2019 Spring Concert PERFORMANCE DAY PROCEDURES what to know for the big day

BEFORE THE PERFORMANCE:

 Note that no classes are scheduled for May 18, and the HPSD office will be closed. Please plan accordingly.

 Please consult your calendar for any scheduling conflicts prior to confirming your dancer’s participation in the Spring Concert. Dancers must remain backstage for their entire performance and will not be released early in order to attend another event or for any other reason. If you believe your child will be unable to remain backstage under the supervision of HPSD staff and volunteers for the duration of his or her assigned act/s, he or she may not be ready to participate, and should wait until next year to enjoy the performance experience.

 Please bring your dancer to the Museum of Science and Industry prepared to dance. Dancers should be wearing their class uniforms with hair done and stage make-up applied. (See page 7 for details.) Make-up for very young dancers is optional, but we recommend make-up for all dancers as stage lighting has the tendency to wash out faces.

 Enter the Museum of Science and Industry through the museum’s main entrance. For security purposes, we are unable to enter through any entrance other than the main entrance. MSI’s parking garage is free for up to 60 minutes, and $22 per vehicle after 60 minutes. These are MSI’s standard parking rates, and no validation is required of your parking ticket. If you choose to utilize street parking, plan for extra time to walk to MSI’s campus.

 Upon entering the museum, volunteers will direct you and your dancer to the restrooms and then through the museum to the auditorium. NOTE: There is a 10-15 minute walk from the museum entrance to the check-in area and theater, and we recommend using the restroom prior to proceeding to the check-in area. The restrooms nearest the museum’s escalators are the ones to which our group will be directed for the day. Please plan accordingly, arriving early enough to park, use the restroom, complete the walk, and check-in before your dancer’s call time.

 Dancers must be checked in by HPSD staff at designated check-in areas by their designated call time. You can find a complete list of call times on pages 3-4 of this packet. Please plan accordingly, taking parking and walking through the museum to the check-in area into account.

 Parents of dancers aged seven and under should keep their children’s street clothes, shoes, and bags with them as HPSD cannot be held responsible for items that are lost or stolen backstage. All items brought backstage with each dancer should be labeled clearly with the dancer’s name.

 For the safety and security of all, no one other than dancers, staff, and pre-designated volunteers will be allowed backstage prior to, during, or after the concert.

PERFORMANCE DAY PROCEDURES CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Hyde Park School of Dance Spring Concert 2019 Info Packet page 5

2019 Spring Concert PERFORMANCE DAY PROCEDURES (continued)

DURING THE PERFORMANCE:

 Dancers in multiple acts may either remain backstage between acts, or be checked out after one act and checked back in by their call time for the next act in which they are performing. Dancers will not be allowed to leave the backstage area without being checked out.

 Dancers who will be remaining backstage between acts should plan to bring a lunch and/or snacks that do not need refrigeration or microwaving as necessary. HPSD is unable to provide food. Please see the guidelines outlined in the included performance day checklist.

 During the performances, families may videotape only from designated areas at the rear of the auditorium, and no flash photography will be allowed, as it is dangerous to the performers. Families may not photograph or record video backstage.

 Audience members are expected to remain seated until the very end of each performance, as the noise and confusion caused by early departures in the house is disruptive to the dancers and other audience members.

AFTER THE PERFORMANCE:

 At the end of the each act, you may pick up your dancer from the check-in area. Please be aware that dancers will not be released to their parents or guardians until the entire performance is over, and they have gotten out of costume, tidied their backstage space, and been cleared to leave by HPSD faculty or staff.

 Audience members are welcome to explore the museum during its open business hours the day of the Spring Concert! Your HPSD Spring Concert ticket will allow you admission into MSI’s general admission exhibits on May 19th during their regular business hours of 9:30 am – 4:00 pm.

 Dancers in Ballet IVA and up who are performing in Act 3 will be expected to help strike the set, preparing props, costumes, and scenery for transport back to HPSD. If your dancer falls into this group, expect them to be required to stay an extra 15 to 30 minutes after the show.
