We won’t be having a parent meeting,however if any parents have any questions please feel free to call or email us or to drop by for a visit. IMPORTANT: Please go to the Texas Thespian website for : Speaking of “Festival Rules”we spoke about that in length today as the rules are very specific. We ask that each student and parent take a look over the rules to make sure we don’t inadvertently break any as there are SERIOUS with their consequences. (the purpose of course is to make the trip a safe and enjoyable one for everyone.) Other notes: Transportation: • On Thursday,December 1st,students must be dropped off at the school by 7:45 am. We will be leaving on a bus at 8 am. It had been suggested that student drivers are dropped off as well so cars are not left unattended at the school. • 1 bag per student. Purses and I.E event supplies may be separate. • Every student must ride on the bus.
Hotel: • There is a hired security guard that will monitor the rooms of troupe 7372 to make sure we are safe and protected if an issue should occur. • Room Curfew is 11:30. Subject to change at a director’s discretion based upon festival events. • Lights out means lights out. If horse play should transpire after ‘lights out’ curfew,repercussions will be given. • Everyone will leave and return to the hotel together. No one is allowed leave the festival to return to the hotel without director’s consent.
Festival: • Badges should be worn around the neck at all times. Failure to do so will result in loss of festival privileges. • There should be groups of at least 3 people at all times. No one is allowed to roam alone. • Students must eat in the assigned times. • Students must attend workshops the entire time. If caught roaming,badges will be removed and festival privileges will be in jeopardy. • Everyone must attend main stage shows with the entire troupe. • NO BAD MOUTHING SHOWS! You never know who is listening. • Make sure to write in your journal what workshops and shows you have attended. The trip is always a wonderful one where our students learn so much about all aspects of the theatre and performance not to mention they have lots of fun! And,the chance to compete against the best in the state and the opportunity to qualify for Nationals is huge.
