      • Please have mics and costumes on ready to go
    • Performance at 5:30pm
    • Performance at 7:00pm
  • Please send a snack and water that they can eat in costume for between performances.
  • After the last performance on Saturday, students will need to turn in all costumes and help clean up. Thank you!

Costuming Reminders:

  • Please label costumes. This is as simple as a piece of tape inside with your name on it. There are 50 kids participating in the show and many have the same costumes. If one goes missing or gets left behind we can find the owner if it is labelled.
  • Please wear black shoes with black soles. Boys need black socks. Girls, please have a strap to keep your shoes from flying off your feet and hurting you or someone else. Only Cinderella is allowed to lose her shoe. 🙂
  • Black modesty clothes for changing in and out of costumes. Again there will be a lot of kids in the back changing. No one wants to see immodest bodies back there. Black leggings, and black camisole for the girls work well. Black T-shirt and black shorts for the boys. Please keep these clothes as modest as possible.
  • Have your costumes nice and stacked neatly in a bag in order of use, ready for the show. If you have one, we have found recycle type bags the nicest to use for this. They are sturdy and hold up with so much happening backstage.

Cast Party:

  • We will be having a cast party luncheon for the students on Friday, right after the student performances.
  • If you are interested in helping out, please contact Ali Miller 495-2777.
  • If your child is gluten free or has any other food allergy please let Ali know asap.
  • We want this to be a family friendly event so any parents and siblings who are there will be able to participate. We do ask that you wait until all cast members are served first before eating.
  • Please let Ali know how many people will be eating (besides the cast) asap so she can plan accordingly. To help off set cost we are asking for donations of $3 per person eating, not including students in the show. Thank you!

Tickets:

  • We still have lots of tickets for all of the performances.
  • Contact Kara if you have any questions

Video and Photography:

  • The Mendiola Family have volunteered to make a DVD of the show.
  • We will also be having Juventa Vezzani and Brian Osterhout taking pictures.
  • Since we will be having a DVD made and pictures taken, we are asking that families enjoy the show and not take pictures and video during the show. It is very distracting to the students if all they see are electronics pointed at them. They are learning how to read an audience so they can better interact with them. Please let us be the audience they can see.

We hope you are all excited for the show as much as we are. It is going to be great!

Thanks!

Cinderella Tickets

Hello Honor Choir Families!

Ticket Information:
The kids have been working very hard with Mr. Thompson to get ready for Cinderella. It has been exciting watching them work with a positive and open mind with one another! Now it is time to add the next step to make this an exceptional show. What is that step you ask? TICKET SALES! This year Kara Boggs is heading up the box office and she kindly took the time to make up beautiful tickets for us to sell. Starting Wednesday you can find her at practices to pick up tickets.

To all our new families, I want to extend a warm welcome to you! We are so happy to see all of you and your kids in honor choir! I am sure you are wondering how does the ticket sales work.  Well, I can help you there =) We ask that every family sells as many tickets as they can. Please understand that each student needs to “pay” $40 BUT if you sale 8 tickets at $5 each, you have covered the $40 fee. For many of you that will be covered by family tickets. Where does all the tickets money go, you ask? All the money from the tickets goes right back into choir. It helps to pay for special Choreographers, cast parties, Disney trips, props, uniforms, and many other things that helps make this program so successful!

So here is how you can get tickets to sell:

  1. Order your tickets on the website and Kara Boggs will have them ready for you at rehearsals, remember you can send family and friends to the website: http://hickmanhonorchoir.org/ and they can reserve tickets to pick up at the door.
  2. Call or text Kara 988-5200 and she will have your tickets ready for you at the next rehearsal, or
  3. Talk to Kara at the rehearsals. She is there every rehearsal, just look for her purple box of tickets

Starting Wednesday, August 24, Kara will be at practice ready to hand out tickets.  Come back as many times as you need and get more tickets =) We have tickets to sell for Friday, September 16 @ 7pm, Saturday, September 17 @ 5:30pm, and Saturday, September 17 @ 7pm. There are 300 tickets for each show! You do not have to pay for the tickets up front, but we do ask that you have all money and unsold tickets returned to Kara be Friday, September 9.  We will need to account for every ticket so please have them back to her on time.

This year lets make it our goal to have three sold out shows! It is great to look out into the audiences and see all the seats filled. It gives the kids a sense of accomplishment. They get excited and happy to see all their friends, family, coaches, neighbors, and teachers watching them.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email or call Kara (mommyboggs@gmail.com (209)988-5200).

Happy Selling!

Advertising:

It was great to see all the students stepping up and helping out with getting the word out for the production. To keep up the momentum up, below you can find the flyer and 1/4 sheet flyers that you can hand out to individual people. Keep up the great work advertising!
