F.A.Q.

Where is the recital?

Riverbend High School

When is the recital?

Saturday, December 14th

We will do our Dress Rehearsal backward, we will rehearse Act II first and then Act I. We do this so the students that are in Act I can hold on to their rented costumes for the recital.

Act II Students need to arrive between 9:00-9:15am so we can get started at around 9:40.

Rehearsal for this Act should be over between 11:30-12:00

All Act I Dancers need to arrive at 11:15. They will come to the prop room to check out their costume and then go to their assigned dressing room. We will get this rehearsal started as soon as we are done rehearsing Act II. Even though students are renting the costume, they need to provide their own tights, shoes, and makeup.

We will be done rehearsing Act I by 1:30 and then we will open doors for the recital at 1:45 and we will begin promptly at 2pm. The recital should be over around 4/4:15.

During intermission all Act I dancers need to return their rented costume to the prop room with their costume hung and all accessories inside the garment bag.

Do I need to purchase tickets?

They are $15.

You can purchase tickets at the door, cash or Venmo.

You are more than welcomed to talk to Ms. Roxanne about that. She will have dressing stations set up backstage. If your child needs help in the dressing room, you can just come back real quick to help and then go back out into the audience to watch.
