Thank you one and all! You make my job so much easier! A few notes from tonight....
Costumes - because we are in a union house, chaperones have been asked to NOT handle the costumes. Our job is to keep the dancers lined up and calm while the wardrobe crew calls them forward one at a time. We will have an experienced dresser tomorrow who will help smooth out and speed up the process. Chaperones are welcome to help with bows and shoes, but NOT costumes. (I learned a new "bow" trick that I will show you all.)
If there is a costume problem, the dancer should tell the lead chaperone. The lead chaperone will take a note and give it to Belinda, David, or Pam.
Beginning Friday night chaperones need to wear ALL black. If you are not in black (or very dark colors) you will not be allowed backstage.
Whenever your group is moving from one area to another, I would like one chaperone in front leading the way and one in back bringing up the rear. Everyone should WALK in single file and to the right as they go up and down the stairs. If you are alone with a group, please lead the way - the kids have a tendency to run from place to place.
