Costumes
Parents, we will be giving you more detailed information about costumes after we have met this week, but to get us started we are looking for some costumes so please look at Costumes Needed for The Drowsy Chaperone, especially if you child is a reporter so you can see pictures of what we need.

Musical Committees
Emails are going out about committees so if you signed up to be on a committee, please check your email. We are meeting this week to discuss costumes, set, Stargrams, and gifts. There are still some openings so please be sure to sign up, if you have yet to select a committee.

Musical T-Shirts
Mrs. Whiting is over T-shirts and could use some help. If any of you could sign up on our SignUpGenius that would be great so we can get these shirts done and out to the cast ASAP. Thank you!
