Kids Korner  


Children performing in Daze & KnightsHello! Welcome to Magic Moments 2009!

The Kidz Korner is for our younger performers of Magic Moments, ages 5-12. 

My name is Ruth Newell. I am your 2009 Kidz Korner Coordinator and Dori Gharrity has agreed to be our Assistant or Co-Coordinator of the Kidz Korner. She was a huge help to all of us in the Kidz Korner last year and has agreed to come back!  

We both serve on your Magic Moments Board of Directors and we both have kids in the show. So we have a vested interest in another successful year with Magic Moments, especially the kids’ portion of the production!  

We hope to act as your central clearing house for information for the parents and liaisons to the board. This position continues to evolve and we welcome helpful suggestions.  

Kidz Korner Notes

Hotline
Please call the Magic Moments’ Hotline before rehearsals to check for schedule changes and updates, if there is inclement weather, etc. The hotline is updated daily.

The Magic Moments Hotline is: 303-607-7555

Info and updates and will also be posted on the Website

Drop off/Pick Up
Your child’s/children’s safety is our utmost concern. Therefore, we will require and implement the following drop off/pick up procedure:

  • Children will need to be dropped off and signed in by a parent or a designated, appropriate family member upstairs in the kids’ rehearsal room.

  • Children will need to be signed out and picked up at 3:15 at kids’ rehearsal room. Please be on time for pick up.  

Rehearsal time
Saturdays, 1:00 – 3:15 p.m.

Please have your child signed in and ready to go in the rehearsal room, before 1:00 p.m. Rehearsals begin at 1:00 p.m.  

Closed rehearsals
Rehearsals are closed to parents, family, friends, etc. Only children in the production and staff will be permitted in the rehearsal room.  

Breaks/Snacks
There will be a 15 minute break during each rehearsal. You may choose to send a snack and a bottle of water with your child for the break. Your child is responsible for their snack and water bottle and belongings.

  • PLEASE: NO NUT PRODUCTS OF ANY KIND, including candy (Reese’s Pieces). We have children with severe allergies. Thank you!  

Footwear
Please have your child wear comfortable shoes or dance shoes for rehearsals. If it is snowy or rainy and they wear boots to rehearsal, or if they are coming from a sports activity, please send appropriate shoes for your child to wear during rehearsals.  

Behavior
We anticipate a very large group of children this year, the largest group ever for Magic Moments. Behavior expectations will be set and enforced at the discrimination of the director and choreographer.  Children will need to be able to sit quietly, listen and follow directions, keep their hands to themselves, and be attentive. They will be learning several songs and dances. 

It will take every minute of every rehearsal to effectively accomplish this task. Magic Moments is a performing arts group, not a disciplinary unit. We really want to keep it fun - and safe - for everyone!  

Absences
Please call the hotline if your child will be late, absent or has an emergency. A Stage Manager will get back to you. The staff needs to be notified in advance for excused absences. Unexcused absences are discouraged and may result in being excused from the production.  Hotline: 303-607-7555

Costumes
Any and all questions regarding costumes should be directed to the costume coordinators, Judy Wyatt at jwyatt6847@comcast.net, 303-979-1663, and Robin Chew at robinusee@aol.com, 303-973-7322.

Dress rehearsals
Additional information will follow regarding dress rehearsals. Please plan on a full evening, possibly 6:30 until 10:30 p.m. on dress rehearsal nights. We know that is a late night for many of your children. You may wish to make plans accordingly with your child’s school.  

Volunteers
Yes, we need parent volunteers!  Please contact either of us if you are interested in helping out.  

Thoughts and ideas
Please share them with us! Your thoughts on how your child should act, move, dance, speak, etc., on stage, are highly discouraged by your creative and production staff. Please let the professionals coach your children. Magic Moments has the best of the best working with your children. Trust them, please.  

Practice, practice, practice
Reminding your children to rehearse their music, lyrics and dances is highly encouraged! Lyrics will be sent home with your child after rehearsals. Children are expected to know their lyrics and bring the music with them to rehearsals.

Performance Dates
The Magic Moments 2009 production dates are March 12, 13, 14 & 15 at Littleton High School, 199 E Littleton Blvd., Littleton, CO 80121.

There are three evening performances at 7:30 p.m., March 12, 13 & 14, and two matinees on March 14 and 15 at 2 p.m.  

Please contact us if you have additional questions. At least one of us will plan to be at every rehearsal, so you can always reach us there (after the kids are signed in) or call or write us:
