so we can make this the best concert yet!
I love you all very much.
