We are in our last week of rehearsals!

By Charlotte Cooper | Posted: Monday November 7, 2022
The students have been working so hard at rehearsals. It can be tough going at times but they have shown perseverance and commitment and it’s all coming together. I am super proud of them all.


On Thursday the 10th of November, we have our big rehearsal at Otago Boys High School. Students will need to meet at OBHS by 9 am in the auditorium which is in the main doors. There will be a staff member outside to show students where to go. They will be dismissed from OBHS at the end of the school day. 

The students are to wear their clothes that they will be waering in the school playground scene (Jocks, Ditzes and Nerds) to rehearsals.

All other costumes are to come on THURSDAY on a hanger or in a bag clearly named and with their Room number and role eg Pirate, Viking, etc.

  • THERE ARE STILL STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOT SENT A PHOTO OF THEIR COSTUME TO ccooper@balmacewen.school.nz 
  • THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP PLEASE

On Monday 14th November we have our dress rehearsal matinee where the students will be performing for our local Year 5 and 6 students. They will also need to be dropped off at OBHS by 9 am and will be dismissed at 3:15. (Rippa has been cancelled for that day).

The students need to be back at OBHS for our evening performances on Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th at approximately 6pm on the night shows - They are to come in their first costume for the school scene (Vikings can come in their PE gear) .and come with stage makeup already applied. (Stage makeup enhances the features of the performers so the audience at the back of the house can connect with them) and hair done - we can add to some if need be on the night. They are to come around the back of the auditorium and into the green room entrances. We will go through this with them next week at OBHS. Once we have run through the whole show we will have a good idea of pick-up time at the end of the evening performances.
