Treasure Island Newsletter #9

Parents, please have your children read the newsletters or read it with them. Some children didn't know they got new parts because they didn't read the newsletter. Thank you!

Paragraphs are in alphabetical order
  1. Assistants & Parents

  5. Tech crew

1. Assistants & Parents


At this stage of the rehearsals, the children will be dispatched in different parts of the GLC, either because they work in groups, or because they wait on the side and in the back waiting for their turn to get on stage. It will be difficult for me to have an eye on them all, so I could use more parents' help!
Please sign up using this Google Doc https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiiVjI99J01ddEpCUEdOdjdaaTZiQkRHRHVSTlRPdEE&usp=sharing
I need 2 parents on each side of the stage, and one to handle the wireless microphones). 
If you can commit to being there regularly, it would be even better, but any help will be appreciated. 

I am offering an optional meeting with parents in the GLC to roughly explain what's going on, how you can support, and give room to Q&A: Wednesday 2/12, 4:30pm-5pm in the GLC.
