FINAL PERFORMANCE!!!

Performance Information

INFORMATION FOR THE PARADE --

For the parade route, see the Buffalo BIlls Day page -- http://www.buffalobilldays.com/parade.php

The parade starts at 10. However, we are 37th out of 70ish, so we are in the middle. Please drop your children off at 9:15 at 10th and Washington (map attached). I think Washington is closed right there at 10th, so I "think" we can drop of kids there... but I don't know for sure.

PLEASE ARRIVE ON TIME! Please plan on extra time to get to Golden and find where we are. Google says it takes 32 min to get there. There will be a lot of people there, and it will be hard o find places to park. It also won't be easy to find us with so many involved in the parade. We will be in our staging area by 8, if you want to come early. Please also remind us or let us know if your child isn't participating in the parade so we aren't worried about waiting for them.

We will have teachers there ready to escort children to the float by 9:15, and will stay until 9:40. You are welcome to come back, as well, but the road is closed to cars. Each year is different, so just be ready to do whatever the policemen tell you, of where you can and cannot go with your cars.

Bring --

- Water

- Wear Suncreen

- Yellow MTTS Shirt, Shorts, tennis shoes, and a hat if desired

- Blanket/Old sheet to sit on (not everyone needs one, so if you don't have one you want hay on, don't worry)

PLEASE have your student use the restroom before. There aren't restrooms at the parade and they won't be able to go once they are on the float.

PLEASE take pictures and video for us -- you can send them to us after.

At the end of the parade, we will drive a few blocks to Kafador Commons where you can pick your children up. Map Here -

There is a nice grassy area just east of the Rec center that we will be meeting in. You will see us in our yellow shirts. Please remember to take kiddos to the bathroom BEFORE we get to the Rec center. We can not overrun the Rec center will yellow shirts. We will go over our songs, and finish taking individual pictures. After the show is done, we will go back outside to take class and a big group picture.

We will need 2-3 parent helpers to help with the masses of people, so if anyone is available to stay and help we would love it.

With so many kiddos, we will have a separate truck just for our Starlets. So this could be a regular size truck.

We are SO proud of the kids!

We had a great rehearsal, and we are so proud of the work the kids did today! They have been practicing on their own, and you can tell! We are learning so fast, we are going to start learning a new song next week! Keep practicing, and working on those words and dance moves.

 

Couple of answers to questions we heard today, so we thought we would pass them on.

Why are some of the words different on the vocals than what is on the wordsheet?

We wanted to make sure the words were age appropriate for all the kids to sing, so we modified them a little. Learn what is on the wordsheet.

What times are the performances? Here is the basic info, you will have more details coming. Tell your friends and families to save the dates. ALL performance are free!

July 12th -- 10:00 at Southlawn Park - Arrive at 9:30

July 26th - Parade in Golden - Parade starts at 10 - I bet around 9 is staging time.

When do we get TShirts?

We will be ordering TShirts this week, and we will pass them out on July 9th. Don't worry, if you aren't there, we will bring them to the show.

We are going to need some help for our Parade July 26th!

Things we are looking for:

A big truck and a long trailer, does anyone have connections??

A few bales of hay. 6-10 ish? We will be sitting them on the truck, so we return them when we are done.

With so many kiddos, we will have a separate truck just for our Starlets. So this could be a regular size truck.

Helpers - we need helpers to decorate our float. We are creative, but not when it comes to decorating!! We'll get all the supplies, we just need a decorating leader to tell us what to do, and some minions to do it. :)

My Time to Shine is coming to Brighton!

Leslie Zirker and Jen Kroff will be teaching My Time to Shine this summer in Brighton!  They are finishing up Peter Pan at the Armory this weekend, and are excited to indroduce this great program to this community.

Do you have a child that has musical talent? Or even a child that just can’t help but tap their foot to the radio?

Bring them to My Time to Shine this summer, not only to learn, but to grow! We’ll teach your kids the basics—from do re mi to step-touch—in a fun and professional environment. The once-a-week commitment will keep them on their toes and leave you with a morning to yourself.

We are committed to teaching wholesome musical theater while providing opportunities that will build character and develop confidence. Musical theatre has the ability to bring joy to those performing and those watching, our summer workshop is no exception it will exceed your expectations! We cannot wait to teach your child.

With just one class a week, for seven weeks, your child can gain musical theatre experience and meet new friends while still enjoying their summer activities.  Four community performances will generate confidence each time your child is on stage! 

Starlets (Ages 3-5)

An active fun class that will focus on teaching familiar exciting songs with simple dance movements to develop coordination and confidence

Blaze (Ages 6-8) 

This class will provide an energizing environment that introduces musical harmony and dance techniques to provide fun and dynamic performances

Flash (Ages 9-11)

This class combines musical rhythms with simple dance technique.  It will challenge hand eye coordination and develop confidence for performing on stage.

 

Glitz (Ages 12-15)

Get excited about gaining some dance technical training; turning, leaping, balance and expression while learning some of Broadway's most popular music.

Sparks (16 +) 

This class will embrace Broadway and all its levels of dedication. It will focus on performance, music precision, dance technique and character development to create a magnetic performance.

AND yes, it is affordable!  One low price, with everything included - Shirt, music, pictures, performances, and of course, a whole lot of FUN!!!

Take a look at the fun things we have done over the last few summers in Littleton on our facebook page - My Time to Shine. 

Send us an email to get on our mailing list, and we will forward our flier to you.
