Room Mom Reminders

Room Mom Reminders

Thanks so much for your willingness to help at our recital by being a room mom. Please see the reminders below and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Amee Kreh,
Stage Manager

Safety is our main concern both during dress rehearsal and recital. It is so important that you keep your dancers with you at all times!!! Please see the attached updated room mom list as we have switched some moms around.

Here’s how it will work…

DRESS REHEARSAL

1. I will label rows of the auditorium with class names. Parents will come into the auditorium, find their dancer’s class, and hand their dancer over to you.

2. You are responsible for keeping your dancers with you until we call their class to the stage. We will do this as quickly as possible but please be patient.

3. You will escort them out the auditorium door, and down the back hallway to the back stage door where either I or one of the stage assistants will meet you. You will then escort the class to the stage wings where we will set them up to perform. After the rehearse, you will take them back out the door, down the hallway and back to the auditorium where their parents may meet you and take them home at that time.

4. Please make sure that your dancers are not eating or drinking in the auditorium AT ANY TIME!!!!

RECITAL

1. Parents will drop off dancers at the hallway you entered/exited to get to the stage at dress rehearsal.

2. One of our security men, will then hand the dancer off to one of the stage assistants who will then bring them to you at your assigned hallway spot.

3. I will label the back hallway prior to dress rehearsal. As you are passing through the hallway on dress rehearsal night, please look for your class name on the wall so you’ll know where to come when you arrive on recital day. This is where you should come immediately upon arrival at KRHS and this is where one of the stage assistants will bring your dancers to you. This is also where you will bring your dancers during intermission!!!!

4. Once the show has begun, you will then escort your class to the BACK of the auditorium where they can sit until about 6 numbers prior to their performance at which time you will escort them back to the drop off spot in the hallway. It is very important that you keep them as quiet as possible during the performance. When entering/exiting the auditorium, please do so between dances NOT will dancers are performing.

5. NO TAP SHOES ON IN THE AUDITORIUM. If your class is performing a tap number, please allow for time to put on tap shoes before they perform.

6. As with dress rehearsal, there is ABSOLUTELY no food or drink allowed in the auditorium at anytime. Feel free to take your class to the hallway to eat a snack.

7. A few numbers before intermission, please bring all dancers back to the hallway to your drop off spot and sit with them there during intermission. You may want to bring a non-messy snack (goldfish, pretzels, cheez-its are good ideas) for your class and/or ask other parents from your class to donate these…same for water. Please do NOT allow dancers to drink juice while in costume.

8. Once intermission has concluded, feel free to bring dancers back to the auditorium so they can watch the rest of the show. You will need to bring them back to the hallway a couple songs before the finale so that they can come onto the stage for our closing.

9. If you have dancers who are in multiple classes, arrangements should have been made for another mom to pick up that dancer, change her, get her to the stage and then get her back to you.

10. We will dismiss from the hallway. I will stand at the entrance and call for classes. When your class is called, please bring your dancers (and any bags they may have left with you) to the entrance so that I can dismiss them to their parents.
11. Please, please, please be sure to clean up and food or drinks after the show and put trash in the trash cans.

If at any time you have questions during the show, please contact me or one of the Stage Assistants…Debbie Morneau, Lulu Lane, or Ali Tantillo.

Thanks again for your help!
