Theme
First off, the theme is Legally State. Like Legally Blonde, but State. And just in case you weren't sure, it's totally this weekend. April 4, 5 and 6. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, respectively. Word on the street is we'll also have dress up days, so watch out for those.
Food
You will need to bring currency to pay for the meals in Salem (American dollars, preferably). As far as I know, there are no prepaid, prearranged meals. So prepare to pay for meals. Now, that being said, there are plenty of options in Salem. If you want to eat cheap, it is totally possible. Same could be said of eating at a ritzy, high class level.
Side note: On Thursday, when we all get down there, we will be eating together like a big Italian Family. I believe we will be eating at a pizza place, so we'll even feel Italian. Just so there is no confusion, though, we will be eating together on Thursday. Again, bring $ for that.
Forms
Second on the agenda, we were given a bunch of forms that are due by Wednesday. And Todd will not be at school Thursday, so no pity if you miss the deadline. Wednesday. That means you've got two days to fill them out and turn them in. They are as follows:
- Oregon State Thespian Code of Conduct (Turn into Todd, completed)
- Oregon State Thespian Release Form (Turn into Todd, completed)
- Prearranged Absence Form (Turn into Student Services, completed)
In addition, we were also given two itineraries, one for our bus schedule and also a preliminary itinerary for State conference itself. If you have questions about when something is, particularly when you're supposed to be somewhere, refer to those sheets, and I bet your answer will be found. Upon arrival in Salem, we will be receiving the official State Conference itinerary form, but for now, the preliminary one will be sufficient. Make sure you keep those forms handy, as they will come in handy.
Tech Olympics
Don't forget if you're on a team. That'd be bad. And good luck to those on a team. Let's win! If you have any questions about Tech Olympics, just go ahead and ask Bussey. He'll be glad to clarify any confusions.
Dances
Next to discuss are the dances for State Conference. (Usually a hit amongst the under 25 crowd and over 25 crowd alike) The dance for the first night, Thursday, is a masquerade theme dance. It's "Phantom of the Elsinore."
- Now, despite it being a masquerade, full masks are strictly prohibited, for obvious reasons. (You could be a mass murderer masquerading as a harmless Thespian, and no one could see you because of your mask, then BAM! We want that to not happen)
- You are allowed only a half face mask, and your name tag must be visible and prominently displayed.
The second night is "When You Wish Upon a Spotlight," honoring Disney in all it's overly commercialized glory. Be prepared for both dances to:
- Dress accordingly. Following the themes is fun!
- Behave like a civilized human being. Remember, you are acting as delegates of Tigard High School Thespian Troupe #2833. Don't embarrass us.
- Dance your heart out!
Thespian Sweatshirts
For goodness sake, people, if you have not done so already, pay Blair that $30 dollars for your sweatshirt. Those of you who have not paid yet, ya'll being a burden. The sooner the money gets paid, the sooner we get those sweatshirts. And we be wanting them for State.
TMM
Of course, as always, if you were a square and missed the meeting, or were not a square, but still missed the meeting, you gotta make it up. And this time, even more so, it is crucial to come on Tuesday morning to make it up, because I am the sole owner of the forms for State. I've got all the necessary forms in my possession. So if you missed the meeting, you missed the forms, and you'll need them, so you'll need to come Tuesday morning to pick them up so you can fill them out.
Scrip
As always, we will continue to pester you about turning in those scrip forms to Mr. Bussey.
Huzzah! You made it to the end! Bravo, bravo! Your prize? Knowledge.
