Daily Stuff: Went in today and okayed a couple of new trainees for the company. Uploaded the new 24 Preludes for next week, so that is ready. Sent out some reminders to dancers regarding contracts for next season.

Then went up to Carlsbad to have my first first production meeting and rehearsal for a production of SUDS I am directing at New Village Arts. Looks to be a good show. The cast sounded great singing the songs. Mainly a music rehearsal today, so I got out of the way and let our music director, Justin, do his thing.
