Just a friendly reminder that at the beginning of this process....

, , , ,

Parents signed contracts stating that they understood attendance was mandatory for the week of the show. No exceptions, please. I know we are all busy. We have spent a LOT of time, money and energy to make your students look awesome in the production, but we need them there the week of the show. I totally understand the give and take leading up to that week, but I really do need them there from Monday on. Thanks so much.

Hello everyone!! I know there have been lots of questions about HAIR & MAKEUP! Here is the post!!

, ,

If you missed any of the videos on the “how-to” for makeup then click HERE.

CHORUS CAMP- arrive at your call time with full munchkin makeup. GIRLS HAIR should be out of their face. You can wear it straight, curly, low ponytail, low bun, half up, braids, etc. they will be wearing something on their heads so nothing high. BOYS HAIR should be combed neatly and parted on the side or in the middle. They will also be wearing something on their heads. 

EMERALD CITY CHORUS/OZIANS-  arrive at your call time with basic stage makeup. GIRLS HAIR should be out of their face. You can wear it straight, curly, hair up, in a bun. We will know more specifically how their hair should be done when they are fitted in their costumes. Some may have hats. BOYS HAIR- neatly combed/styled

MUNCHKINS(those not called at 4)- arrive at your call time with full munchkin makeup. GIRLS HAIR should be out of their face. You can wear curls, half up, ponytail, or bun. Once they are fitted in their costumes we’ll know better what to tell you to do with their hair. Some with have hats, flower pots, etc. BOYS HAIR: if your munchkin does not have a secondary part then you can have some fun with their hair. I have posted several examples of munchkin hair. 

CROWS/DANCING JITTERBUG TREES- arrive at your call time with basic stage makeup. Makeup video is posted on Martin Musicals page. GIRLS need a high bun(unless they have the early call time, then their hair will be done at the Durant)

JITTERBUGS/TORNADO- arrive at your call time with basic stage makeup MINUS LIPSTICK. HAIR in a bun. 

Forgive me if I missed your actor and please bring it to my attention in the comments. Let me know if there are any questions.

DANCERS must be in costume base all week to begin practicing costume changes.

, , ,

Costumes: I have a couple of costume notes here.  So read this entire post please.

, , ,

1. Chorus Camp, if I missed checking your costume base today you can just send me a picture on messenger of your kids in their base, or just the base you have and kids name, and I will check them off my list.  

 

2.  I spoke to a couple of mom’s on the first workday, who said their girls would bring their own black leotards.  I can’t remember who all told me this.  Would you remind me in the comments if this was you.

 

3.  A big thank you to the amazing parents who helped me out on costume today for work day!!!
