To purchase Recital Tickets at the cheapest rate we sold tickets thru this site:
www.tututix.com/maureens
Parents should come in to sign for student's voucher information starting in March. Each performer will receive ONE promotion code for ONE ticket for $1 to the Recital they are in. This promotion code can ONLY be used On-Line thru TuTuTix.
We strongly encourage you to purchase tickets on-line, since seating is reserved. If you'd like to sit together, you must purchase tickets together. Everyone entering the school - including the performer - must have a ticket for the seat they occupy (except those under 2 years old sitting on your lap).
Tickets that do not sell On-Line will be available for purchase at the High School on Recital Weekend, but will be full price. Keep in mind the student's voucher CAN ONLY be used On-Line, so their ticket will also be full price at the door.
TO BE FAIR TO ALL PERFORMERS:
Students are not allowed to perform in the recital if:
They miss any amount of time over 8 times
during the year in one class
(not counting scheduled holidays or days when we are closed for inclement weather).
OR
They don't rehearse their number on stage with their class during their scheduled Dress Rehearsal.
OR
Their lesson account is not paid in full by the last Saturday in April.
2024 Recital Costumes and other expenses
DEADLINE FOR ALL DANCE RECITAL COSTUME PAYMENTS IS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2023 BY 12 NOON.
Each student in the Dance Recital is required to purchase a costume for each number they perform in.
To make it easier for parents, we order everything they need for the Dance Recital (except dance shoes, which are listed on your dress code given at the beginning of the year) including costumes, headpieces, tights, most props (unless otherwise noted), and their Souvenir Recital T-Shirt, which is part of their Recital Uniform.
All costumes must be paid in full on or before the deadline to be ordered. Costumes will be needed for Recital Pictures, Dress Rehearsal(s) and the Dance Recital(s). Costume payments may be made with cash, check or credit cards - Visa, Master Card or Discover or by Auto Pay.
We’ll gladly take costume payments in installments ahead of time as long as the balance is paid in full on or before the deadline. If you'd like to split this up into smaller payments, Michelle can add to your Oct, Nov & Dec lesson payments, but all must be paid by 12/2/23. If you want your costume payment taken from your Auto Pay Account, either initial the box on your Auto-Pay form or see Michelle by Tuesday, November 21, 2023.
Each class will have a Costume Try-On day during one class in the spring (please check the calendar). A mother (or other responsible female adult who will be helping them backstage) must accompany each student (under 16 years of age) to class for the costume fitting and to get important instructions. If you do not come to your scheduled Costume Try-On Day, there will be one Costume Try-On Make-Up Day (TBA).
