Costumes, costumes, costumes...

If you have any fish hats or plush sea creatures that we can sew onto a hat and are willing to let us use them, please bring them in. We will return it unharmed.

We are in need of 6 princess dresses of various sizes. If you have one you think we could use, please bring it in and let us take a look at it. They can be generic princesses or ones such as Belle, Cinderella, etc. 

Tuesday, June 18 Report

We have had a very successful first two days of rehearsals.  These kids have really worked hard.  Each child has "homework" tonight.  The chorus is to look at "Under the Sea" and practice their part...especially "the newt plays the flute..." part.  Those with speaking parts need to go through their scripts and speak their parts.  Those with solos and special songs should work on those as well.  CDs should be going home Friday.
