Volunteering

Just a quick update on volunteering because I know many of you are eager to start setting up when and where you will be helping with the show!  Emails and/or sign up sheets will be available after winter break so keep your eyes out.  If anything has changed and there's an area you would really like to help with but you didn't put that on your form OR if something has changed so that you won't be able to help like you initially thought, please let me know! 

See you soon!
Michelle

Ticket Packets & Volunteer Applications

We had a great rehearsal last night!  The music is really coming along and I'm sure it's going to be a great show. 

Ticket Packets will be distributed starting tonight.  As a reminder, payments will need to be made in cash and may be turned in at any time up until March 9th.  Feel free to turn in payments a few at a time if you are more comfortable with that.  I will always have additional packets ready at rehearsals if you turn in one and need another. 

If you (or a family member) are hoping to help with rehearsals or performances (supervision, make up, stage crew, etc...) and you have not been fingerprinted with the City of Gilroy, please be sure to fill out a Volunteer Application form (sign both sides) and turn it in to me ASAP.  I will be turning in the applications in a week or two so that finger printing packets can then be issued and prints can be processed in time! 

Thank you for a great start!
