Thank you to everyone who came to strike the set and put everything away! We got it all done in record time. Also, shoutout to the students who made the girls' dressing room look the cleanest it has looked in years.
This is our last weekly update for The Drowsy Chaperone JR. We have our Cast Party tomorrow (after the St. Patrick's Day dance) from 3-4:30pm. We're eating pizza, singing karaoke, signing autograph books and more! All cast members and stage crew are invited to attend. Thanks again for all of your support and allowing your student to participate in this magical musical experience! "The arts make a bridge across this world in ways that nothing else can." - Julie Andrews Many thanks, The Drowsy Chaperone JR Musical Team Thank you for your incredible support of this year's musical! We are so proud of our students and the show they put together. There's just 2 more days for our musical that we want to make you aware of:
Tuesday, March 11
Post-Show Blues Once a musical is over, it is completely normal for actors to experience post-show blues. Please know that our school counselors are available for students to come talk to. Students don't need an appointment. There are also licensed counselors available 24/7 on the SafeUT app. Here is a great article about dealing with post-show blues. While this article is aimed at adult performers, it definitely is the best at articulating the feeling of post-show blues and gives great ideas you can suggest to your student during this transition time. Thank you again for letting your student be part of this year's musical! It's been such a joy to create this show with them! This is it- the week we've been waiting for! This cast is truly exceptional! They have been so dedicated and have worked hard to be ready for this week. It has been a joy working with your students this year. We can't wait to share with all of you this incredible show!
Rehearsal and Performances this Week Monday- 3/3
Lunch on Tuesday In between performances we'll be having our own special musical lunch. Ms. Dallimore asked for a count of those who will be eating school lunch. If your student missed that or has changed their mind, please let her know. Everyone else, please bring a sack lunch to school that day. We don't want students to order food for delivery as this puts a lot of work on our office staff to track down where the food goes. Concessions & Stargrams- cash only Please spread the word that concessions and stargrams is cash only. Auntie Rae's has partnered with us this year to provide some delicious concession pastries including a special pastry based on the song "Toledo Surprise". You will definitely want to try all the delicious treats so please be sure you bring some cash. Remember, all concession and stargram purchases go directly to our musical fund and help fund our musical next year. Cash Box Training All those who have volunteered to help with Ticket Sales, Stargrams, and Concessions need to have a 5-minute cash box training with our bookkeeper, Ms. Flanagan, prior to volunteering. Please contact Ms. Flanagan to set up a time (385-646-3701 or [email protected]). Still Need Volunteers We MUST have supervision in the dressing rooms for the school and elementary performances. If you are a licensed educator or counselor, please click on the dressing room help supervision and if you aren't a licensed teacher/counselor please click on the "hallway help" slot to sign up. Volunteer SignUpGenius We also could still use help with doing makeup/hair, ticket sales, Stargrams, and striking the set which will be after school on Tuesday March 11th. If you can help strike (take apart and put away the set) please bring drills if you have them and we will get started after school but realize many of you can't come until after 5pm and we will go until things are done. If you can do a basic bun or makeup, you can help us, and we could really use your help. Thank you so much for your assistance because we can't do this show without your wonderful help! Rehearsals this week Last week of rehearsals! Monday- 2/24
Illness This week we'll be making final adjustments to the musical so we really need every cast member present. However, if your student has a fever or is vomiting, please keep them home. If your student feels like they can wear a mask and sit at the back of the auditorium for rehearsal, please have them come. This will help them not miss anything. Missing Costume Pieces There are still some students missing shoes, tights, undergarments, etc.. Please have them bring it by Thursday. Double Dress Rehearsal Thursday Right after school students will eat dinner. We're having pizza! If your student can't eat gluten or dairy, please email us. After the dinner we'll dismiss students to go get ready. We want everyone to try their best to do hair and makeup for the dress rehearsal. If there are any parents that are willing and can come help out with hair and/or makeup on Thursday, please email Ms. Dallimore and let her know you're coming ([email protected]). We'll begin the dress rehearsal with the Wasatch Cast and then we'll do the whole thing again with the Upland Cast. Please be sure your student has bathed as this rehearsal is long and hot. Concessions We still have items needed for concessions. Sign up to donate on the Concession Donations SignUpGenius and bring donations to the Front Office by Monday, March 3rd. Concession sales go straight into our School Musical fund and help us continue to give students the school musical experience. Tickets Tickets are now on sale to the public! Please spread the word about the musical by using the images below to text/email your friends and family members.
Rehearsals this week
Monday- 2/17
Costumes Students need to bring their costume pieces and garment bag by this Thursday. Please be sure ALL items including the garment bag are labeled with your student's name. As I'm sure you can imagine, during the craziness of getting in costumes, sometimes things get misplaced and not put away. It's hard to know whose it is without a name on it. What does my student need to bring for costumes? Tickets Students will receive information regarding tickets this week. We've had technical difficulties with the online ticketing system and hope to have that resolved soon. Many thanks to our Ticket Committee for working through all the technical issues! Longer Rehearsals Please ensure your student has a snack and a water bottle as rehearsals are getting longer. This will help them keep up their energy during rehearsals. Rehearsals this week

There are specific makeup and hair requirements for different roles and groups. If you'd like to help out with makeup or hair, please sign up on the SignUpGenius to help out. Costumes All students have received their costume from our amazing costume committee. Please be sure to read what costume items you will need to provide. These are things like shoes, garment bag, socks/nylons, spanx and tank top. These items are needed for rehearsal on February 20th for the dress rehearsal stumble through. We want to make sure all costumes are complete before we take pictures the next day. Rehearsals this week
