I am happy to inform you that the Glendale East dance group have been accepted to perform in Star Struck 2014. Our item is titled Thats how you know from the Disney movie Enchanted. The theme for the dance is princes and princesses which is sure to inspire some exciting costumes. Specific information regarding costumes will be provided at a later date.

Transport
As explained in the expression of interest earlier in the year you will need to ensure that you will be available to transport (or organise transport) for your child to and from each event. In the past pick up times for the night performances have been very late at night (approximately 11pm) which can be difficult for many families. In the past many families have organised carpools to coincide with the day/night certain parents are seeing the show. If you are organising carpools, please write and sign a note explaining who will be transporting your child. It would also be helpful if you could write your mobile number and the mobile number of the person transporting your child on this note in case there are any problems. If you are having difficulties organising transport please let me know as soon as possible so I can arrange something for you.
Costing
As explained in the expression of interest, the price of costume material and dressmaking may be in excess of $50, as each costume will be made specifically for each student. An exact cost will be given when the costume details are provided to schools. It is important that you are aware of this now so you can begin to plan for this to avoid problems in the future. Reserves will also need a costume as they will be guaranteed a spot in at least one performance.
Thank you for your support in allowing your child to participate in a great event. More information will be provided as it comes to hand.
Kind regards, Leah McFayden
Star Struck Reserves
Six students in year 4 were selected to act as reserves for Star Struck 2014. The reserves will be required to attend all rehearsals as they will need to know where to place themselves on the stage and how to enter from different tunnels.
To make the program as equitable as possible in terms of performances, I would like to take three reserves to the Friday performances and three reserves to the Saturday performances.
Please indicate your preference with numbers 1 and 2 and I will let you know which performances your child will be required for as soon as possible.
