'Hansel and Gretal' & '2008 Dance Spectacualr'

As I'm sure you are all aware our end of year concert is rapidly approaching. This year we are doing a ballet pantomine of Hansel and Gretal as well as our usual dance spectacular to showcase the talents of the tap and jazz students.
There is a lot of hard work going on in regards to costumes, thank you to janelle and carol for you efforts, so please start organsing payment for those as soon as possible.
All the routines are coming together nicely and with only a couple more rehearsals attendance is crucial as finishing touches will be made and polishing of dances done to ensure we perform at our best.
I will also be collecting money to purchase flowers and a small gift for out teachers (Margaret Peate, Marilyn Stratford and Angela Croft), I will be asking for $3 per student this year and this can be paid to me or any of the senior students at any upcoming rehearsals.
Rehearsal and performance dates will be listed seperately in the next post.

Thanks
Maddie

Welcome back all

A bit delayed I know but I just wanted to say welcome back to everyone after the holidays.
As you're probably aware the eistedford is coming up in july. If we want to perform well we need to practice hard in all classes. I'm sure that no matter what we're all going to have heaps of fun just showing what we can do.
I'll post all the dates for the group performances as soon as I know when they are so that we can be well prepared.
Thanks to the Vigilones for the photos from the 2007 concert. I would still love to get more from anybody who has them.
