Namaste All,

Lot of kids are missing practices, and it is very hard for everyone to work with other kids subbing for them, and taking their places temporarily. It throws the practice off because we are trying to find replacements on the spot instead of working with the actual kids to perfect their lip syncing and acting.

If you are not one of them, please ignore the above with a smile :-)

Please consider this as a sincere request to make it to the upcoming performances as they are critical from an integration point of view.

Below is the schedule :

-August 25 (Saturday) - 1PM to 3:30PM.  Please bring your costumes and we can see if you need any adjustments etc. the last half hour is for costume discussion.
-August 26 (Sunday) - 11AM to 2PM. This is marked as a dress rehearsal day. So, please bring your costumes along and we will try them on!
-Sept 01 (Saturday) - 1PM to 3PM.

The venue for all the above is : 

7630, Kirwin Lane
Cupertino

We may get the JCC auditorium for an hour of stage practice on Sept 07 evening. Will confirm details.

The assumption for the above practice dates is that the music, recording and costumes are all in place and ready to go!

Again, please do not miss the practices above as they are critical for your child and the other children as well. Please call me at (408)507-4590 in case of any further questions.

Thanks,
Madhavi

Sure. Gautam and some of the other kids could carpool with me on Saturday and Sunday.
Since we are meeting at 11 AM on Sunday in Cupertino, we wont have our usual practice session at 9 AM in Milpitas.
Kids who want to carpool with me (I can take at the most 6) can gather at my home at 12.30 PM on Saturday
and 10.30 AM on Sunday.

We have only 2 weekends left... so let's try our best to attend all the practice sessions. 

Thanks,
Supriya

Hi Savitha,

Sorry for the confusion. I was merely trying to get parents opinion on the costume and not coordinate. I did not know Milpitas group has so many Greek soldiers. But good thing I sent it to all now really everyone can have similar costumes. As we don't know the kids sizes it is best they order it individually along with the helmet. Since Madhavi wants costume ready by this week end it is better to do it soon.

Warm Regards,

-Ratna

Ratna

I am OK with ordering the costumes for $25. Satchin can use it for Halloween this year :)). Were you going to order the costumes for all the kids or do we order it individually ourselves?

Regards
Savitha

In order to keep the costumes for all in the same format. I am requesting all Greek soldier parents to respond: 
 
If you have planed out the greek costume for your child along with helmet. Please share information 
or
You all are okay to order costumes and the cost may be around $25.00/ person. We need to decide quickly on this. Below are the links for the costumes from Amazon.

Greek Costume: $19.00

Helmet (simple) $5.00

Helmet with feathers: $10.00

changing the subject line...

Ratna,

Just a suggestion...

Please take a look at Oriental Trading company - it is a great site that has many things at usually at a lower price.


also check page 7 under "Novelty Hats"  for a similar hat that may work. Attaching a picture for reference. Check the Trojan hat on the same page as well.


Thanks,
Madhavi

In the interest of money I think Ratna's link has good pricing. The price is now $18.48 ! It cannot get lesser I suppose. We can avoid helmets to save money

Check this website below. Instead of helmets, we can make a head band like in the picture below. Only Alexanders can order feathered helmets.

Thanks Madhavi,

Children under 10 can go with Oriental Trading company for better pricing as it is a complete costume along with headpiece. Link below 

(Ages 8-10) Soldier Costume: $12.75

I checked that. It does not look that grand. Besides we want all kids to look the same. Makes it grand.

Just discussed with Ashwini, and here is the plan.

We'll go ahead and order for everyone. Could Ratna (south bay) and Supriya(Milpitas) please send out a consolidated list with details of how many to order and what size?

Can we get this by about 2PM or 3PM? That way, we don't lose the costumes on sale and time.

Regards,
Madhavi

What about Alexanders? Should they get the same and then order Helmets with Feathers there itself? Parents/Coordinators please confirm. We can order using Yoga Bharati credit card when all orders are confirmed.

Rekha is okay for Alexander also. I think I saw Supriya's email also mentioning Alexanders. So we should be good.

Hi Sushma,

I checked with Madhavi and looks like we can't change the timings.
Please try your best to be there.

Thanks for understanding Sushma. There are various factors at play for the timings - the committee meets at 2PM Sunday and there are various other conflicts that had to be worked into the timing. 

Trying our best to accommodate and make it work for all! Please let us know if one of us can pick up /drop off Shaina.

Regards,
Madhavi

Sushma and all,

We will have our usual Milpitas group practice session on Sunday (Sep 2) morning from 9 to 11 AM.
Please let me know if everybody are ok with this.
However, I am also willing to move the Sunday practice session to Saturday evening if everybody want their sunday and monday off. Please confirm.

Later we will have our final weekday dance practice on Tuesday (Sep 4th) at 7.30 PM and 
Dance+Drama practice on Thursday (Sep 6th) at 7.30 PM (tentatively both in Milpitas location).

Please let me know if you can't make it beforehand.

Thanks,
Supriya

Namaste All,

So, we are meeting for our first weekend rehearsal on Saturday, September 01, at 1PM. Lots of people expressed last week that the space was not sufficient to get an idea etc. hence we are renting space from Tulip Center for Saturday's practice. Hence please do not miss this opportunity to practice with the group.

Tulip Center's address is:

133 East Fremont Avenue  Sunnyvale, CA 94087 

Reporting time for Saturday is: 12:45 PM sharp. Walking in late always throws the scenes off for your friends - so, please co-operative and reach on time!

We are also trying to see if ICC can give us a hall to practice on Monday Sept 03 from 2PM to 4PM (it's labor day weekend). We are waiting to get a confirmation. Will keep this group posted.

It's an exciting last week before we go live - let's hang in there and do all that we can to make it the best!

Chinmay/Vedant - I did request you yesterday to call all the youth to ensure we have everyone. Thanks for your help guys!

Regards,
Madhavi

Namaste All,

So, the practice for Monday (Sept 03) is confirmed at ICC Milpitas. Please plan on assembling at ICC Milpitas at 2PM (up until 5PM)

- Bring your costumes without fail (even an equivalent would do if you still do not have the final costume)
-Come on time
-Send any audio files immediately (dance songs). We need to have a copy at the earliest so that we have the time to test it.

Regards,
Madhavi
