L5&6 2019 Production

Dear Parent/Guardian of Level 5 &6 students,

The production “Ali Baba and the Bongo Bandits” is well underway with weekly drama, singing and choreography rehearsals.  The students are excited and looking forward to their performances on the below dates at Aquinas College, Ringwood.

• Tuesday 27th August – Cast 1 (5/6H, 5/6O and 5/6WM)
• Wednesday 28th August – Cast 2 (5/6E and 5/6N)

With a production as large as this, we require many helpers to assist us and therefore we are planning a number of working bees.  The first of these will be Monday 20th May from 8.30 am.  This will be an “under the school” exploration to see what we have from previous years.  Please meet at the bike shed.  Further Working Bee dates will be advised ASAP.

The majority of the working bees will take place in the art room.  No experience is required – just an art smock if painting.  We do not expect everyone to attend all of the Working Bees, but if you could help even at just one we would be very grateful.  Alternatively, you could take a project home to work on.

We require assistance for the following projects:

• Sewing
  • Sewers (costumes e.g. harem pants, tops, waistcoats, cloak etc)
  • Accessory making (sewing/crafting sequins, head dresses etc)
  • 2 – part camel costume (head for one student and body for another)
  • Monkey costume
• Props
  • Art/craft making of props
  • Sourcing of particular items
  • Set making (Cave of Wonders)
• Rehearsals
  • Tuesdays for dialogue run throughs (you don’t have to sign up for every week)
  • Thursdays for dance/choreography run throughs (you don’t have to sign up for every week)

This year we are utilising Volunteer Sign-Up.  Please follow the link below to sign up.

As we get closer to the production performances, please keep an eye out for emails requesting other help.

With thanks,

Production Committee
