PERFORMANCE INSTRUCTION PAGE: ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST FOLLOW THIS SCHEDULE. IF YOU DID NOT PICK A HARD COPY UP AT THE REHEARSALS DEC. 12 AND 13, PLEASE REFER TO THE ONLINE VERSION. THANK YOU.
If this seems confusing, well, it is. We are trying very hard to bend the schedule around some key conflicts (ie. Christmas parade, winter school concerts). Dec. 12 and 13 are the last rehearsals before tech week, so I expect to see everyone to the extent that it is humanly possible and failing grades will not be issued due to concert absences. When in doubt_ ASK. Questions are never too dumb.
Dancers accepted in the production who are not enrolled at Lafayette Ballet School will be asked to pay a $50
performance/costume fee prior to production. All dancers will be asked to purchase the correct footwear and tights
for the performances, but all other costume items will be provided.
A detailed list of times of rehearsals follows:
Nutcracker Rehearsals:
Times and Dates_ subject to change.
October and November will involve shorter rehearsal time frames designated for each role or part. A student may be cast in more than one part. Therefore please read each posted rehearsal call carefully for the correct information. A dancer will only be posted by name for the first and second rehearsals of the section. After that you will refer to the rehearsals by the role:
example: MICE
or the section: BATTLE
and finally by the act: Act 1, or Act 2
by December, most rehearsals will be called by the section block or the act.
They are:
Party Scene
Batte Scene
Snow Scene
all in Act 1
Angels, Opening, Variations, Finale
