1. Behavior: LGYT requires safe, respectful behavior at all rehearsals(whether online or in person) & shows, and care of rehearsal and performance property. Any problems will be dealt with by staff in charge at the time. If your child creates recurring problems, s/he may be dropped from the cast or you, the parent, may be required to stay with your child at all rehearsals/shows in order for the child to remain in the play.
2. Effort: If the performer is not putting forth good effort in attitude, learning lines, routines and songs, the performer may be removed from the play.
3. Scheduling Conflicts: All conflicts which cannot be rescheduled must be noted in the Conflict Calendar. During tech weeks & the week of the performance, all cast members must be at all rehearsals and performances! Please put the mandatory times/dates in your calendar now to prevent scheduling conflicts.
4. Attendance: The entire cast is depending on your child attending their scheduled rehearsals therefore:
· Absence due to illness must be emailed to the Director & Producer at least 4 hours before rehearsal
· Any requests to be excused that are not noted on the Conflict Calendar, other than illness or emergency, must be made via email to the Director and pre-approved by him/her.
· Excessive unexcused absence or tardiness may result in recasting of roles or dismissal from the play.
5. Rehearsals: Students must wear dance shoes or sneakers. No clogs, sandals, boots, flip flops, etc.
6. Photos and Video Photography Prohibited: You may not take photos or video at rehearsals or shows.
7. Snacks: Please make sure your child has a snack prior to arriving to rehearsals. Please send your child with a water bottle to rehearsal. No other food/drinks are allowed unless otherwise specified.
8. Concerns/Complaints: If you have concerns or complaints about any aspect of the production, please direct them to a producer, not the artistic staff or LGS Recreation. Please express any concerns away from rehearsals so as not to disrupt the children or production staff. Producers are available via email.
9. Scripts and Music: Scripts and music will be distributed to students as necessary. Cast members must remember to bring scripts to each and every practice and to take good care of them by putting them into a 3-ring binder or folder with their name written clearly on the outside of the binder. It is a good idea to label clothing, backpacks and any item your child might bring to rehearsal, as things tend to get scattered.
10. Costumes and Hair/Makeup: The production committee will determine individual costume design and makeup directions. Costumes and accessories will be provided but Cast members must provide their own basic stage makeup. Cast members may be required to purchase their own shoes.
11. Leaving the Play: Should you find that the play or these expectations are not a fit for your family, a portion of your participation fee may be refunded, but must be worked out with Los Gatos-Saratoga Recreation.
12. Photo Release: I hereby irrevocably consent to and authorize the use and reproduction by LGYT, or anyone authorized by the Los Gatos-Saratoga Recreation Center, of any and all photographs or video footage which have been taken of my child, negative or positive, for any purpose whatsoever without compensation to me. All video and photographs, together with the print, shall constitute LGYT property, solely, and completely. I release the videographers, Los Gatos High School/KCAT TV, the Los Gatos Union School District, the Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District, and the Los Gatos-Saratoga Recreation Center from liability for any violation of any personal or proprietary right I have in connection with any reproduction or use of photography or video footage in which my child(ren) appear.
