there are posters down the ramp, gym hallway, on the doors of locker rooms, bathrooms, etc. i can come in on monday and hang more posters if you would like.
i also need to figure out who is selling tickets at the door for all performances (we need one student and one adult), and i also need 4 ushers per night. so if anyone would be able to help me out, it would be greatly apprectiated. :]
Thanks Kasey. One point. Now, where are they in the community?
MjB
no where that i know of yet. i'll grab some on monday and try to get them around. do you have any places in mind that you want them? and what time should i come on monday?
Currently, I have two posters in my moms truck that I was planning to ask my dad to put up at his work. Moyer's and Sons moving company. If that is ok with you, Mr.Bair.
Yes, but I know that Brianna and Kelechi put some up in the community. I really need to have a conversation with Rachel....
MjB
to answer 19 i know of Arie (thats prolly spelled wrong sorry) and brianna did very well so i hope she will help out but beside me and arie i know of no one else :(
i do know my lines i know it doesnt show (thats not an excuse just true) i, like you said, NEED to stay focused!!
Chey-Dawg
I'm coming at 9 tomorrow morning to absolutely finish the painting.
It's about time.
I'm going to paint the pillar things that we taped (at least on one side), the doors, the border around the top, and anything else that might need done.
Will you be there tomorrow morning Mr. Bair?
Also, I believe that it was Wyatts bellboy hat laying on sidestage... I should have picked it up.
I know of many many individuals attending LMaT.
Mandy got her friend Stephanie to come help with makeup and hair on Thursday night.
IF YOU'RE A GIRL AND YOU HAPPEN TO SEE THIS, WEAR YOUR HAIR IN CURLERS FOR TOMORROW.
One last thing.
I believe that Jacob Reese is missing a costume for the first part. I don't think the tweed pants fit him.... I could probably get some pants for him.
Ya...phew... I'm exhausted.
Kasey I could probably help you on monday if I can find a ride and Depending if I am needed to be a stage hand for both shows I could probably be an usher for the show.
As far as sound goes Mr. Bair, I'm hoping to be able to do it successfully tomorrow(no promises) but I am going to totally organize the cues tomorrow also(after practice) so if I don't get it totally right tomorrow, I should(again no promises) by Monday. :D
-Cody J.
The only things that I know are missing from props are a chianti bottle, a larger vanity case/ small suitcase and another coat, unless that goes with costumes...
So does anyone have an empty chiantu bottle?

^^^ bottle ^^^
No Cody. Tomorrow is a dress rehearsal. Matt promises me that all is ready. You can't miss anything by the end of the day tomorrow. That needs to be a promise. :)
MjB
STILL NO RACHEL.
MjB
Okeedoke Mr. Bair I will get the sounds on cue. It should be easier now that I have all the sounds on one CD, so I will do it! :P
-Cody J.
I may actually have those props tomorrow...If we find them (and there is a very good chance we can), my mommy said she'll bring the bottle and case to rehersal on her way past the school around 1:00. :)
yes, you have maria's coming tomorrow at 10.
concessions will be fine, I realize it's probably too late to get a desk built and I apologize but everything else should look nifty. I will make a sign-up sheet for food tomorrow. Also I will go talk to Mrs. Sumpter on Monday if she's there and Tuesday if she's not. I will also help Kasey find ushers because I was going to do it but she's awesome and took it on herself.
yes I did bring socks...well panty hose, and a slip, and an undershirt.
Fear not....I have a great idea for your desk.

If work is still needed to be done on the powerpoint, I can get there early tomorrow to work on it.
I don't think it's finished. In fact, the whole project has fallen into the hands of Brian Kough, and well, that is quite unfair to Brian. It's definitely not his responsibility.
MjB
*sigh*
Sorry.
Alora,
It wasn't your responsibility either. You just kind of jumped on it. I appreciate what you did with it.
MjB
In answer to numbers 11 and 12, Yes, and yes- I just never saw an opportune time to do so with there constantly being people and things moving about on stage, as well as being pulled away by others to do various odd jobs.
-Kevin
I could possibly be an usher, if I can find a ride.
2 IMPORTANT THINGS!!! number one- If I knew exactly what you needed a powerpoint of (I AM BEAST AT POWERPOINT!) I could help and promise that everything would be done quite fast (one night guarantee)...my reasoning for this is that I've done full 20 slide powerpoints in one night easily (I procrastinated on my homework alot last year)
SECOND! If my parents are kind enough to allow me, I would be more than willing to be Usher on Friday. "yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah"- Usher from the song...Yeah
The anwser to #11 is yes Mr.Bair I'll take care of it when we get back on tuesday.
Hey Kasey if you check this let me know if you need help monday. If you don't check at e-mail at my g-mail account its the same as my screen name here.
Could someone tell me times for the shows on Thursday and Saturday? And if those days include Life 'O The Party, and A Marriage Proposal. I was really hoping to see them, and actually don't even know when they are, or what time. So if anyone could inform me, that would be terrific so I can take off work. Also, Joseph Richards has offered to photograph the show, depending on if he can get off of work as well.
So, if someone could let me know, and if there is any thing I could do to help in the last minute preparations, let me know.
Brandi
Kasey!
Where is that list of names you typed?
MjB
they are saved on either the HP or the kingston flashdrive on LMaT Final Copy in my folder
Thanks Kasey. Did you say I would see you tomorrow?
MjB
5. I had to leave before getting the chance to edit them. I beleive I scribbled a note on the 'to do' paper in the booth, but I didn't get a chance to tell Morgan, so I can do that tomorow morning. I need to ask you something about that anyway.
12. Yes, and that is on Wednesday morning! ^^
14. There's one up at my Mom's work, if you're talking about beyond the school
15. I know a handful or people who will be attending
24. I'm confident we can.
WHAT TIME IS PRACTICE TOMOROW? I forget ><
We are scheduled to rehearse from 9:00-12:00 and 4:00-8:00. If you can't make both, that's fine. Just let me know. "Life of the Party" and "A Marriage Proposal" are rehearsing in the 12:00-3:00 window. Contact your director for further details.

Haha, I had a feeling you would need your list posted.
Also, Young Frankenstein should have been added.
That's all :)
you're welcome!
If #19 is refering to Lend Me A Tenor then probably cheyann and Arie. If # 19 refers to the other shows then it is Candy, Sam and I think Iliana.
Good luck tonight guys.
