Monday: Blocking - Act II, Scenes 2 and 3 (4-6 pm) Just a clarification about today's rehearsal.  I do need everyone already scheduled for Act II, Scenes 2 and 3.  In addition, there were about 5 students I added to Mrs. Shield's Class at Saturday's rehearsal.  Those students also need to attend today.  Everyone else is good.  At first, I thought I needed the tappers for today, but what we were going to cover can be covered in Saturday's Choreo Rehearsal. As we will not be rehearsing dance today, there is a good chance we may be done early.  No guarantees.
