Rehearsal Schedule

The performances for Nutcracker 2023 are scheduled for  December 9th and Dec 10th at Cheney Hall in Manchester CT.   Dress Rehearsal will be the evening of Dec 8th. And a run-through/Blocking Rehearsal will be on December 3rd.
      
Children should bring water and a  healthy snack to rehearsal on days when they will be at rehearsal for a while. It would also be prudent to bring somthing quiet to do during waits between rehearsal times (homework, a book, coloring etc.  If bringing electronic games, please bring headphones or set to mute.)

Please try not to miss rehearsals as it makes it difficult for everyone to learn their dances when people are missing. Please email me the day before at [email protected] or message me on Band if you will be absent for any reason or if you have any questions.

IMPORTANT: Please join our band app to receive important Nutcracker updates.
