Spring break info - not a comment grade


Just to refresh everyone’s memory I’ve included the information I sent to everyone in the fall. Several parents are concerned about spring break and I understand because I’d like to get out of Dodge myself J Instead of the 16th, 17th, and 18th, we will be rehearsing on the 17th and 18th.  JV baseball has a game at 10 AM and we have one student involved.  There is no track meet or anything else scheduled.  We will rehearse Saturday, March 17 from 4 until 10 in costume.  We may let them out early.  We will provide dinner for the kids.  We will then again rehearse Sunday, March 18 at 2 on stage in costume. Bi- district will be in Tulia with official rehearsal on the 23rd and contest on the 24th. Our practice schedule will be mixed up because we have district academic contest that week so many of my kids will be practicing for those.  That contest is the 21st.  We will also have track and baseball. I know it will have only been a week (spring break), but it will be like starting over.  Lines, cues, blocking will have been forgotten.  It is usually a retraining rehearsal.  The only date that has changed below is the regional contest.  It has always been the Thursday and Friday prior, but the contest is on Monday.  We will look at travel, etc. as we cross that bridge.  Please stress to your children that we cannot lose any costumes, and the best way to do that is to hang them in the dressing room as they have been instructed – hats, hankies, and all. Our crew kids and there are more of them than actors have been amazing.  You can’t help but look at our set with amazement.  And to think that I now have a seamstress – Kristen Alexander – how lucky am I?   Thank you again for sharing your children with us.  We are fortunate. I do need a parent runner  when we travel in case we forget something.   Please call, text or email with concerns or suggestions.

Subject: OAP
Importance: High

Dear parents,
Sorry for the millionth email.   I may not have made myself clear.  Students have three unexcused absences (grandparent’s birthdays, family dinners, etc.)   Three tardies = one absence. Most of the students who have been with OAP since they were younger know this has been my rules from day one.  If you are new, these dates were in the packet.

These dates are non-negotiable.  If your child/children will not be in town on these days, he/she does not need to audition for a part and my still be with the group as a crew member or alternate.  Theatre is like a sport.  If the coach tells you  to be at a practice, most students adhere to a coach’s request. 
January 22 – here with Freida
February 15 – Lou in Post
Perry Crafton  FEBRUARY 1 8:30 is the tech time and 9-11 in Tulia
Rehearsal March 16 & or 17 & March 18 of Spring Break  - we have a contest the week before springbreak and do not have time to put in place the suggestions of the judges.  Also, students lose about one week of rehearsal and return to regular practice forgetting lines.  We have ground to make up.  Once again, if your child will miss any of these dates, he/she should not audition.

District contest March 5 and 8th Here
Bi District March 23 & 24 Tulia
Area March 28 & 29 - Seminole
Region April 16 Abilene
State OAP - April 23-25, 2018 & May 3-5, 2018 Austin

Thanks,
Cindy
