Recital Pictures

This year Richard Harrison will again be taking pictures at all the shows during the recital. Posed pictures for the ballet will be taken only at the dress rehearsal on Thursday evening at the dance studio. He asks that the senior dancers try to organize the younger dancers to ensure that everyone is included in these group pictures. Individual pictures can also be taken for anyone wanting them. THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY FOR POSED PICTURES. The cost will be $5 for a 5x7 picture. Pictures will be available for viewing at the recital. However, as in the past, Richard is very limited in the equipment available. In order to ease the ordering process this year, there will be a special discount available for people ordering on the day of the recital only. The procedure will be. 1. Complete an order form, 2. Ensure a contact (Telephone) number is included, 3. Estimate how many pictures you want and prepay for the order (full refunds will always be given if needed). 4. Richard will contact you later to set up a viewing time. A special discount price of $20 (instead of $25) for five 5x7 pictures will be offered for all prepaid orders. Richard will try to arrange a convenient viewing time at the studio (or wherever is convenient) to select your photos or you can simply ask Richard to pick the best pictures of your favorite performer (specify the role and/or scene for the ballet or the name of dance for show 2 and 4).
