2 1 2 3 Picture Days June 4 & 5 Professional pictures will be taken at the studio by Kristin Garland Photography. We have split the classes into TWO days for pictures. She will take individual photos then a class photo. Please remember parents are not allowed in the room while pictures are being taken. We will let the professionals take care of all the posing and smiling! Please arrive at least 20 minutes early in full costume with hair and light makeup. We ask you to arrive on time (see chart) because we are on a tight schedule and we cannot wait if you are late. Saturday classes are scheduled to take their photos close to their class time to make it more convenient for you. Dance paws are not needed for picture day. Nude camisole leotards are not recommended either because the straps show. day for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation. We welcome shots of dancers with their friends and family, however friend images will be limited to 3 per dancer and must be requested in writing by a parent when the class is first brought in. If they will be in different costumes, please choose one of the class times that is most convenient. We will not take images that are not approved by one of the dancers parents. This will streamline picture if you prefer to pay by check, you may see the office for an order form. All images are printed on high quality photo paper. She also offers package deals and other merchandise like mugs, canvases, photobags and other gifts. Also, Digital copies of images may be purchased and downloaded through the website. Both low and high resolution images will be available. High resolution images are recommended for printing. Please note that online sharing 2 If you can t make it to your designated time, you are welcome to pop in another time for your individual picture but you will obviously miss the class photo. Photos will be taken in the PINK room. Dancers should line up in the BLUE hallway about 5 minutes before their scheduled time. The times given are estimates and we may run slightly ahead of or behind schedule. We typically take the individual photos first then groups, but due to costume changes, we occasionally take them the other way around. After photos are done, dancers will exit into the main lobby of the studio. You can view and order your photos through Kristin Garland s website: kristingarlandphotography.zenfolio.com or of images requires the purchase of a digital image. Screen shots and other copied images violate copyright laws. Please be sure your dancer understands this policy. Packages of low resolution images will be available to make it easier to share those favorite shots on Facebook and Instagram! Be sure to use #allegrorecital2016 in your posts! Kristin will also be taking photos during the dress rehearsals and recital and those photos will be available this summer! Please note that during dress rehearsals, you will not be able to sit and watch in the front row because Kristin will be taking photos and needs to be able to run back and forth without tripping over anyone. Also, please do not take photos from the wings during the dress rehearsals or shows. Kristin will be back there during the recitals but also there is too much going on back there that it would be hazardous to our dancers. We are grateful to Kristin for capturing these priceless moments and memories so beautifully!

The meal is typically salad, chicken broccoli ziti, sandwiches, pizza, cookies, etc. Unfortunately, we can not accept sign up or payment the day of so please sign up and pay before Wednesday, June 8 th. You may want to bring a chair or a blanket to sit on outside or you may sit on the sidewalk and grass.

9 BLOCKING REHEARSAL INFORMATION This year, MANDATORY BLOCKING REHEARSALS will be at the studio. Blocking rehearsals will be a chance for us to work on lighting cues and costume changes. Dancers do NOT need to do their hair and makeup for these rehearsals but costumes are required. Feel free to wear old tights to these rehearsals. We are asking for costumes primarily because we will be working on lighting cues at this rehearsal. *Please note that if your dance is in two recitals, you will only block it once! You will, however, run it in all dress rehearsals! SHOW ONE Monday, June 13 from 4-8pm will block Performance Team Pieces SHOW TWO Tuesday, June 14 from 4-8pm SHOW THREE Wednesday, June 15 from 4-8pm will block It s a Small World and Peter Pan Need Alterations? If you need alterations and you are in need of a seamstress, we recommend you contact one of our studio moms, Destenie Mansfield. You may call or text her at (603) or her at Destenie.Mansfield@gmail.com. DO NOT IRON your costumes but it s okay to steam them. The best way to steam your costumes is to hang it upside down in the bathroom for several days to let the steam from your shower work it s magic! Recital Bake Sale & Other Allegro Gifts Available We always have brand new Allegro Clothing for sale at the show! Every year, our Dance Company hosts a bake sale at the show everything is only $1 and all proceeds benefit our Dance Company Dancers. If you are interested in donating a baked good, Miss Robyn will be sending out a link for Sign-Up Genius. Please be sure to label your items with what the items are called and also note if they have peanuts or tree nuts. Thank you! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD OR DRINKS (EXCEPT BOTTLED WATER) IN THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER!!! You may eat in the lobby or dressing rooms ONLY. Anyone who does not follow this rule will be asked to leave the auditorium the CHS auditorium staff is very strict about this. It is an unwritten rule that every dancer earns flowers or a gift after a well-done performance! This year, we have again partnered with FloraCause - where the proceeds will benefit Make-A-Wish. FloraCause will have a large variety of beautiful bouquets for sale ranging from $12- $20. They will not be taking pre-orders, but will have plenty of flowers to choose from before the shows! 9

10 PLAYBILL ADVERTISEMENT & SHOUT-OUTS Our recital program is similar to a Playbill that you would receive at a Broadway show! It makes a great keepsake, but you also have the option of placing an advertisement in the program to support your dancer or showcase your business to an audience of more than 1500 people from the local area! Sizes range from one-line shoutouts ($15) to business card size ($50) to a ¼ page ($100) to a ½ page ($150) to a full-page ($200). The entire book will be printed in black and white except for the cover. Please see the office or Miss Jen for further information. You may view an example of last year s book in the office. Remember any size ad can be personal! This may be a nice chance to surprise your dancer with a photo and congrats on their 5 year award or even just another awesome year of dance! Please note that your business can be showcased in all ads except the shoutouts! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Ads are due NO LATER than June 1 st. IMPORTANT Pointes Your account must be paid in full by May 15. Students with overdue accounts will not be permitted to take home their recital costumes and therefore will not be able to participate in picture day or the recital(s). All dress rehearsals and recitals will be held at the Chelmsford High School Performing Arts Center 190 Richardson Road North Chelmsford, MA. Attendance is MANDATORY at all rehearsals. Failure to attend rehearsals may result in not being permitted to perform in the show. It s very difficult for the rest of your classmates to be adequately prepared and comfortable on stage if everyone is not present during rehearsals. Each show is expected to last approximately 3 hours. RECITAL VOLUNTEERS The show only goes smoothly with the help of volunteers our staff can t do it alone! We will need close to 100 people to help backstage, in dressing rooms, in the lobby, as ushers, etc. Volunteer positions are filled on a firstcome, first-served basis. Thank you in advance for your help! Please LYNNE before June 1 st if you are interested in volunteering! Opportunities include Boutique Sales Ticket Sales Bake Sale Security Ushers Guide for Dancers at rehearsals or Recital Props/Curtain Meal between shows 2 & 3 Runners Check-in/Check-Out Backstage Chaperones RECITAL DAY SAFETY PROCEDURES We love Chelmsford High School s auditorium, but the one problem is they do not have large dressing rooms available immediately backstage, therefore we have to rent classrooms in the adjacent building of the school. Dancers that are enrolled in the Beg/Int Level and below have their dressing rooms in that main building of the school. On recital day, we will have signs and volunteers directing you to these rooms. To ensure the safety of all our dancers, we have you check-in at a table in the school when you first arrive and you receive a slip of paper with your dancer s name. You will need this ticket to pick up your child at either intermission or after the show. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.we will not release your child without that slip of paper so please do not send a family member to pick up your child without it! Please wait until Intermission or until the end of the show do not come back during the show to see your child or to take them to the audience. We want you to enjoy the show and we will happily take care of your dancer! Dancers that only perform in the first half of the show will be released to their parents at Intermission. They can then sit on your lap to watch the rest of the show or up in back where there are empty seats. These dancers do NOT need a ticket unless they plan to sit in a seat in your row with your family. Thank you for your cooperation and patience when dropping off and picking up your child. This process may take a little bit of extra time out of your already busy day, but it is the best way we have found to ensure your child s safety! 10

11 Dress Rehearsal Information DRESS REHEARSALS are MANDATORY and run just like the recital. Please come ready in your first costume with hair and makeup done. With regard to makeup, the lights really wash you out, so please put on stage makeup foundation, blush, eye shadow that compliments your eyes and matches your costume (neutral browns are fine!), mascara and red lipstick. We will rehearse the FINALE FIRST, that way you may leave when your last dance is finished unless your teacher (or Miss Jen) has asked you to stay to re-run your piece at the end of rehearsal. We will do our absolute best to run the rehearsals on time! You do not need to be in your last costume for the FINALE rehearsal. All dancers in Combo 2 and up are in the Finale and will need their own mickey ears or can wear their hair in two high buns. All parents are asked to sit in the upper house section of the auditorium and dancers sit with their class and their chaperone. This way, they are accustomed to listening to their chaperones and going to them for help instead of their parent. Otherwise, the children may feel a bit lost at recital without their mom or dad and we want them to feel calm, comfortable and prepared!

12 SHOW TWO DRESS REHEARSAL ETIQUETTE We aim to make recital week an exciting part of the dance education experience for your Allegro dancer! After your child s rehearsal time, you are welcome to stay in the audience and watch the other dances. However, we ask that you remain quiet in the audience so our staff can facilitate the rehearsals quickly and efficiently! If anyone is making too much noise, we will ask you to wait in the lobby. It is too hard to stay on time and get the most out of these rehearsals if we are constantly asking the audience to be quiet. We only have limited time in the theater and we want to make the very best of it! THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION!

14 RECITAL VIDEOS You may pre-order recital videos. DVD copies of each recital will be available from Ave Productions, a video production company. The professional video comes complete with behind-the-scenes footage unique to each recital! We will play our previous recital videos in the lobby so you may get an idea of the quality of the production. Videos will be available for pick up late this summer at the studio. We will you when they arrive! All videos are $45 and they must be pre-ordered and pre-paid. You may order them online with your recital tickets or in the office. We order limited extra copies. You may order videos right up until the recital. Please note You may videotape during the rehearsals, but there will be absolutely NO videotaping or flash photography allowed during the recitals. This is for the safety of the performers and the copyrighted work of our photographer and videographer. RECITAL T-SHIRTS Recital 2016 logo t-shirts & tank tops will be available for purchase and must be ordered in advance. We will have a very limited amount of t-shirts for sale at the rehearsals & recital. Samples will be available to try on. This year, we are offering black v-neck & crew neck t-shirts plus white tank tops. These may be ordered online with your tickets or in the office. THE DEADLINE TO ORDER IS MONDAY, MAY 23 rd. Sample t-shirt & tank pictures coming soon 14

15 DIRECTIONS TO CHELMSFORD HIGH SCHOOL S PERFORMING ARTS CENTER 190 Richardson Road North Chelmsford, MA ROUTE 3 SOUTH 2. Take the RT-4 exit, EXIT 32, toward CHELMSFORD/N. CHELMSFORD 3. Turn RIGHT onto OLD WESTFORD RD. 4. Turn SLIGHT RIGHT onto GRANITEVILLE RD. 5. Stay STRAIGHT to go onto RICHARDSON RD. Dress Rehearsal & Recital Checklist Dance SHOES (labeled inside with a permanent marker). Extra pair of TIGHTS. Wear old tights at dress rehearsal, the stage is black - your new tights will get dirty save them for the show but always bring a backup pair! Garment bag with COSTUMES on hangers (if wearing more than one otherwise arrive in costume). Label tag with permanent marker. All ACCESSORIES (hats, gloves, hairpieces, props, earrings, etc.) NO JEWELRY unless it s part of the costume. PERFORMANCE KIT with makeup, band-aids, hair ties, hairspray, brush, tissues, safety pins, bobby pins, mini-sewing kit, extra tights, etc. Wear a button-down or zip-up SWEATSHIRT over your costume to CHS this way, you will not ruin your hair or makeup! NO UNDERWEAR underneath your costume! That s what tights (or a leotard) are for! It s like wearing a bathing suit! NO nail polish on your fingers or toes. NO fake TATTOOS and cover real ones. Bring a full WATER bottle. NO JUICE! A SNACK that won t stain!!! Pretzels are a good option! No chocolate or cheesy snacks they can ruin costumes! WARMUP as soon as you arrive to prevent injury! Younger students may want to bring a coloring book with crayons or a small game or craft to keep them occupied while waiting backstage. Please do not pack anything valuable (i.e. IPads, Nintendo DS, etc.) because things may get lost in the shuffle of the day! *It s easiest to enter right before the Harrington School. Pass Sully s Ice Cream and follow the signs for the High School Gym. The Performing Arts Center is right next to the gym and there is plenty of parking. It is helpful to bring everything you need in a small suitcase, bag or plastic tub on wheels. This way, you can store everything in one place! And if you have quick changes, you can just throw everything in the bin when are done with it! However, we do not allow Dream Duffles or large items like those because there isn t enough room in the backstage dressing rooms for them. 15
