*  Hair must be done for this rehearsal as if it were the performance. Please NO COSTUMES or MAKEUP.  
*  If you plan on staying, please try and park close to the car next to yours to fit as many cars as we can in the parking lot. You may also parallel park along the side of the building and along the tree side of the street and feel free to block Caitlin’s car in. You may park in the hair salon parking lot ONLY IF THE TOY STORE IS CLOSED. Please do not block the garage doors to the auto shop.  
*  This will probably not be a good day to ask questions regarding the performance. Please try to address any questions you may have prior to this day. You may also call 978-852-7298 or email info@NashobaValleyDanceAcademy.com.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation.  

To avoid parking lot issues please arrive no later then the scheduled time. We ask that everyone get ready upstairs to avoid chaos in the doorway. Please leave all outdoor shoes upstairs. The shelf downstairs is too small to fit everyone’s shoes on this day.

Picking up your child – We ask that only one adult pick up each child or family. This will eliminate chaos in the doorway and hallway. Please make a single file line along the side of the hallway. Students will be dismissed in their groups. We will announce each group and ask that only parents of that group move toward the front to get their children. Then you may exit toward the lobby once you have picked up your child. Students may not leave the backstage area unless an adult is there to pick them up.  Please be patient…we want to make sure every child is matched to a parent.  
Doors to the theater will open approximately ½ hour before the performance.
Tickets will be on sale prior to the show in the lobby. Checks or cash only please, no credit cards will be accepted.
Photography is not permitted during the performance. The flash is distracting to the dancers and the screen of the camera/phone is distracting to those seated behind you. Professional photos will be available to purchase online after the show. Info can be found at www.nashobavalleydanceacademy.com.
Enclosed is a DVD order form. VIDEOTAPING DURING THE PERFORMANCE WILL BE STRICTLY PROHIBITED. The DVD’s will be very high quality. Last year’s DVD was great! You may mail order forms directly to Joe Spanos, drop them off in the black box at the studio or drop them in the box in the lobby of the theater the day of the performance. Please make checks payable to Joe Spanos.
Thank you!
