So...an inclement weather day.

As the saying goes, 'hope for the best, prepare for the worst'...

As we spoke about last night, there was the possibility for inclement weather cancellation or delay today, and, sure enough, here we go with a full cancellation of school.  Here's what that means to all of us:

-there is no show tonight: we cannot host a performance if the district decides to cancel school and evening events.
-this show won't be made up: if this were an intimate setting show, and we were dealing with a limited opportunity for our friends, family, loved ones, and community, then that would be one thing; as we have literally over 1000 available seats for our audiences over 6 remaining performances, everyone who wants to will be able to see our show.
-tickets can be exchanged: anyone with tickets to tonight's performance can exchange their tickets for a future performance.  All they need to do is email me at mjamie@pps.net and I will get that taken care of.
-there is no work being done on the show today...: this ain't like The Waves...we are good to go on the show except for the programming of some lights.  Don't come in!!!
-...except on your own: everyone needs to go over the show at some point today on their own.  Listen to the music, mentally run through your entrances, exits, choreography, etc.  This is no small thing!  We need to get going tomorrow as if today never happened, and we can't do that if even one person takes a full mental break and has to be brought back up to speed tomorrow.
-Rest Up!: take today as the blessing in disguise it may prove to be.  Rest, de-stress, relax, take a day to get well, etc.  We have all been working very hard, and a little R&R may be just what the doctor ordered.

We've already had an audience, and we know how they've reacted to the show.  I wish I could sum up all of the wonderful things said to me and emailed to me in the wake of our show last night...you'd all start getting misty-eyed (and we all know that, though good and a huge leap forward in many ways, wasn't even our best work).  Take this day to recover your body, energy, and spirit.  We're gonna kick it off properly tomorrow.

Be well team!  See you tomorrow...
