Hi Moana Jr. campers and families,
The campers closed out Week 1 incredibly strong today! This morning, they staged and learned choreography for the end of the show. This means they've finished the entire script and will be able to work on fixing and cleaning any spots they struggle with.
During the afternoon, they ran the entire show from start to finish with as little pauses as possible. They already look great and the directing team can't wait to see how the show continues to improve through the end of Week 2!
Below, in addition to choreography videos, we have attached vocal tracks and accompaniment tracks to help the cast practice their vocals over the weekend.
Our staff also wants to remind all parents not to park and get out of their cars or have students walk to them while parked during drop off. That is a big safety issue and we want to be as cautious as possible with our campers.
We hope you all have a restful weekend and we can't wait to see you Monday!
Camp Dates and Times:
Monday, July 19th - Friday, July 23rd from 9 am - 4 pm

OFF BOOK DATE
Reminders
1. PICKUP TIME - Pickup starts promptly at 3:45. We ask that parents arrive as close to that time as possible so students aren't left to sit with our staff past camp's close
2. DROP OFF - When dropping off your students for the day, please pull all the way up. We ask that you don't park and get out of your cars to bring your students in the building, or allow your student to walk across the parking lot to arrive every day. It can be a safety issue and we don't have staff designated to watch traffic and crossing lanes for students.
3. JAZZ SHOES - If students don't already have their jazz shoes, they need to have them at the very latest by the start of camp this coming Monday. Please order them if you haven't yet!
4. KNEE PADS - Campers in the Ocean ensemble have multiple moments during the show in which they have to spend extended periods on their knees. If they would like, they are welcome to bring in knee pads for rehearsals for a little more comfort.
5. DRESS CODE - Please keep in mind the dress code when getting ready for camp each day. We want the campers to be comfortable, but not in any clothing that they may need to continually adjust as it can distract/limit them and their movement.
6. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!!!!

WHAT TO BRING
Clear Bins
CLEAR BINS
We request that all students bring their materials in a clear bin. No book bags. This allows us to help students quickly and efficiently find materials. Additionally, the clear bin is a great way for students to store things in a tidy way. Would you please not bring book bags to the program? We strongly recommend a large enough bin to fit a folder, a lunch box, shoes, make-up, and misc. Items.
Here is the Link we are recommending from Amazon.
LUNCHES
Please steer clear of anything with nuts, as we have a few students with severe nut allergies.
