Orientation packets

This year we have an orientation packet for all students wishing to audition and be in the Christmas show. Make sure you pick one up, read it, have a parent or guardian sign it and turn it in at the time of the audition.

Monday 7th and 8th grade class is full!

There are still openings in the Thursday 7th and 8th grade!

Crew Points are back

After a long vacation (many years) we have brought back the Crew Point system. Here is how it works:

In order to audition for the Christmas show you will need a certain amount of crew points. These are points gained for working backstage, ushering, volunteering at Grandstreet of any kind, and help in the classroom. Of course this year we will be very generous but next fall ('09) you will have to have all your crew points in order to audition. We will also give a crew point scholarship at the banquet in May to the person with the most crew points.

To record your crew points you just write your name in the crew point book that is in the classroom and record the number of points earned.

Kindergarten through 4th graders need 1 crew point.
5th through 8th graders need 2 crew points.
High School needs 3 crew points.

Examples:
Ushering for one show= 2 crew points
working backstage= 2 crew points per show
One hour of helping build a set or put costumes away=2 crew points
Helping a teacher with something in class= 1 crew point
There are other ways to earn them and teachers will give them out as they see volunteer work happening.

We feel it is important to understand that community theatre and good shows don't just happen, it takes a lot of volunteer work. Thanks!
