1. All of the music we've learned so far (as a group) has been uploaded to the "Rehearsal Recordings" folder on the Hooverville page: http://thebiz-academy.com/hooverville. Please make sure you are reviewing your music daily. It's easy to slip when we're not together as frequently rehearsing the music. The good news is, we only have 2 more Ensemble numbers to learn and the music for the show will be conquered! Be looking ahead to "New Deal for Christmas" and "Tomorrow - Bows" because the entire cast will be part of those numbers.
Please refer to the rehearsal schedule and make sure you have your music printed prior to rehearsal. All of the songs can be found in the "Annie Script" folder our Dropbox here:

2. In the same spirit, please make sure you are reviewing the choreography for the dances we have learned. All of the dance videos have been uploaded, as well. You can find them on the Hooverville page under "Choreography Videos": http://thebiz-academy.com/hooverville.
3. Other things you can be doing if you're looking for something to do/here during this Fall Break:
- Get your bio for the program taken care of by entering it on the Hooverville page. You can find a link called "ENTER YOUR BIOS HERE".
-Volunteer to hang some show posters in the community! We have several out there, but I am planning to canvas the area again this weekend. See me at rehearsal for posters!
-Share the information about our "Family 4-pack ticket deal". Through Oct 31, patrons can purchase 2 adult and 2 youth tickets for $45. The ticket information can be found here: http://thebiz-academy.com/annie
-Make sure you have figured out the shoes you are wearing for the show. Many of you ordered from Kinney, and they've arrived. Check in with me, and you can pick them up at rehearsal. Please make sure to refer to the Ensemble list (https://thebizannie.blogspot.com/p/production-needs.html) for your character(s) and purchase/obtain your shoes. If you have questions, you can contact me or one of the members of the costume team.
-Take a look at the volunteer list - especially Orphan parents/spouses. There are opportunities to Usher, work at the Bravo table, and work backstage for the shows. You can find that link under "Volunteer Sign Ups" on the Hooverville page, too! http://thebiz-academy.com/hooverville
