Hi Moana Jr. campers and families,
Today was a very exciting day here at Rock Ridge. The students got to have their rehearsal on the auditorium stage!
They spent time in the performance space walking through the show and making sure all the students were aware of the spacing differences between their rehearsal room and the performance space.
Outside of that, they also got to watch the youth cast run through everything they've learned so far on the stage. The 4-10 campers were an incredible audience, even giving the youth campers a standing ovation once they finished!
Finally, they broke up into their small groups and began writing mini skits that they'll be able to present to the rest of their cast later this week.
It was a very full day here at Broadway Bound, so be sure to check out our recap video below! We also have a second video highlighting our Mountain Cast!
We will see all our campers back here tomorrow morning!

COSTUMES
Reminders
1. PICKUP TIME - Pickup starts promptly at 3:45. We ask that parents arrive as close to that time as possible so students aren't left to sit with our staff past camp's close
2. DROPOFF - When dropping off your students for the day, please pull all the way up. We ask that you don't park and get out of your cars to bring your students in the building, or allow your student to walk across the parking lot to arrive every day. It can be a safety issue and we don't have staff designated to watch traffic and crossing lanes for students.
3. SUPPLIES - Please make sure students pack pencils and highlighters in their clear bins every day. This is important for them to take notes to help remember all they learn for the show throughout the day.
4. SCRIPTS - Please make sure campers bring their scripts every single day. They need them in order to keep up in all rehearsals during camp.
5. MASKS - Students are still required, per LCPS policy, to wear masks while inside LCPS school facilities. Please don't forget to pack your campers a mask, and extras, when they arrive for camp every day.
6. JAZZ SHOES - If your camper doesn't have their jazz shoes yet, we ask them to have them by Monday 7/19 at the latest. Please go ahead and order them if you haven't already done so.
7. OFF BOOK DATE - The directors have set their off book date as Monday. This means students will no longer be able to use their script in rehearsals. They will also need to know all their choreography and vocal parts by this date.
Practicing
Our directing teams and stage managers have been taking videos of the students to help them practice. They are linked below. Please encourage your student to use them so they are ready for rehearsals every day.
Also, linked below, are some practice vocal and accompaniment tracks along with pronunciation guides.
Jazz Shoes
JAZZ SHOES
Please make sure that your child has Jazz Shoes ready to go for the first day of Camp! We highly recommend you buy these early. While we will be providing a costume for every student, we do not provide shoes. Please visit Amazon and type in "JAZZ SHOE." They can be either tan or black. HERE IS A LINK TO SOME JAZZ SHOES ONLINE

WHAT TO BRING
Clear Bins
CLEAR BINS
We request that all students bring their materials in a clear bin. No book bags. This allows us to help students quickly and efficiently find materials. Additionally, the clear bin is a great way for students to store things in a tidy way. Would you please not bring book bags to the program? We strongly recommend a large enough bin to fit a folder, a lunch box, shoes, make-up, and misc. Items.
Here is the Link we are recommending from Amazon.
LUNCHES
Please steer clear of anything with nuts, as we have a few students with severe nut allergies.
