Spring Performance 2015- Rehearsal schedule, Sign up Genius, DVD

Rehearsal Schedule:
Please see the below rehearsal schedule for our performance on Sunday, April 19th.  Please note that we are asking several classes to arrive at the same time and will be asking those classes to stay in Centennial Hall the entire allotted time slot so that we have some flexibility as to which classes are on stage at any given time. It is very important that all dancers attend and are on time for this rehearsal so that they are comfortable on stage- this rehearsal provides the dancers with a chance to practice their dance(s) without the use of the mirror which is quite important.  Missing dancers can also cause confusion for our young dancers. For your convenience, I have also attached it as a document along with costume notes for each class.

Show time! 

Upon arrival, dancers should come to the main entrance of Centennial Hall where we will check them in.  They should wear their regular dance class attire as costumes will be handed out during rehearsal. 

Signup Genius:
Here is the link to a sign-up genius for rehearsal and performance volunteers.  While we will have some Upper School helpers, we will certainly need additional volunteers throughout the day to help with checking dancers in as they arrive for rehearsal, watching them as they wait their turn in Centennial Hall, as well as backstage helpers for the entirety of the show.  As always, if you volunteer backstage, you may still come into the audience to watch your daughters dance. Please note the times for each category in the description field:

DVD order form:
Below is a link to form for ordering a dvd of the Spring performance.  Dvd's will cost $30 each and can be charged to your account or paid for by cash or check prior to the performance. Please fill out the form as soon as possible so that I have an accurate count for our videographer. I hope you will consider purchasing as it will allow you to enjoy the performance without watching through your phone. That being said, if you do not fill out the form, I will assume that you are not interested in purchasing which, of course, is perfectly fine as well.  


Uniform:
Finally, we are now working with a company, Curtain Call, which is a dance wear and costume company.  You will now be able to order your class uniform needs directly from them at a very reasonable cost.  For the remainder of this year, it is not necessary to do so but, next year, we are asking that all families use this website as the need arises for new dance wear.  The reason for doing this is that, since the girls often use pieces of their dance uniform for the performance, it will provide a uniform look on stage. To access our personal store, first click on the website below:


Once there, use the studio name "The Bryn Mawr School" and the password bmsdance1 to log in to our store. You should be able to navigate through the different classes and see what is required. Again, this is just an opportunity for you to see what it will look like.
