| My S did not attend the "cruise" at the end of the CMU program. However, we have done that activity before. You can really wear anything that is neat and clean. Maybe a step above jeans for the CMU event.
As to the fan--you'll need one, but there is a Target nearby, so if you're traveling some distance, you may want to just pick one up there. Fan's are pretty cheap.
My S purchased tights for Styles class and wore them once. I think you may have to wear them that one time, so you have to purchase them, but DON'T spend a lot on money!!!!! Same with "hard soled" shoes.
If you have a bank card (debit card or Visa card), that would be the most practical. The Plaid Cash card works, but you lose what you put on and don't spend, so you have to be careful.
If you have plays or monologue books, you may want to bring them along. You will spend the first two weeks finding appropriate monologues and scenes for your classes. If you are in MT, I suppose you will want to have your favorite song books along. There is a wonderful library within walking distance, however. |
