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.

HAMS Time is Fast Approaching!

HAMS camp  starts Tuesday, June 12 at Bridgeport 9:00-11:30.  If you have not pre-registered your child we should still have spots available on the 12th.  We are all looking forward to a wonderful summer!  Don't forget a small snack (no fruit or sticky sweet food) and water.  And remember-gym shoes only.

Dress Rehearsal from Michael's Mom

H.A.M.S. Rehearsal Pictures

Clothing left behind

I have 3 white shirts (poodles)--Justice size 10, Justice size 14, Stylish Girls Place with sparkly dots size 10/.12.

I have 2 black shirts (scotties)  Cherokee, size M  and one for Madelyn Minton.

If you let me (McKee) know whose they are, I'll send it in the school mail to your school.

Opening Night

Great job!  Opening night was fantastic!  I give it a 9.5 out of 10.  (There's always room for improvement). I'm looking forward to a whole day with the pups!

Campers should be prepared to wear their Dalmatian shirt and shorts home after the 2nd show.

DVDs will be ready for pickup by parents at the front table-or I'll send them home with the camper.

I will also be giving everyone a CD of a song called "We Remember" which was specially written for 9/11 9 years ago.  We will add that to our performance on Sept.11.  Please practice it on your own.

Break a leg!

Fantastic!

Great dress rehearsal last night!  The video came out great, too. Remember, the cast has been told not to drink pop  on performance days.  It dries out the throat.  Stick to good old water.  We're all looking forward to putting on the show with a paying audience watching!

We will bring the kids back to the auditorium still in their costumes to allow parents to take pictures after the show. Then they will change into their own clothes and we will dismiss them to you from the dressing room hallway. Parents should wait in the main hallway.  Please do not enter the dressing room hallway.

See you at the show!
