Dear Apple Families:
OUR ANNUAL SPRING SHOW, I BOOGIE to the Beat, will feature students from both Apple Afterschool AND our sister school, Magic Apple (grades 2-6). This amazing display of talent will be on Saturday, May 24th, from 2:30-4:30 (approximately). We will be sending home order forms for ticket sales, school performance shirts (see information below, and a performance DVD/VHS of the show. All of the sales will go to our many production related costs (rental of the beautiful Aptos High School Center for Performing Arts, sound and light techs, etc. As many of you have never seen our annual shows; prepare to be absolutely amazed at the level of talent and confidence you will see—from our very youngest at Apple to our oldest Magic Apple students ready to enter middle school. Our students really work together in learning choreography and memorizing lyrics (and I was blown away watching your students practice at Apple last week) so be sure to invite friends and family and bring your cameras. We especially love the way our students enjoy one another during the performance—be sure to watch for the youngest students standing on the side of the stage mimicking the complex choreography of the upper graders and the upper graders asking the little ones for high fives and spilling out with compliments—it’s such a wonderful all around experience for our students that we can’t wait to share with you!
SCHOOL PERFORMANCE SHIRT: The show will alternate with performances from both schools and then a finale featuring our rendition of James Taylor’s classic, “You’ve Got a Friend”. We would like all students to wear their performance shirt if possible at the very end of the show. If interested in ordering one for your student (besides being adorable, all students will have their name listed on the back), please send check to Janice Jimenez (not Magic or Apple as this is NOT income, but rather proceeds to be used towards many show related costs). Youth size shirts are $16 (indicate S size 6-8 M size 8-10 L size 12-14 or XL size similar to adult small). We have already ordered the shirts and expect to have them next week; please order so your student won’t be disappointed.
A COSTUME LIST for the other dances will be sent home soon. Please remember, however, all students should come dressed in black as we will be layering costumes over the basic black for simplicity and timeliness. Boys should wear a tshirt and jeans, Girls, tank and leggings—all black tennis shoes. Costumes should be brought in a labeled fabric bag.
STUDENTS SHOULD ARRIVE approximately 15 minutes before the show. Please resist trying to walk your performer back stage! We will have student alumni from middle and high schools (who love helping and always let us know this was one of the best experiences of their elementary years) who will walk your student to Aubrey, Audrey and Jenna backstage. This will also ensure that you are able to find a seat; it will be packed but fortunately Aptos’s theater does have stadium seating.
PERFORMANCE T-SHIRT ORDER FORM--cash or checks to Jan Jimenez
Please reserve a shirt with my student’s name on back
