I am leaving the email I sent out here as well so there are multiple ways that you can look for the schedule.
Please remember all of the wonderful changes and cleaning we did this week! Keep up the excellent work and always remember, Quiet Sour Kangaroo.
Now that we are done staging the number you need to start getting off book. Which means, no more scripts. Start cleaning up those dance moves and look at all of the numbers you sing in. If you are unsure of what you are singing, NOW is the time to ask.
Remember the trip to the Knight Theater to perform at the Broadway JR. Celebration is on Thursday! Everyone will need to be at the school on Thursday, March 30th at 7:30 am. We will load up on the bus at 8 and we will be off to the Knight theater and arrive at 8:30- 8:45. If you are not here in time and miss the bus you will be required to go to school for the rest of the day.
Attire: Everything you wear should be clothing that you are comfortable moving in and adhere to CMS and Carmel Middle Dress Code.
Schedule:
Remember to review all of your notes on the show and ensure you are doing all of the choreography, singing, and blocking correctly.
Please note that we will start right at 4:30 so please be on time. Come to my room when they release car riders and start immediately looking at your script and the scene that we are working on that day.
If you are going to be absent: YOU or a PARENT/GUARDIAN must tell me that you will not be at rehearsal. Telling a cast or crew member to tell me the day of is not acceptable. We already have such a limited time with some of you. I promise the rehearsal process will be over before you know it. We really need to be at every rehearsal. I understand getting sick but I need to hear it from you that you will not be there.
Rehearsals for this week: 3/27-3/31 (schedule is subject to change based on the needs of the show)

The rehearsal videos are live and ready for you to view. The videos can be found on the website under the more tab and the drop-down window will show rehearsal videos. Website: www.carmelcougarplayers.weebly.com
Please use these videos to help you remember and learn the dances. It is up to you to write your position on the stage. Cardyn and Hadley will have your positions but don't rely on that. You have to do the work for yourself.
Please, everyone, we need to remember to bring our scripts to EVERY rehearsal. It is so crucial for you to write down all blocking and choreography. We only have one spare script, so you need to bring yours EVERY day.
Please note, that when we work on something in rehearsal we ask that you go home and start to put everything we worked on to memory. That means learning all music and blocking you learned the previous day.
Something else that helps is if you are not called for a rehearsal, start to prepare your music and lines for the next rehearsal you are in. This helps to make the process of everyone learning together move MUCH faster.
Of course, if you have any questions please reach out and I will respond as soon as I can. If you do respond to this email, make sure that you reply to only MR. TUCK and not reply all. This way only I get the responses and not everyone on the email thread.
