You did it once, you can do it again!

Many dances are well on their way to being finished or already finished, so you’ll get to see everyone’s progress. What’s new this time around? You’ll find out the show title and see skit perform for the first time! You’ll also learn the Philippine National Anthem (Lupang Hinirang) and the American National Anthem (Star Spangled Banner). Second run-thrus is another chance for you to gain some Journey Partner points too!

WHO: All our cast members. Skit-only kids, get ready to make your debut!

WHAT: PCN Second Run-Thrus

WHEN: Sunday, March 10 at 9:00AM sharp – 2:00PM (at the latest)

WHERE: Villas MPR

WHY: The second run-thru is an opportunity to begin integrating the show’s different aspects. It is one step closer to really feeling the production as a full-blown out production. Second run-thrus will be longer than first run-thrus because dances are more completed, skit will be introduced, and we will be practicing anthems. 

WHAT TO EXPECT:

  • Dancing
  • Skit-ting
  • FREE BREAKFAST FOODZ & DRANKS
  • FREE make-up headshot pictures – if you want a re-take of your headshot, please like the first comment on this Facebook post
  • Learning national anthems

WHAT TO BRING:

  • Homework, laptops, chargers, power strips (if you a real one bc the outlets are limited)

WHAT TO DO:

  • Keep your voices down when dances are performing–especially since there are going to be over 90 people in the room. It will be one of the first times dancing to live music, and dancers need to be able to hear!
  • Be respectful of space because there will be less space in the Villas MPR than in the Dance Studio
  • Listen to the ASMs aka Assistant Stage Managers, Anna Tomas and Keola McDonald. They are here to make sure the run-thru goes smoothly–taking notes, making sure people know when their dance is about go on, minimizing time between each suite/dance, and helping you look your best!

ASMs will call your dance to be on deck and we will run through the whole suite. Each suite will perform twice, and between each turn is when you will get feedback from your teacher.

  • Do your homework, take a nap, or watch the other dances while you’re waiting to go on and perform!
  • You must stay until the very end (unless you have a dire conflict, if you do please let Chris & Diane know ASAP). The ASMs are going to be giving everyone performance notes and there will be important announcements. We know the ending time is a little late and you will be hungry/restless, but it was either that or starting at 8AM. #pickyourbattles. Luckily, there will be a lunch event you and your JP can go to after run-thrus!

Second Run-Thrus is M A N D A T O R Y. Please be on time. Again, some of our P-STAFF Alumni and teachers drive out from as far as San Francisco to be here at 9AM.

If you cannot make it, please let us know ASAP!

We will be releasing the schedule for the day by the end of the week! This will include estimated times of when each suite will be running their dances. We hope to end earlier than scheduled, so again, please show up on time.

Let’s do this thang.
