This week we did a ton of fittings, learned new choreo and vocal parts, did a little music theory, recorded sweetener tracks in the studio, started feature numbers for the Broadway show, and prepared for our second community event! Whew! Huge shout outs to Lovella, Charlie, Kelly, Christina for helping us out this week. We also had several students and parents bring in extra garment bags and hangers. Thank you so much for the support. The kids were wonderful getting everything labeled and organized. They all know how to hang clothes now so feel free to encourage that skill at home!
St. Hedwig’s tomorrow!
Those participating will wear choir t-shirts and blue jeans. We will meet at 4:45 by the stage. Please do not be late. We will be finished with our performance by 5:45 and the kids can go play after.
Costumes due Monday Oct. 12th
Starting on Tuesday Oct. 13th we will be running our show in costume during class time. Students need to have all of their costume pieces including shoes, socks, and undergarments. All pieces should be labeled with their name on the inside of the show or garment.
Broadway Costume List
Here is the costume list for our Broadway show. It’s a little early yet but I wanted to give you time to find what you needed. Please do not invest much. I have a few pieces students can borrow and much of this can be found at thrift stores or in your closets at home. Let me know if you need help.

Show undergarments and jewelry
Students will be changing back stage and in classrooms for the show. For this reason they need to have appropriate undergarments for modesty. We do not wear jewelry for our concerts unless it is specifically part of the costume. Stud earrings are OK. No rings, bracelets, dangly or hoop earring, anklets, or necklaces.
Ladies: All ladies need a flesh colored tank or leotard and white or black shorts depending on the costume. Bras need to have flesh or clear straps. No sports bras.
Gentlemen: All boys will need a white t-shirt or tank, black socks, and black compression shorts.
Broadway Show/Dance Show dress rehearsal conflict
It has come to our attention that both the choir and dance programs have dress rehearsal on Nov. 4th. Both are very important to the concert and we want to make sure the students can attend both. Choir students who are participating in the dance rehearsal will report to the high school from 2:30-3:30 for a staging rehearsal. They will bring all of their choir costumes with them. Following dance rehearsal you will report to McGaugh for choir rehearsal 3:45-6:00. We will start rehearsal with BFF and elementary students so you have time to get there and change. Please talk to your fellow dancers to arrange for carpooling to McGaugh and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
