4th Grade Musical Kick Off!

LT's 4th grade Musical is off and running.
Auditions are complete and lead character schedule and information was just sent home today. I am going to copy a portion of the information here, for anyone that needs a reference.

If your child is a part of the chorus, which is everyone accept the lead characters, more information will be sent ho near the end of October, following the completion of 5th grades Seussical production. The chorus will have a rockin' good time with their fun musical numbers, so don't worry.....we will all be taken good gare of in this production.

We will not start after school Lead Character practices until the week of Oct. 27th. I am including a schedule of when your child needs to be at rehearsal. With the value of time and gas, I don’t want children to have to be at rehearsal unless I am going to be working with their scene or number. I am dividing the actors & Actresses into 2 groups for ease in scheduling & planning. Rehearsals are until 4:00p.m.

Week 1) Oct. 27 & 30 Group 1 only
Week 2) Nov. 6th & 7th (Friday) Group 1 only
Week 3) Nov. 10th & 13th Group 1 only
Week 4) Nov. 17th & 20th Groups 1 & 2
Week5) Nov. 24th Groups 1 & 2
Week 6) Dec. 1 & 4th Groups 1 & 2
Week 7) Dec. 8th Group 1 & 2
Week 8) Dec. 15th & 18th Groups 1 & 2

Group 1:
Taylor, Gavin, Cason, Sydni, Tyler, Ellen, Kylee, Dalton
Group 2:
Rebeccah, Briann, Casey, Riley, Rhea, Ben, Tab, Maddie, Lauren, Mason


***Performance times will be:
Thursday Morning Jan. 15th 9:30 a.m.
Thursday evening Jan. 15th 7p.m.
During school PAC rehearsals will be Jan. 13th & 14th.
Lead Performers will need to arrive at 6:00 p.m.
ALL performances will be at The Hardin County performing Arts Center, located at John Hardin High School.

I am sending home scripts with some of the children over break. If you don't get a script, do not panic. I have no fear that we will all get our lines memorized. Our whole 4th grade is a talented group of students.

For now, that is the need to know info. for our 4th graders. We have been working diligintly in class and have read, sang, and worked through the script in class. We will begin choreography upon return from fall break!

Enjoy the week's vacation!
