Notes 07/20/2014

Before we get to the notes, I wanted to say THANK YOU! I appreciate everything you're doing to make this show great! I also want you to know that I appreciate you being so patient as we made it through today. I know it wasn't easy. I'm very excited to put it all together. 

Sadly, tonight (Monday) we will not have the orchestra. I will try and edit the songs so that they are closer to how they will be with the orchestra. Just bear with me.

Some things to do: 

1. If you ordered t-shirts, I need your money so that I can actually go and pay for the shirts. 

2. If you have invited people to come and see the show on Tuesday, please let ME know how many and names. I'd like to make a list and I need to let the Karen know how many people to expect. 

3. If you haven't paid Judy for lunch, please do so!  BTW...wasn't that fantastic?  THANK YOU Judy! You rock! 

4. If you haven't already, turn in your scripts and music books to Shannon so that she can mark your name off of the list. 

Please, when you're not on stage, continue to work on things relating to the show. Tappers, please run the tap over and over. Waltzers, Waltz when you can. Groups, work on your parts of numbers and so on. Just try to make it all as smooth as possible. You have no idea how beautiful it's looking and sounding and it's all because of your hard work. We're so close now, don't stop. Let's really knock these peoples' socks off! 

I think that's it. As always, please reply to let me know that you've read. If you need to tell me something or have a question to ask, remember to reply to only me. 

THANK YOU!!!
