Newsletter #1

Dear Parents,

It is time to talk about Concert Time! Believe it or not, it is only TWO months away! There are also a couple of other things that I would like to address, but let’s start with the December Concert date and rehearsals. Mark your calendars!

Concert/Rehearsal Dates and Times (located at the Jr. High):

All students are REQUIRED to attend all rehearsals and the concert

Tues., December 15^th - MANDATORY Dress Rehearsal:

--Pre-2^nd: 4:00 – 5:15 PM,

--3^rd-6^th: 5:00 – 6:15 PM---(overlapped with purpose!)

--Specialties: 6:30 – 7:00/7:30 PM

Wed., December 16^th - MANDATORY Rehearsal run (no costumes): All students: 4:00 – 5:30

Wed., December 16^th - CONCERT! Doors open at 6:30 PM. Concert begins @ 7:00 PM

(this is different than last year!)

Costumes:

If you have been with us for awhile, please have your child try on the costume that they have worn for the past concerts. If it still fits….great! If not, please bring it to me and we can use it to sell as a used costume. Those who are new to TaVaci this year: I will contact you if we have a used costume in your child’s size. Otherwise, plan on paying full price. I will measure the students for costumes this up-coming week---please make sure your child is present! Payment for these costumes are due by the end of November and MUST be paid before your child can take the costume home!

Attendance:

At the beginning of the year I like to remind everyone how crucial attendance is to help TaVaci run efficiently. We teach a lot of material every week and if your child isn’t there, they miss out on what is taught---thus, falling behind! It makes the student very frustrated. Please try to get your child here every week and on time! Thank you!

Blog:

As mentioned in the studio policies, we have a blog up and running! The web-site is vernaltavaci.blogspot.com. I will post this newsletter on there along with some fun pictures from class. Anytime that I send out an up-date, it will be posted on the blog as well. If you can’t remember concert dates and don’t know where it is on your e-mail…that is what the blog is for! If you have questions for me, you can either post a comment, e-mail, or call at anytime.

As always, thank you so much for supporting us in teaching your children the performing arts!
