• Lucy play to the audience more



• ENERGY!

• quieter feet



• the 2 lines that you make in Charlie Brown are too close to center. Liz your line was way too close to center

Wow! That is a lot to notes and ALL are important! I wanted you guys to know that Mrs. Dreyer said that the improvement made since spring break is remarkable! I agree. We still have LOTS of work but you guys have done great! And I appreciate your hard work. Rehearsals the rest of the week are as follows:

• Wed (tomorrow) after school until 4:30



• Thursday - lunch rehearsal



• Friday - we will start at 12:05 and run until 2:15 (I need to know if you have a conflict) - We will do a FULL run thru!

Please respond with a comment by tomorrow at 8:30. Include in your comment on note that was for you or something that you think you need to improve in the next rehearsal. I do expect the notes made on the blog to be read and then the adjustments to be made in the rehearsal tomorrow.
