Christmas Show Fee on December Invoice

As in years past, we have rented out the Cuyahoga Falls High School Auditorium. This facility, with a seating capacity of over 1600, will allow all families to attend with the opportunity to invite unlimited family members and friends.

Rather than charge for individual tickets, each family will receive a flat event fee on their December invoice to help defer the facility rental cost.

Event Fee $35.00 per family | What does this cover?

• Defer rental facility and event costs
• Professional Video of the Event! A professional videographer has been hired to capture the event for your family to keep as a keepsake. All families will receive a video link they can download and store.
• Unlimited guests
• Large spacious facility for an indoor event, allowing families to spread out as needed

Student Show Attire

All students are to arrive "in costume" the night of the Show. All Students should wear shoes with rubber soles for safety as we move backstage and up and down the risers (NO HEELS OR BOOTS, to reduce noise backstage & while moving on/off the risers).

• Buckeye (Elves): Students are asked to wear any combination of solid red and/or green (can wear black bottoms (skits/pants). The school will provide Elf hats (they will be distributed to students the night of the show).

• Aspen (Snowmen): Students are asked to wear any combination of all-white. If you don't have white pants/skirt/dress you may wear black on the bottom (solid white on top please). Students will also need a winter hat, scarf, and gloves or mittens (any color combinations). Kindergarten students are asked to wear gloves over mittens, due to holding the microphone for speaking parts.

• Blossom (Christmas Trees): Students are asked to bring in a plain green long-sleeve tee shirt (they will be decorating them like Christmas trees at school prior to the show). Please wear black or green on the bottom (pants/skirts). The school will be providing Christmas Tree hats(they will be distributed to students the night of the show). Ms. Tonya will be sending out information on when the shirts should be at school for decoration.

• Birch (Reindeer): Students are asked to wear a solid white long-sleeve shirt or sweater and khaki bottoms (skirts/pants). The school will provide red bowties and antlers (they will be distributed to students the night of the show).

This is one of our favorite events of the year. Be sure to invite your family and friends, you don't want to miss this!
