MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS/SCHEDULE FOR NEXT WEEK

HELLO CAST!!!!!

I WILL SEE YOU ALL THIS FRIDAY, JANUARY 29 FROM 2:45 - 4:45 P.M. If I need you less, I'll let you go, but we'll be singing some big chorus numbers.

Here is next week's schedule:

Monday, February 1 - Sebastian, 2:45-4:45, Triton, 3:30-4:45, Ariel/Eric, 4:00-4:45.

Tuesday, February 2 - Scuttle and Gulls, 2:45-4:45

Wednesday, February 3 - Chef Louis and Chefs,
2:45-3:45

Thursday, February 4 - 2:45-4:45 - FULL CAST (unless otherwise told)

Friday, January 29 rehearsal

At this time, because we are already behind our original schedule due to my issues, we will be meeting as a FULL CAST this Friday at 3:00 p.m. There will be many announcements, and also more explanations of what we're doing on Saturday, our first costume build day. Some of you will be dismissed at that time, and others will stay to rehearse.

REMEMBER--WE NEED YOU TO BRING ANY KIND OF TRIMS, FABRIC SCRAPS, TRIMMING, BUTTONS, SPARKLY THINGS--IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, BRING IT! We will decide if we can use it. 

Costume building is going to be so fun and cool! Even if we're not working on your costume, we will also be doing paper mache for a piece of the "coral reef" in Triton's den. 

WE NEED LOADS OF NEWSPRINT! NOT THE GLOSSY KINDS, BUT REGULAR BLACK AND WHITE NEWSPAPER.

Schedule Change, and Other Info

Attention, cast! The schedule has been changed for this week. Here's the current changes...

Tuesday: No musical rehearsal.

Wednesday: Eric/Ariel from 3:00 to 4:00, Ursula from 4:00 to 5:00.

Thursday: Mersisters from 3:00 to 5:00, Flounder from 4:00 to 5:00.

Friday: Everyone from 3:00 to 3:45, Sailors and Sea Creatures from 3:00 to 5:00.

That's it for the schedule changes, now for the other stuff...

There have been only 20 people, as of this post, that have signed up to receive the posts by email with two of those still having to complete the process. We have around 40 to 50-some people in our cast, and though nearly half is something, we need EVERYONE to sign up. If you having problems (ie. it asks you to sign-in to a Google account in order to subscribe using a non-Google account) please ask. If you are having the Google problem just mentioned, just simply make a Google account. It doesn't take much and it will still subscribe you to the email of your choice, not the Google one you just made. If you are still having problems with this or don't understand what was just said, just let Gorman, Scott, or I (Daniel Rodriguez) know so that I may help you.

That's it for now, see you at rehearsal!

Next Week's Schedule

Howdy, cast, here's a picture of the schedule for next week incase you need a reminder...
Again, the music read-through will not be rescheduled (at least not currently). Therefore, the current schedule is accurate for next week. You will be notified if something changes. There is a document showing the most up-to-date schedule that is constantly updated; this is available for you on the "Schedule" page.
That's it for now! Be sure to check back regularly!

Rehearsal Cancelled For Today!

Howdy, cast. As you may have heard, rehearsal has been cancelled for today. We apologize for the confusion. We're going to skip the music run through (at least for now) so the schedule you were given yesterday is still accurate.
That's it for now, have a great weekend!

Welcome, Cast & Crew

Welcome, cast and crew, to our information blog for this year's Jonathan Alder High School musical: The Little Mermaid! This year, the blog was made by me (Daniel Rodriguez), and will be updated by not only me, but Gorman and Scott as well. Just like last year, this will be the central area for all updates regarding the entirety of the show. Unlike last year, you will need to subscribe to the blog on the right-hand side of the page. This is so that, when we post, you get emailed the post (though, there is a couple-hour lag, so you should still check the blog consistently). Now, because your Alder gmail accounts are administrated by Alder, there is a restriction from subscribing to the blog with your Alder accounts. So, how do we fix this? Use your personal account (make sure that you have it connected to your phone, so that you get notified when you get mail). This is mandatory, and everyone involved must subscribe.

So, let's talk about where you can find everything...
The tabs above the posts is your directory to some of the most important information you'll need to know. And, it will always be up-to-date. These are the tabs and what you'll find there:

Schedule: As you may have already figured out, this is where you'll find the schedule document that will be your "master" schedule. If something on the "master" schedule is updated, there will be a blog post along with it, notifying the change.

Ticket Info: All the information regarding tickets, from dates, to times, to prices, to even "Sold Out" notifications, will be in this tab. As there is no current ticket info, the page is still "Coming Soon."

Songs: All the songs from the musical will be listed here; and, eventually, you'll be able to download and listen to the entire soundtrack. You do have to sign in using your Alder gmail in order to do so though, this is so that it stays between us.

Prop/Set Pieces: All props or set pieces that are needed will be listed here. If you have something that may work, bring it up to Gorman or Scott and/or bring it in. This will definitely be a major need for the production, so, bring in anything and everything you can that could help.

Production Pics: This will be the page containing "in the making" photos over our 3 months of production. It is meant to archive the show as it evolves from start to finish, so don't forget to smile!

Cast: This page will simply have the cast list.

Costumes: This page will host a list of things we have, and things we need to have for costumes. So, if you have something that could work, bring it in!

Now for the other windows around the posts:

Whatcha Look'n For?: This is the "search" box where you can search for something specific and get related results.

Get Notified When We Post!: This is where you'll sign up to receive our posts via email. Just type in your email address that you want to receive the posts and click "Submit" to complete the registration. You cannot use your Alder gmail for this because there are restrictions that don't allow it.

Blog Archive: This will show a timeline of every post made. It's arranged with the earliest at the top and the latest at the bottom.

Labels: And, lastly, this is where posts are arranged by labels. Labels help organize posts about related subjects. A label such as "Set Help" would organize all the posts regarding set and what is needed.

That's it for the introduction. I hope you find this blog useful and easy to use. If you have any issues or questions with this, just notify Gorman and I (Daniel Rodriguez) and we'll either help you or fix whatever the problem is. I hope you're as excited as I am to make this production great!

From, Daniel Rodriguez
