Audience:

• You can enter the high school at 12:30 pm, which is when the auditorium will open.
• Tickets must be purchased ahead of time.
• No flash pictures are allowed.  You may take pictures from your seat as long as you do not disturb the people around you.  Please do not come to the front of the stage.
• Due to the fact we have a professional video company, there will be no videoing of the show allowed.
• There is no smoking allowed in the building, there is also no food or drink allowed in the auditorium.
• There is no saving of seats except for one for the mother/guardian.
• If you need to enter/exit the auditorium, please do so between numbers and at the rear of the room.

Dismissal and Other Notes:

• After curtain call is over the mother/guardian with the wristband ONLY will be permitted to enter the stage and pick up the child.  Sparkling Stars 2 A and B (Wednesday 4 pm/Saturday 10:45) will be dismissed immediately after their number.  They may remain in the audience with their shirt over their costume and come back for our curtain call.  Sparkling Stars 3 (Wednesday 4:45 and Saturday 11:40) watch the first half of the show from the audience and come backstage at intermission.  All other performers will remain backstage for the entire show.
• We will have a photo station set up alongside the hallway where the performers can be picked up. As the show will continue moving once it has started without stopping, please wait until after your child has performed to take pictures at the photo station.
• And of course sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
