Central Valley Public Schools

Reminder that tonight is ALADDIN dress rehearsal for all cast, crew and middle school choir from 6-9. Full costumes and mics tonight! The PTO will be providing a meal. Message Ms.Baker if you have questions.

Great work, CVE's March Cougar Community Recognition winners! Our Star Student winners did an awesome job of working on RESPECT all month long. Special thank you to Mrs. Angie Boyce, Mrs. Whitney Wurst, Mrs. Jeni Leth, Mrs. Lori Edwards, and Mrs. Chris Salber for their commitment and dedication to making Cougar Nation the very best! Keep up the great work, Cougar Nation!

This is a reminder that Aladdin rehearsal is this morning from 9 AM to 12 PM at the auditorium. Students who are in middle school choir only do not need to attend unless they have been cast in other roles. Rehearsal for the whole cast, crew and choir will be tomorrow night and Thursday night from 6 to 9 PM. Please contact Miss Baker if you have questions or need clarification.

This is a clarification regarding Aladdin T-shirts. The purple Aladdin t-shirts being ordered from the Ord Quiz are optional and NOT a requirement for students in the show. These are just a "souvenir" from the show if you want one. Also, if you missed ordering a T-shirt this first time around, we will be setting up a second round of orders. Students that are in choir and/or part of the village of Agrabah are asked to wear either a red, yellow, pink, green, purple, orange or blue solid colored shirt to go with their costume. If this is not possible, let Ms. Baker know and we will supply one for you. Feel free to contact her if you have questions.

Aladdin Reminders: Rehearsal today for “Aladdin” will be from 3-8 pm today. Due to the religious holiday, it is understood that students may only be able to attend a portion of rehearsal today with family or church events going on. However, it is encouraged for students to rehearse as much as possible today, especially main characters. The PTO will begin serving dinner for the cast at 4:30 pm. Other reminders: COSTUMES: Costumes are provided for the students for the most part. However, if possible, students in the choir need to wear a plain short sleeved shirt with no writing. The color needs to be red, yellow, pink, green, orange or blue. If a student is not able to get a shirt with one of these colors, please let Ms. Baker know. Since the setting of the musical is in the desert, students may wear flip flops or sandals. Main characters doing a lot of running or dancing in the show need to wear black flats or tennis shoes. Color depends on their costume. Ask Ms. Baker if you’re not sure. Also, students will need to have their hair pulled back and away from their face. Students may do their own stage makeup if they know how, otherwise we will have a crew to help. ALADDIN T-SHIRT orders are due today!!

Please reach out to Ms. Baker if you have any questions. Thank you for your support of the Central Valley Music Department! 🎵
