March Newsletter

Ok. Here we go.
Costumes
Costumes have been ordered! Yay! As soon as they get here I will send them home with your kiddos. Please have them try them on to make sure they fit just right. My Harmonic tunes (3rd-7th graders) should remember that the jazz pants WILL be too long. You will have to hem them. You will most likely want to leave some length in the hem to let them down later. I don’t know how it happens, but these kids can grow 5 inches in a week.
If you already have a costume, PLEASE try it on. If something needs to be changed, let me know ASAP.
Props$10
This concert has several props. Many I will order and have for the kids at the concert or in class so that we can practice with them. The tiny’s (pre-k-2nd grade) will have a fedora hat, and a navy baseball hat. The Harmonic’s (grades 3-7) will have gloves, a few things for their MOM song, & a color block.
These are the props that I’ll get. I need a little help with the harmonics. In the “mom song”. I would like to see all of my kids wearing a bath robe. Please look around. Don’t go buy anything new. I’m sure between all of us we can come up with enough. They need to be small enough that the kids won’t trip over them. They need to have a pocket and a belt tie.
CD’s
Last week I sent a CD home with your child. Please let your child listen to it over and over and over again. Sure it will drive you crazy. Sure you may start cursing my name. But, watch out, your kids are going to be AWESOME in May. If you got a defective CD, let me know, I’ll get you a replacement.
Specialties
The tiny tune specialty involves 8 girls. It is a 1920’s song about Singin’ In the Bathtub. It is such a cute number. The girls will need you to get them: a light pink leotard. I will get them everything else. The cost for the additional costume/props will be $8. I will add this to your April Tuition statement.
The harmonic tunes specialty is a cute song that involves all of the harmonic girls. Half of them will be singing about how they’re in love! The other half will be singing about how ridiculous it is that their friends are in love. The ones that are in love will be holding a picture of their “crush”. The cost for the additional costume/props will be $5. I will add this to your April tuition statement. Calendar

February

I'm running...running...running behind!!! Sorry this newsletter is late! I may be running slow but your kids are keeping schedule just fine. Things at TaVaci are great. The new location is working out OK. It's not perfect, but it's not horrible.
The music for this concert is so fun. Our tiny tunes are having a blast learning the Phineas and Ferb music, and the Harmonics are rockin' out to Grease. Look for more fun this month.

If you are new to TaVaci, your child should have been fitted for a concert last week. If you weren't there or for some reason that didn't happen, I will bring the costumes again next week. You will find the costume fee added to your March tuition.
