Specific costume instructions will be included it our May newsletter. If students have more than one costume please arrive in your first costume and bring the others on hangers. Scheduled times for these photo shoots and order forms will be enclosed with the May news letter. Please have order forms filled out in advance.

“Ticket Day”: Doors will open at 10:00am and close at 2:00pm . Tickets are sold at “Gotta Dance”. There is a 15 ticket maximum per enrolled student at this time and seats will be selected on a first come first serve basis. If you may need more than 15 tickets your name will be placed on a waiting list in order of your arrival. Once everyone has received their tickets you will be contacted of any remaining tickets. Tickets may not be purchased for other parties.  Tickets are $13.00 a piece. Sorry, no credit cards. At this time we will also be taking T-shirt orders for our annual performance (this includes each students name printed on the back). Also, orders for program ads to send a message to your dancer or to advertise a business. Summer and Fall registration will also be accepted at this time.  

In-house Rehearsals: In-house rehearsals will take place at “Gotta Dance” on June 17, and 18. All children under age 7 will be in Act I and some older classes will be in Act I as well. (no costumes on this day).

Dress Rehearsal: Dress rehearsal will take place at Lowell Memorial High School Auditorium on Friday June 20, 2008 at 4:45pm . All students must wear entire costume and stage makeup. All alterations should be completed. Students should appear on stage exactly how they will appear for the performance. Dressing room volunteers are needed. Anyone volunteering must be available during dress rehearsal and the performance and will receive a free ticket. Please let me know if you are interested. (All volunteers will be able to watch their child’s dance number during the performance.)

Costumes will be distributed throughout the month of  April and May. Several costume balances have not been received. Please make sure all balances are paid in full. Students will not receive their costumes until balances are paid. Costumes should be taken home and hung in a safe place. These costumes are irreplaceable and should not be worn or played with until after the performance. Costumes run in small, medium, large... sizes and are not made to order. Sizes were ordered that best fit the measurements taken earlier in the season.  Therefore, everyone should expect some slight alterations, tacking, stitching, hemming etc. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
