Variety Show News
Information regarding forms, rehearsal schedules and more will be located on the PDSD.org Pennell PTO website. Keeping in mind the length of the show, we are suggesting that acts be a group of 4 or more unless performing a solo.Each group must have a Parent in Charge. We will communicate with the Parent in Charge regarding any Variety Show news/information. Please make sure to check in with your Parent.
Practices
Groups are expected to practice on their own. There will be no time granted at Pennell for ANY practice with the exception of the Mandatory Act Reviews and 5th grade act. There will be a MANDATORY Act Review at Pennell the last week of January. It is at this time that the music and CD’s will be due. Please see permission slip for date preference. More information will follow.
Dress Rehearsal
Dress Rehearsal will be held Wednesday and Thursday, February 11th and 12that Sun Valley High School. Acts will receive a time and date to report to the school.
5th Grade Act
We will once again hold the 5th Grade Act to close the show. We ask that if a student chooses to be in this act, they must commit to attending the practices and registering on time. More information will be forthcoming from the 5th Grade Act coordinators Kristie Ellis and Denise Volturo,
Performances
Students are permitted to be in one act.(The only exception to this will be the 5th grade students who perform in their grade act).Actsneed to be2 minutes or less. Dance moves most not be overly suggestive.
Music
Please provide a cut CD along with a labeled CD case that includes your group nameand song title. Songs must contain no objectionable language. Parents: please check the lyrics of the song choice before the acts begin practicing. Because this is a school activity,inappropriate selections will not be allowed. The music can not have reference to drugs, alcohol, weapons or violence. Song choice will be on a first come first serve basis. We will contact you if the song has already been chosen or is not acceptable for the show. CD’s are due no later then January 30th. There will be a very strict deadline for this to allow for the completion of the show CD.
Props
We cannot be responsible for storing props, they must be bought the night of the dress rehearsal and show and picked up after each event. Any prop left at the school will need to be thrown away as we are not permitted to leave them. Props must be easy, quick to assemble and portable to move on and off stage. Props are optional; there will be a primary backdrop on stage.
