The day has finally arrived!

The set has been painted, the costumes sewn. The lights have been adjusted. Make-up, hairspray, gel, clips and glitter have been liberally applied. Chaos has come to the classrooms, nerves and excitement bubbling. There have been endless rehearsals and extra practices just to get the details right. Cardboard, paint, staples, masking tape, elastic and other sundry items clutter the spaces. Costumes hang from every railing and door handle. Plastic bags containing mysterious items are piled in every corner. Songs continue to echo around and around inside our heads. We wake up in the morning humming the melodies. We wake up at 3.00am and think of a few more jobs that need to be completed. We write and rewrite rehearsal schedules on the staff room whiteboard, flexibility is the name of the game! Phone calls, notices, instructions, dance choreography, ennunciation exercises, lunch time, don't forget to go to the toilet and wash your hands before you get near your costumes!
And the show begins....

I would like to acknowledge all the parents and other helpers whose contributions make it possible for us to produce our show. It has been a lot of work, but it has also been a lot of fun. It is an enormous co-operative effort, but it is well worth it for the tremendous learning experiences that the children gain.
Enjoy the show!
