There is also a Google Drive link that has a linked Google Doc w/ everything you need to know about Irish Fest including arrival times, gate information, set list, etc. We will distribute information packets and tickets (for dancers ages 13+) at Lake Bluff Elementary School on Sunday, August 11th.
Sunday’s Rehearsal + Potluck:
We’ll be holding a full studio rehearsal and potluck on Sunday, August 11th at Lake Bluff Elementary School’s gym. Parents are encouraged to hang out - this is a great opportunity to meet other dance families and for friends and family to get a sneak peek of the show if they can’t attend Irish Fest.
Please bring activities for your dancer to do while they are waiting to rehearse. Dancers who have a guardian present can enjoy the playground when we are not practicing their part! Sign up to bring something to the potluck here.
Tentative Schedule:
1:00 PM - 1:15 PM: Check-in and get situated
1:15 PM - 1:45 PM: Distribute tickets and discuss Irish Fest expectations (parents should attend if this is their first Irish Fest) - bring a foldable chair if you’d like to sit!
1:45 PM - 3:00 PM: Run through numbers to address any issues (dancers can play or engage in activities when not dancing). Saturday dancers can leave or hang out after their numbers are run.
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Dress rehearsal (run the show with costumes and props)
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Review corrections and adjustments based on the dress rehearsal
Dancers: we will not be using hard shoes on the gym floor make sure to bring tennis shoes to dance in!!
This is the LAST practice before Irish Fest, so make sure to ask all your questions and ensure you have everything ready for the festival by tomorrow.
See you tomorrow!
