Hello Annie Cast and Parents!

Below is the vocal rehearsal introduction and schedule. Please note that the children WILL be released at different times throughout the rehearsal. Also, an updated general rehearsal schedule is below the vocal schedule.
NOTE FROM JOY DREYER:
I am excited to serve as vocal director for WMS’s production of Annie. Our first rehearsal will be this Friday, September 4th. I have the schedule outlined below, followed by the proposed schedule for Friday, September 11th. My plan is to spend the first part of each rehearsal working on large group numbers, and focus on smaller groups during the second half. Please check the schedule closely so that you are aware of the specific end time for your student. Only those scheduled to rehearse during the 2nd half of rehearsal need to stay, and each small group/solo will be dismissed at the end of their scheduled time.


All students should report to the choir room by 3:20, with their score, a pencil, and water.


I’m looking forward to a wonderful show!


Joy Dreyer
Vocal Director
