Reminders & Upcoming Events:

  • Rehearsal next week will look a little different because of the choir concert. No rehearsal Monday, our weekly 6-9 rehearsal is Tuesday instead. Please refer to the CTMB calendar. Show Day Volunteers are needed at this rehearsal also for one final run of show operations.
  • The BOA itinerary and behavior contract will be coming home with your child this week. Behavior contracts are due back, signed, by Monday Sept. 16. Every member has access to a digital copy of the itinerary already.
