SCHOOL MUSICAL
The Musical Production Class for our spring musical, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang will be starting on Monday and we’ll be giving the students a disclosure for you to sign along with your student. We are compiling the parent volunteer list and we’ll be sending out a Sign-Up Genius for positions that still need to be filled. We will have ALL CAST rehearsals Monday through Thursday through the month of January and Fridays 17th and 24th from 12:30-2:30 and then will increase into February and March. Please look at www.wjhfinearts.weebly.com for an up to date schedule. Each week we’ll send updated information in the weekly newsletter and posting it on the website and we’ll start sending out parent emails on a weekly basis starting next week. Please email wasatchjrmusical@gmail.com if you have questions in regards to the musical that you need an immediate response to. Please keep in mind you may want to hold off on questions until we get through the first week of the class and rehearsal as many questions will be answered. Thank you so much!
