Jazz Shoes, Facebook, Flyers and Sweatshirts!
I hope you are enjoying your week off with your kiddos! A few things to cover...
1. I heard from a parent that Payless has a lot of jazz shoes in right now. If you're not planning on using them for dance classes in the future, that could be a great place to pick them up. (I'm not sure about the quality to give a recommendation to use them for dance classes, but they'd be fine for the show!)
2. To help with your ticket sales, a Facebook Event has been created so you can invite your friends. It has all of the cast details, dates, etc... So CLICK HERE and invite family, friends, coworkers, neighbors... you get the idea!
3. Here's our official flyer if you'd like to email it to family and friends. You should be able to right click and save this one. Feel free to email me if that doesn't work and I'll send you the file.
4. One of our great theater moms set up sweatshirts/tshirts with a gal she knows. They're great (I know because I'm spoiled and have one already -- thanks ladies!), and you're welcome to order one if you'd like! All you have to do is fill out the form HERE, including your size, whether you want a sweatshirt ($35) or t-shirt ($20), and what you'd like on the back in the "Special Instructions" box, then click submit! She'll then shoot you an invoice and you can pay via PayPal. We'll also have printed forms near the sign out sheet at rehearsals if you'd like to fill one out there and give it to me. Here are some photos to help you decide if you'd like to order!
That's all for now! I'll be in touch late this week or over the weekend about all the lovely volunteer opportunities coming up as we are getting closer to show time!

Costume Sheets
Costume Sheets were emailed today (make up info will be sent out closer to the show). Please let me know right away if you did not receive your costume sheet(s)!
The costume parade is just one month away -- this will be my chance to look over all the costumes together, see if there are any slight changes that need to be made to make the picture look good as a whole, etc...
If you would like to purchase dance shoes, feel free to buy them anywhere. I like to shop through Discount Dance Supply as I have never had a problem with them and feel they are reasonably priced (www.DiscountDance.com). Do make sure you read their size guidelines before ordering -- dance shoes are usually sized differently than street shoes.
If you haven’t already used it for another show, discount code TP34617 maybe be used for a 10% discount on one purchase. If they ask the name of the studio, it is Tippy Toe Arts. If they ask for the teacher name, it’s Michelle Serrano.
Please feel free to ask questions -- the sooner the better!

Rehearsal Schedule (week of 2/18)
No rehearsals this week! It's an free week since tech/dress week will interfere with Spring Break. If anyone wants to work on their character, lines, songs, etc... I'm scheduling appointments during normal rehearsal times. Email me if you're interested.
Keep your eyes out for costume sheets. They'll be out Monday at the latest (thank you for your patience!!).

Ticket Packets, Schedule, Fingerprinting, etc...
Tickets and Schedules!
Last night ticket packets and schedules were distributed to those at rehearsal. They will be distributed at each rehearsal. If you child is not going to be at rehearsal this week, please stop by during a rehearsal time for yours or we can arrange a time to get it to you next week.
Please note that there is a big mistake on the back side of the ticket order sheet. Unfortunately I was working off the "Aristocats Kids" order sheet and I somehow left a bar that has Purple and Orange cast performance dates and another bar with prices that reflect $7 tickets. I apologize for this -- it does not apply to our show. Please refer to the Sand and Sea cast performance dates and the prices reflecting $8 tickets on the front of the sheet.
In case you remember the initial info/agreements, they stated that ticket prices would be $9 each. Please note that the tickets you sell prior to March 6th will be $8 each. After that, all other pre-orders and tickets at the door will be $9.
Fingerprinting!
If you filled out a volunteer application to be fingerprinted, your packet has been mailed and you should have received it by this point. Please let me know if you have not and I will look into that for you. A few of you have already made your appointment and been cleared -- thank you if you have already been in and taken care of that! Please be sure to work on finding an appointment time if you haven't already.
Remember, you MUST have been fingerprinted for the City of Gilroy to help in any context with the actors (supervision, backstage, etc...).
Next week we're off, but I'm available to work with individuals/small groups if anyone wants to schedule a time!

Notes and Rehearsal Schedule (weeks of 2/11 & 2/18)
Rehearsals are going well so far -- thank you for your work and involvement up to this point!
A few notes:
SCRIPTS & CDs have been distributed to those at rehearsal this week. These are for each actor/family to keep. Replacements will need to be shipped from New York and there will be time and a fee involved so please keep track of them.
SCHEDULES are ready to go and copies will be distributed next week. If you need one before then, please send an email to Michelle@PushArtsAndFitness.com. (If you are reading this in your email, don't reply to it -- I'll never see it!)
TICKET PACKETS are ready to go and sadly, I didn't even realize I forgot to bring them to rehearsal tonight until I started writing this paragraph and realized they're still sitting here in a nice, neat pile. If you would like to start selling tickets right away, please contact me and I will arrange a time this weekend to get you your packet. Feel free to pick up your packet before or after any rehearsal time next week (even if you/your child is not scheduled). The return date for the ticket packets is March 6th, so just under a month away -- it will be here quick!

ONE LAST NOTE: We have some cast members in other local shows that opened this weekend -- Sweeny Todd (Christopher High School) and Big (South Valley Civic Theater)! Support them if you can. Please see below for feedback regarding appropriate ages:
Sweeny Todd (non musical version) - Probobably over 12 years old depending on the kid. There's a lot of blood...I think there are 6-7 deaths. There were some 8-10 years olds at the preview who loved it. (It does have some humor too.)
Big, the Musical - Should be okay for all ages. There are some innuendos which should go over young heads.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!
