DAY 1 UPDATES
GRADES 4 - 9: July 8th, 2019
THANK YOU!
Today, students had a blast! They toured the facility with their counselors and then learned a dance from the musical. After which, half of the students were in call-backs while the other half took a Master Class in audition from Jacob Fischer and Mickaila Perry, from NYC, about how to audition for future productions! Additionally, students learned music from Ms. Carlock and Ms. Janoschka! We can't wait to work with all of your students!
Below are a few reminders as we prepare for day 2.

TICKETS
Tickets are for sale at rrpa.booktix.com. Seating is reserved. Today we sent out complimentary codes for you, as every registered child received 2 complimentary General Admission tickets. Tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. Please wait to see which cast your student is cast in before purchasing tickets for the performances.
T-SHIRTS
T-shirts were given out today. Unfortunately, some parents, when registering their students clicked on the wrong sizes. We did our best to accommodate appropriate sizes. Please wear the show shirts on THURSDAY for a company photo!
EXCLUSIVE T-SHIRT ORDERS: If you ordered an exclusive Mulan T-Shirt, they will be given out tomorrow!

EXPRESS SIGN-IN AND OUT
EXPRESS SIGN-IN AND OUT: As a reminder, you may NOT drop off your child before 9am. You must either use our express sign-in system, where you stay in your car and create a line of cars in the parking lot, or you may walk your kids in starting at 9am. Due to staff meetings, doors do not open until 9am.
For express sign-out, please pull up to the tent, give your slip to the counselor and drive around to the bus loop. For both express pick-up and drop-off you must have a slip for safety and security purposes. Otherwise, you must do so at the registration table.

MULAN, JR. CAST LIST
Casting is one of the hardest things we do here at RRPA. We take our time to discuss every student and think about where we place them so they will grow the most in the program. As a reminder, please help your child overcome any negative feelings they have. GRIT is the number one reason why performers are successful. They never give up. This is a great opportunity to discuss with your child how to overcome challenges if they are feeling some unpleasant emotions after casting.
HOW TO READ THE CAST LIST: Find your child’s ID Number and the role they will be playing.
OFF BOOK/MEMORIZED: Students are requested to be memorized by Friday, July 12th. However, students absolutely must be memorized by Monday, the 15th. Help students learn their lines and solos at home!
DISCLAIMER: All students were cast. If you do not see your number please email rebekah.hess@rockridgeperformingarts.org. We did our best to honor requests for performance dates. Please note that we were able to honor all performance date requests, but were unable to honor all friend requests as there were conflicts within the casting process.
