The rumors are true!  The school play this year which will be performed on March 19 - 21, 2009, is Peter Pan.  The annual school play is a tremendous effort of over 3000 volunteer man hours each year and is an excellent example of the school spirit of Tijeras Creek.   It is a wonderful experience for our families who participate and also for those who choose to watch.  There are many speaking parts and wonderful roles for both boys and girls.  The music is amazing and the committee is already meeting to plan costumes, sets, props, choreography, and more.

Karen Barrus, our primary music teacher, will be our director this year with Assistant directors, Erin Tennison and Ralph Mattera.  Heidi Andrews and Lori Ashbrook will serve as producers this year with the able assistance of Marianne DuMity.   We are very excited about this production.

NEW THIS YEAR:  This year parents who are volunteering as supervisors during rehearsals and during play nights must have a district cleared volunteer identification badge.  Unfortunately, play supervision does not count as the "one time" exception to this district rule.  Because many parents work and did not intend to get a volunteer badge to volunteer in the classroom this year, we have tried to come up with another solution.  The cost of completing the Dept. of Justice background check and TB test is approximately $70 per person.  Parents have a minimum 15 hour volunteer commitment per participating scholar.  Parents may opt out of this commitment by contributing an additional donation of $150 to the play costs.  This money will be used to hire bonded caregivers/district employees for supervision.  If you choose to obtain the volunteer badge, you must have your paperwork in process by December 1 .  Forms are available in the school office.  This background clearance is good for the entire time your child is enrolled in this school district through graduation from high school.  Prior to our first rehearsal in January, your name must be on the cleared district list.   We know this district policy, while inconvenient is in the best interest of all of our children and we appreciate your support.  

Auditions will be held on Wednesday, November 5 from 1:00 - 4:30  p.m. in the Library and Thursday, November 6 from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. in the Library.   Kindergarten and first grade scholars should plan to audition on Wednesday from 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. if possible.  Scholars wishing to audition will be asked to sing a song of their choice acapella (no music).  Those wishing speaking parts should be familiar with the audition script.  Memorization is not required, but does give your actor a better opportunity to show their personality.

To support our "Green Theme" at Tijeras Creek, audition packets with registration and audition scripts can be downloaded from the PTA website after Monday, October 27.   Please do not ask the office for copies of audition packets.  Play participation rules are included in the audition packet.  Pages 3 and 4 should be returned to the office as soon as possible.  Audition confirmation times will be e-mailed each day.  Please check back on this website at www.tijerascreekpta.org and click on the school play tab to view the most current information regarding the play.
