recital questions

I have been hearing some question floating around about recital, especially for first-timers.

Here are the most common:
1. Do they have class the week after the recital?
2. Is the fee for may $40.00 as well?
3. Where is the recital and what time is it?
4. When do they get the costumes and do they only use them for the recital or do they have other performances?

Answers:
1. Yes they have class after the recital- we look at recital pictures and parents order while the kids watch the video of the recital.
2. May is full tuition even though some classes will only have 3 classes for the month- but we do not have any recital fees.
3. The recital is at Center High School on Saturday May 17th. We have dress rehearsal that morning from 9-12 and then then they come back at 6:15 for the show at 7! The dress rehearsal is mandatory b/c that is when we take pictures and gets them familiar with the stage, the lights and where they are going to go onstage and backstage.
4. Some costumes have already started coming in, and we should have them all by the middle of April. We will try them on together during class and then they will take them home. There is only one performance and then the costumes get added to your dress-up bin.

I hope this helps anyone else who might have had some basic questions. I will have sign-ups for backstage moms soon, so if you are interested please let me know.
