**As a STAR MOM, it is a good idea to arrive a bit early as you will want to get organized before the dancers arrive. STAR MOMS ARE EXPECTED TO STAY FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THE SHOW.
- You are expected to sit with your class ONLY. All dancers MUST STAY TOGETHER IN THEIR DESIGNATED AREA. Please be sure to keep track of the kids in your group throughout the evening.
- ALL DANCERS, parents and STAR MOMS are expected to enter the theater through the FESTIVAL HALL ENTRANCE during show nights.
- Dancers should arrive with their hair and makeup completely done.
- Double check make-up and that everyone looks “rosy”. Save lipstick until closer to them going on stage as it will get smudged or eaten off!
- Make sure hair is all tucked in with lots of hairspray if necessary and that all hats are SECURELY FASTENED. Extra bobby pins and safety pins are a good idea!
***Please have parents lay out their own child’s costume RIGHT when they arrive, so you can be sure nothing was forgotten and so that they will have time to go home if something was forgotten. Before they leave ensure they SIGN IN their dancer on the class list provided.
- The younger kids love to color or play Barbie’s. If you have a game or toys you think the group would enjoy, please feel free to bring it!
- Water is the best to drink as it won’t stain faces or costumes. NO Chocolate or greasy food/chips as they really make a mess of our costumes and floors!!
- Once everyone is dressed, line them up and see that they look “exactly” alike, bows in the same place, side, etc. Shoulder straps pinned etc. etc.
NO JEWELLERY OR GUM!!!!
- Please be sure that all undergarments are not seen. Tuck panties in and pin all bra straps.
Rehearsal Floor: During the show we will have a volunteer running the rehearsal floor where everyone gets a chance to run through their dance. This will run in the same order of the program. Please listen for your group to be called. It is your responsibility to make sure they do not miss their turn!
If you have a dancer who is also in another dance be sure you are aware of where they are in the program – and where they are changing so the stage runners know where to find them.
**The runners will try to keep you informed where we are in the program and call you backstage in plenty of time. They will come find your class and you will go with them to the stage.
Please don’t allow costumed dancers into the front entrance of the theater. NO DANCERS are permitted to enter the auditorium to watch the show. Bathrooms are in the gym or in the back change rooms; please do not use the ones out front.
Try to keep your group together and under control. If they run around, they may put rips in their costumes, etc. It’s also distracting for those practicing. Teenagers should not be leaving for the store and outside friends are NOT allowed in Festival Hall or backstage.
If you have fast changes or need any help please don’t hesitate to ask the other star moms. Everyone is terrific and there to help.
At the end of each night please clean up around your area and stack chairs on top of the tables and pick up garbage around you. Be sure every student is SIGNED OUT by their parent or guardian before leaving Festival Hall.
Thursday night STAR MOMS please help us out by stacking chairs and putting tables away at the end of the night.
Thanks again for volunteering to help!! I know you’ll enjoy sharing in the excitement of our big year end show!
