Volunteers
Volunteering is a great way to connect with other parents and it’s fun! The need for volunteers is high and
we cannot execute the show without you. You will receive an online volunteer sign-up link from Sign-up
Genius where you can select and post your volunteer slots. We need 2 dads to move the floor early
on dress rehearsal day and on performance day. We need you at the studio by 7:00 AM
both days to move and install the floor in time for the first performance/ first tech rehearsal.
There is online sign up for volunteers. A link will be provided.
Dancers
Make sure you know and double check the schedules for dress and tech rehearsals. Bring all your dance
wear and be at dancer’s call on time for warm up. It is your responsibility to have all your dancewear with
you before rehearsals and performances. It is also your responsibility to check the schedule and show order
to know if you need to be at 1, 2, or all of the performances. DOUBLE CHECK!!

time so please be 10 minutes early.
Volunteers‐ We will need 1 parent to supervise each Pre‐Dance group at dress rehearsal and
performances. Please sign up online.
Backstage‐ Bring quiet games, books to keep them occupied while they wait. Sweats or PJ’s are a
great thing to have so they can sit on the floor before and after they perform.

Drop off your pre‐dancer at the North Kitsap Auditorium Theater upstairs. Check your student

the school begins. Times are approximate. Please don’t be late! We cannot leave children
unsupervised. (Dress Rehearsal schedule will be posted at the studio & emailed).
Performance:
Dancers do not need to be at the theater until 9:00am, 1:00pm and 5:00pm respectively. All

Pre‐Ballet/Tap classes will run their pieces in order of performing. They will be excused

cooperation, attention, and patience during rehearsals.

the lobby before rehearsal with the volunteer manager and go to assigned places. 3:00PM in the
lobby.
After dress rehearsal, ORGANIZE YOUR COSTUMES!! No costumes on the floor. Keep the dressing
