The structure of Tritt's Chorus and Musical will be chanaging for the new school year. The Tritt Foundation would like parents to know now about those changes, so all rising 4th and 5th graders will be bringing a letter home today about that.
Enjoy your summer, families!
Brian Adams sent home the "101 Dalmatians, Kids" photobooks yesterday, and I hope you agree with me that they are very cute!
The DVD's have arrived, and I will be passing those out to students today. Please look for yours that were ordered when your child comes home today, May 22.
Again, I was SO proud of the great job these students did in their performances of this musical!
Have a super summer!
Congratulations to all of our "101 Dalmatians, Kids" performers Thursday evening! I was SO proud of each student in the musical! Look what they accomplished in a very short few weeks of preparation. This kind of experience for children brings lots of benefits and learning in many different areas, and I hope your entire family will have happy memories of "101 Dalmatians, Kids" at Tritt ES!
Your children performed "101 Dalmatians, Kids" twice this morning, so that all Tritt students would have an opportunity to see the musical. They did a very good job at both performances!
They looked very cute on the risers and on stage, and I appreciate your help with the costumes.
We have decided to keep the ears and other accessories here in the music room, and we'll put them on the students when they arrive to rehearse Thursday evening. On May 8, we need the actors, Boxers, Scotties, Poodles and Chihuahuas to arrive in the music room at 5:50 P.M. We need all other students to arrive at 6:00 in the music room. No performers should go to the cafeteria...only audience.
Reminder: There can be no photographs or videos taken during the performance.
You may order the DVD, at $20 to Coverall Productions. You may order the photobook, at $35 to Brian Adams. Friday, May 9 is the deadline for orders, and those may be sent to the music room.
I hope this "101 Dalmatians, Kids" experience has been a great one for your child!
Enjoy the show!

I want to give you an update on our "101 Dalmatians, Kids" to say that these students are working so well together and doing a great job in our rehearsals. I am so proud of them already! It's obvious that many of them are using the student rehearsal CD to rehearse at home and in the car. Please encourage lots of that, because it really helps. On Tuesday I sent home the words to "Dalmatian Plantation", since those words are more challenging.
I appreciate especially Sherie Akins, Susie Colontonio and Tonia Pondiscio, who offered to help with the set and props. If you would like to be involved in this way, please contact one of those ladies.
"101 Dalmatians, Kids" is going to be a super experience for your children!
Since so many of our "Fiddler on the Roof" families requested a DVD and a photobook, we are offering the "101 Dalmatians" families those items as well, for their performance on May 8. Order forms will come home with your child today. Please make out the $20 DVD checks to Coverall Productions and the photobook check to Brian Adams. If you will return the order forms and checks to me, I will see that Tim and Brian receive them. No photos or videotaping can be done during the performance, so we want to offer you these opportunities. Thank you.
Please remember to send in all "Fiddler on the Roof" costumes that were furnished for you. We'd like to have all of that returned this week. Thank you.
Remind your child that the DVD's have arrived and may be picked up in the music room before or after school.
Our "Fiddler on the Roof" DVD's are in the music room. If you ordered one, please send your chorus student to see me Thursday, April 17, to pick that up. If you find any problems with your DVD, please call Coverall Productions at 888-292-9965. I know we are all very excited to see this!
