(Cast & Pit band Members) These students have worked extremely hard to produces these plays, and I am so proud of how they represented both our program and our school. These plays will be available to see during our 2019 SOAP Festival in May. The Festival will run from May 13,14,15,16 and is a combination of students talent from around the school and the One Act Performances from the last weekend's festival. The festival will showcase a different show, and I encourage you to come an see the tremendously talented students from the program. 21 Chump Street will be performing at Red Deer College during the Provincial One-Act festival May 9,10, and 11. Any Outstanding Provincial Forms need to be in by Thursday. Lastly, I am looking for two parents to help me with the meal planning for provincial. Let me know if you are interested.
Time is flying by, and the tour is just around the corner! Please find attached our tentative itinerary and our confirmed flight information for the Halifax tour. Our travel agent has just confirmed a workshop for us during the 'performance' day, so the itinerary will change slightly that day. We will give you an updated one after the break once I have a chance to meet with their representative over the spring break. In preparation for the festival in Halifax, any help encouraging your child to practice is very much appreciated.
Please note the check-in time at the airport is much earlier than if you were personally flying out on a domestic trip. This is because we have a large group and many items to check in, that it will take a lot of extra time. It is very important all families help ensure their child arrives at the airport on time so we can check the group in together and start processing all the tickets and baggage. Thank you! Some reminders for preparing to pack for the tour:
