Transcription

1 ALL ABOUT Virginia Regional Ballet Academy s JUNE SHOW 2019 EACH FAMILY MUST sign up on SignUpGenius.com for one of the many volunteer positions! ALL Costume and June Show PAYMENTS ARE NOW DUE! Help us save on credit fees and keep show fees low by remitting payment by check or cash in the Williamsburg mail slot or Yorktown tuition box. All fees, including June tuition, must be paid to perform in the June Show! If you have any questions about your totals, please VRB at dance@dancevrb.com. Your two tickets and dancer t-shirt(s) included as part of the June Show Production Fee will be distributed at Dress Rehearsal (June 2nd at Hampton Roads Academy). PICTURE DAY Savand Action Photography -- Saturday, June 8, 2019 from 9:00 pm 7:00 pm at the Williamsburg studio Save the date! Group and individual portraits will be taken ONLY on Saturday, June 8th! The picture day schedule will be posted soon. Even if you are not planning to order individual portraits of your dancer, please attend picture day so that your dancer will be included in the group photo. Please let VRB know if your dancer will not be able to be present for her/his class photo(s). Wmbg. Classes (6/8) will be combined in studio 2. Ballet 4 & Up at both studios is canceled on this day. BACKSTAGE MOMS NEEDED! Each class needs a backstage mom. Backstage mom duties include: sitting with the class in the dressing room, making sure dancers are properly costumed, getting dancers on and off the stage, and releasing each dancer to her/his parent at the specified time. You must be available for dress rehearsal. If you are interested in taking on this very important job, please sign up on SignUpGenius.com. If your child is in more than one dance, let the class parent change her costume. It is very distracting for parents to keep entering and exiting the auditorium, and there is just not enough room in the dressing rooms for each child to have her/his parent backstage. Link to SignUpGenius is coming soon. COSTUME NOTES Please label all costumes, costume bags, shoes and accessories. If your dancer is in more than one dance, write your child s name on the hanger and have all necessary accessories in a zip top bag labeled with your child s name and hanging with the costume. Please do not bring big dance bags to the theatre. There simply is not enough floor space. Rental costumes must be left at the theatre after the shows. Reminder: NO eating or drinking in costume! TICKETS - Tickets go on sale on May 1 st Your June Show production fee included two tickets to one performance of the June Show and a t-shirt for your dancer(s). These will be distributed to you on Picture Day. Additional tickets may be purchased for $10 each. Tickets are available at the studio and at the door on the day of the performances. To purchase tickets at the studio, complete the ticket form and drop it in the mail slot or tuition drop box along with payment (cash or check payable to Virginia Regional Ballet). Pre-ordered tickets will be available for pickup during Dress Rehearsal. Children attending (and not performing in) the June Show must have a ticket unless they are able to sit in a ticket-holder's lap (3 years old and under only). The tickets largely contribute to the cost of renting the theater. There is limited seating,

2 and we need tickets to ensure that everyone can get a seat. Please stay for the entire show. The last group deserves as big an audience as the first group. Thank You! DRESS REHEARSALS MANDATORY!
