WHERE AND
WHEN! For JAKS Academy show.
Due to extra rehearsals as the show is fast approaching
please see below times as to when your child is needed.
Saturday 25th June – juniors 10am – 12
Group 1 and 2 – 10am till 4pm.
Tuesday 28th – all dance and drama students
(except juniors)
5pm till 8pm
Wednesday 29th - all dance and drama students
(except juniors)
5pm till 8pm
These rehearsals are important as this is a full run
through with costume so that we do not have to do a run
through on the Friday night.
Saturday 2nd July – all group 1 and 2 to be at the
theatre for 10am
Juniors and adults to be at the theatre for 2pm
Show to start at 7pm
Sunday 3rd July – all to be at the theatre for
12pm
Baby ballet to be at the theatre for 1pm
Show to start at 2pm
Please let Miss Kirsty know if any of the above is a
problem for you? I know that some children are only in
one or two pieces however we do not know how the time
will run on the rehearsal so I just do not know at what
time I will need the children, this way if they are all
there at all times it is easier.
Please always send children with food nd drink or money
to buy from the tuck shop!
The Saturday of the show we will aim as always to do a
chippy run for tea. Can I please ask if you send your
child with money for the chippy run please make sure it
is change and not note as this makes it tricky for
whoever does the chippy run!
Any questions please do not hesitate to contact me
