Important Recital Reminders

Important Recital Reminders

1. Parents you MUST drop off your dancers at 1:00 on Sat. for the recital. As you enter the main door at KRHS, take an immediate left to that hallway. There will be two security men there who will take your dancers and pass them off to one of our backstage assistants who will in turn take them to their room mom. Please remember that unless you are a room mom, WITH A YELLOW BACKSTAGE PASS, you will NOT be able to go past our security men. This is for the safety of all our dancers and we appreciate your cooperation in this manner.

2. There are 3 parking lots at KRHS. If you park in the 2nd parking lot (which is the Visitor/Administration lot), you will be able to walk directly into the main door of KRHS which is where you’ll need to enter for both the rehearsal and the recital. For overflow parking, you can park in either of the other 2 parking lots but you’ll have to walk a short distance to the front door.

3. Shortly before intermission all room moms will take ALL dancers back to that hallway again where they will remain for the duration of the intermission. PLEASE NOTE: NO ONE WITHOUT A BACKSTAGE PASS WILL BE ADMITTED TO THE HALLWAY AT ANYTIME, EVEN DURING INTERMISSION. Your dancer will stay in that hallway with their room mom. Again, we appreciate your cooperation in helping us ensure the safety of all our dancers. Older girls, please remember that you MUST report back to the hallway during intermission.

4. Please note: No one will be allowed to tape off and reserve seats at dress rehearsal for recital day. In the past we have allowed this but it has become increasingly unfair to parents who arrive later to dress rehearsal. If you tape seats, I will remove them!!!!! Feel free to come in at 1:00 on Saturday after you drop off your dancer and save seats while you are sitting in the audience waiting for the show to start. Please do NOT tape off seats at anytime…even on Sat. while waiting for the show to start. We appreciate your understanding in this manner.

5. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD OR DRINK ALLOWED IN THE AUDITORIUM AT ANYTIME DURING REHEARSAL OR ON RECITAL DAY. This includes toddler snacks such as cheerios!! KRHS has required this and we need everyone’s assistance in this matter. Feel free to eat/drink before entering the auditorium but you MUST dump all food or drink in the provided trashcans before entering the auditorium. We reserve the right to dismiss anyone from the auditorium who does not adhere to this policy! Room moms and dancers, you can eat in the back hallway, but PLEASE put all trash in the two trashcans provided in the hallway!!!!!

6. You must have a ticket to enter the auditorium or a yellow backstage pass. Tickets are on sale now at the studio for $12/each. We will have them for sale at dress rehearsal but strongly encourage you to purchase them ahead of time. Tickets at the door, on recital day, will be $15/each if there are seats available.

7. For the safety of our dancers, flash photography and videotaping is strictly prohibited. We have hired a professional videographer who will be filming our recital. You MUST order these before recital or the day of. Order forms are available at the studio. DVDs are $50 for special 2-disc edition.

8. All dancers will be dismissed by class at the hallway entrance where you dropped off your dancers. Please be patient as we have 160+ dancers to dismiss at the show’s conclusion. We will dismiss the classes according to dress rehearsal order.

9. You must bring your dancer to dress rehearsal and recital with hair and make-up already done!!!!! This is so important!!!! If you wish to bring a bag for your dancer with shoes, etc. in it, please label the bag and we will return it with your dancer at the show’s conclusion.

10. During dress rehearsal, I will label rows of the auditorium for classes to sit in while waiting for their class to be called to the stage to perform. This is NOT where dancers will sit during the recital; it’s simply easier to put the dancers front & center during the rehearsal. Room moms, please sit with your classes at dress rehearsal and during the recital. Parents, please take your dancer to their assigned row/class and leave your daughter with her room mom even during rehearsal. This is good practice for recital day.

11. Please ask teachers any questions you may have regarding hair, make-up, etc. before rehearsal or recital. During recital day, especially, they will be unavailable to answer any questions. For problems on either day, please contact Amee Kreh, Stage Manager, or if not available, Debbie Morneau, Lulu Lane, or Ali Tantillo, Stage assistants. Thanks for your cooperation!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Amee Kreh at dragonflyamee@yahoo.com or 829-8063. Thanks so much for making our recital enjoyable and for a wonderful dance year!
