Please arrive in full costume with hair and make-up done. One parent or guardian will need to escort their child to the dressing room and then exit the building or wait in foyer for the auditorium doors to open @ 1:30 pm. There will be chaperones in charge who will stay with your child in the dressing room throughout the night. There will be no video cameras allowed. Also, no flash photography during the show as it is a distraction to the dancers and the video. Anyone videotaping or using flash photography will be asked to leave the building. We are having the show professionally videotaped. You may purchase a copy anytime on rehearsal day or show day. At the completion of the show one parent or guardian may pick up their child in the dressing room. The show will last about 1 1/2 hours.
