I would like bug hunters to dress as such for our Showcase. NICE bug hunters though! Buggies dress up as your bug! Feel free to use sparkles and face paint as we discussed in class. Have fun!

I am so proud of "Our Gang"! Let's have fun! Speak clearly, sing with heart and give it all you've got!! Bravo Folks!!

Auditions/ Callbacks- Teacher: Noelle Kerr

Please wear CYT appropriate dance attire with jazz or ballet shoes and hair back and out of the face for the showcase. This can be, but not limited to jazz pants, dance shorts, leotard, T-shirt, sweat pants, sweat bands, leg warmers, tights, etc. Makeup simple but enough to not be washed out under the lights.

I am so proud of ALL of you! You have already learned a lot, gaining much experience in all elements of auditions and callbacks that everyone of you will have stronger and greater experiences and results to be proud of! In addition to the vocal, dance, cold readings/singing I am looking forward to hearing all the monologues next week and to our final professional audition. The stellar showcase I am especially excited for!

Harmonies & Duets- Teacher: Nancy Casey 

Black pants or skirt with a white blouse/shirt  classy look! Dress it up with stage makeup and great hair!

Come early for class time to warm-up and rehearsal on the stage. Invite family and friends to share in this experience. Love you guys…great work!!

Opportunity Baskets- An "Opportunity" to Support Our Show!

Dear CYT Families,

One important way we can support CYT and our show, The Little Mermaid, is by donating items for our Opportunity Baskets.  Your child will be bringing home a flyer that explains the baskets the Souvenir Team is planning for and the kinds of items we are looking for.  The flyer is also attached with this email for your convenience.  Please deliver donations to any class night or rehearsal - there will be a basket by the front doors of the church, or feel free to give to Nicole Jiles for safekeeping.  Please also keep in mind if you or anyone you know has a business or service and can donate, we would love to feature them in our Opportunity Baskets.  In addition to being announced at intermission, they will also be acknowledged in our printed show program.  (Past donations have included massages, sporting event tickets, restaurant gift cards, salon services, amusement park tickets, museum tickets, etc.). 

Thank you so much for your generosity in helping to make our Opportunity Baskets a success!  We couldn’t do it without you.

Here is the flyer to help you as you gather items for the baskets. Opportunity Basket Flyer

Class Schedule Update!!

It has come to my attention that there were some discrepancies in the class calendar for this session. While all of the San Diego area classes have been scheduled to take off the week of April 17-23 for Easter Break, there were some publishing errors which listed the following week (April 24-30) instead. I wanted to clarify and correct that error. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Your children will be receiving a hand out in class day this week reminding all of our families that we will not have class on Tuesday, April 19th. I hope you all enjoy a joyous holiday with your loved ones!
