to perform we will walk in formal walk style.
No talking. We will warm up in the choir room. When we get on stage Will Dwyer will roll out
our measuring guide and we will quickly find our positions for all four songs
while the band and Mrs. Jarvis are tuning.
Prop people and crew people will quickly set up the props. We have a very short time so no talking and
yelling on stage will be heard by the judges.
Do not do it. Remember to smile and give your all. If you mess up smile and keep going!!
9. When we are
finished wait on the side of the stage till the curtain closes and then line up
for formal walk. All prop people and
crew will break down set and carry back to the band room.
10. Walk with
pride in the hallway and quietly back to the auditorium to our seats. Go to our designated seats. Gentlemen, let
the ladies go down the aisle first then proceed after them. Sit down after the ladies sit. The judges are watching your every move. Stay in costume until the next two groups
performs.
11. Following
our show, our props and dress racks can
be loaded on the bus. If you are
assigned to these items, meet Mrs. R and Mrs. Celesky, Mr. Fincham in the prop
room. We will go to the bus and load the
props so we do not have to do it later.
All other students will stay in the auditorium with the other
chaperones.
12.
After the next group performs all students may go back to the classroom with
the chaperones to change. You may NOT be in the classroom at any
time without an adult. If you are found
in the classroom without a chaperone, you will be written up. No questions asked. This is a rule. Do not go even for a jacket or water.
13. For the
rest of the evening, you may watch the rest of the performances. You may get food to eat but it must be eaten
in the cafeteria. If you leave the
auditorium, you must tell your chaperone where you are going. Chaperones, please see outside duty time
below. YOU MAY NOT GO TO THE CLASSROOM
without a chaperone. You are only
allowed in the auditorium, cafeteria, and bathroom. You may not go outside without an
adult. You are not allowed anywhere else
in the school.
14. For the
awards, the captains need to be dressed.
Walk on stage with pride no matter the outcome. Everyone must be in the
auditorium/gym (powhatan) for this time.
15. After the
awards, we will get together to take a picture and then we will go to the
classroom and make sure that all is cleaned up and pristine. Mrs. Nicholson and Mrs. Miller will take you
to the bus while Mrs. R and Mrs. Celesky check the room one more time. You will get on the right bus and wait for
attendance. We are going directly home.
Make sure you use the bathroom, there are no places to stop on the way home and
it will be a miserable ride if you have to go.
When we are in Orange County or Fredericksburg, chaperones, please tell
your students to text your parents that we are 30 minutes away. Mrs. R does not want to wait in the parking
lot for 30 minutes that late. Please
tell them to be at school to pick you up.

arrive back at EVHS, make sure that you pick up all trash. I will open the building for the props,
racks, and dress bags to be placed in the classroom. Once your job is complete, you may go. Do not throw your dress bag on the floor,
hang it up!! Grades will be given for this too!!!
17. Have a good
weekend!!
If we place, we will stay, if we do not place, we will
leave after the 1st award assembly. (This is only for certain
competitions)
