Recroding Session Thursday 11:30-12:00

We are having problems hearing the chorus on "Under the Sea" and "Kiss the Girl", so we will be pre-recording the chorus parts for those songs tomorrow 11:30-12:00 to reinforce the sound. We can use any campers who know these songs-even those not in those not on stage for these songs. If your child can stay for this recording session tomorrow, please let us know by sending a note with your child tomorrow.  If we don't have your permission, your child will not stay. Thanks

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.

FINAL WEEK NEWS

Hooray! (That's an interjection, by the way). we ran the show twice this morning and the 2nd time was beginning to get there!  Great job, kids! Remember to review your written scripts and songs to make sure you are really saying/singing the correct words!

Next week's schedule:
TUESDAY-Regular camp times.  Wear HAMS shirts.
Bring all show clothing and leave it all at HHS- except camp shirt and possibly shoes.

After the 7:00 show, performers should take all their personal clothing/props home with  them.

A Word About Costumes

 The camp shirt will be the base of the costume.

The bright colored t-shirt will go over top of the camp shirt, so be sure that it covers the camp shirt.  Remember- no blue or red.

The white shirt needs to be one that we can paint a large black letter or two (blood type) on.  It should be slightly larger-like a night shirt.

Remember the black shorts to finish out the costumes.  Gym shoes that are clean and in good shape or jazz shoes.  Short socks.

Circulation girls will wear their short sleeve or sleeveless leotard under everything.  Color doesn't matter as it will never show.
