On the blog, I announced no Wednesday rehearsals because of a conflict. I announced this to the kids yesterday as well. We will have rehearsal next Wednesday from 4:30-5:30. Yesterday, we watched the British Broadcasting Corporation’s film – Wind in the Willows. We will work on animal characteristics and try to get through page 13 on Sunday. The kids and I talked about costumes. The middle school’s budget was cut this past year and I have to watch pennies. We will not be using the alternates in the public performances this year because it is expensive and we have so many. The alternates are gaining experience, and we will lose a lot of eighth graders this year. As far as costumes, my high school students will work on them. It is an educational experience for them – acting as mentors, designing a set and costumes. Hopefully, parents will not have to make them this year. We may ask for help with accessories. We will use middle school cast, crew and alternates as extras in Wizard of Oz and will discuss this later.
Thank you, parents for furnishing refreshments. It saved us yesterday. Please speak to “veteran” OAP parents if you need advice on what to bring. It does not need to be intricate or expensive. Water and peanut butter crackers will work. I have the best job in the world. Thank you for allowing me to work with your children.
