The Weekly Update~ BMS Drama Club

We are moving forward!

Everything is moving forward to the final shows in March. They will be here before you know it. We have 13 rehearsals left to opening night. This is very exciting and I can not wait for you all to see the students and the amazing talent they are bringing to the stage. It is going to be a great show!

We will be looking for some parent help in the coming weeks. Please be on the lookout for communication from us about what we will need. The biggest need at this moment is snacks for the kids for rehearsals and meals for the kids during tech week. Thanks you for those who have donated. Mrs. Bauer made a Google signup for this and other volunteering needs. Please click the button below and help out the club.

Thank you to everyone that has been paying their fees. There are 43 students (18 cast and 35 crew) involved in the show that need to pay their fees ($15 PTP + $35 Material Fee). I will be sending emails to those who owe money. I would like to have all money owed collected by the end of January. There is information below how to pay the fees.

Another big item coming soon will be tickets. Pre-sale tickets will go on sale in two weeks. Families will have the opportunity to buy pre-sale tickets at a discounted price. This is the best way to get tickets for the show. Remember seating is first come first serve basis. Ticket prices go up at the door so please get your pre-sale tickets. Also I am looking for some parents to help with ticketing. Email me if interested.

Lastly, please keep communicating to us your absences. Remember, crew issues need to be emailed to Mrs. Bauer and cast to me. Mrs. Bauer and I are in constant communication so if you forget, we will send the email to the right person.

~Best!

Mr. A

Please make sure that your child has filled out the drama shirt order form. We will be placing our order on January 28th. Please have the form filled out no later than Friday, Jan 27th. The link is place below for your convenience and can also be found in the Drama Club Google Classroom.

We will be placing one order on Jan 28th. If you do not fill out the form then you will not get a shirt.

Another dance rehearsal is this week. These will be on Wednesday's and will run from 6 pm to 9 pm. Students will need to ride the bus home on these days and then come back to school by 6pm. There are only 4 dance rehearsals and they are mandatory. Ms. Connie, or choreographer did say that some students may be released early from these rehearsals. We will announce the dance schedule in remind of who is getting released early. I will try my best to communicate to everyone about these dance rehearsals.

We have a wonderful opportunity to see the Brunswick High School production for Seussical: The Musical. This is a free show for our students and will offer a meet and greet with some of the high school cast members. Parents will need to drop students off at the high school PAC. Students will need to arrive at the high school PAC at 5 PM. The show begins at 5:30 PM. Parents will need to pick up students by 9PM.

This is open to the entire drama club. Please plan on attending the show to support our high school drama club.

Please know your crew schedule. The crew schedule can be found in rehearsal schedule document.

Please contact Mrs. Bauer or myself if you have questions about this process.

Please pay your fees for drama club. There are two fees that need to be paid. There is a $15 club fee and $35 material fee. Both of these can be paid via check or My School Bucks.

Please note, in My School Bucks the $35 Drama material fee is listed on its own square. However, you need to go into clubs to pay the $15 drama club fee. It is in the drop down menu.

Please contact Mrs. Eberwein in the 7th grade office if you have any questions. heberwein@bcsoh.org

Checks need to be made out Brunswick City Schools.

Thank you to Mr. Musto who took some great photos of our students. Please fill out the form to have access to the pictures from the production on Shutter Fly. From there you can buy and print what you like.

It seems that students have been signing up to get the pictures. We encourage this with parent approval. They have been trying to use their school email account. This is not working because it is getting blocked by the school's fire wall. The best solution is parents sign up for the account and share the pictures with your child. It might be the most safest solution.

FYI it is this the same Shutter Fly account from last year.
