Annie, Jr.: Hair Requirements and Reminders

March 17-19, 2016

March 14, 2016

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Show week for Annie, Jr. is upon us! This will be a very exciting, but demanding week for everyone. To help make things run as smoothly as possible, please remember to send your child to school each night with everything they need. Students should arrive in costume with their hair done (requirements outlined below) and face cream applied.

Between their costume layers, the bright lights, dance numbers, and their excitement, the students will feel some heat on the stage. Please be sure that they are well rested, fed, and hydrated before each performance. Avoid strong smells, such as perfume and sprays, and consider application of deodorant/antiperspirant.

Reminders:

  • Only APPROVED costumes may be worn. Students are not permitted to change their costume elements without a director’s approval.
  • Please remove all jewelry unless it is part of your approved costume (ie. earrings).
  • Only solid white undershirts and camisoles should be worn under white button down shirts (colors and logos can easily be seen through the material under the bright lights).
  • All boys and female servants/audience chorus need to have their shirts tucked in.
  • Costumes will be worn home each night to be cleaned and prepared for the next performance.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Annie, Jr. Production Team
