CLOVERS & COMPANY FIRST REHEARSAL WEEKEND - August 1-3,2014

To: 2014-2015 Clovers & Company Members & Parents

Re: First Rehearsal to be held August 1-3 for Georgia 4-H Clovers & Company=s 34th year
We are extremely excited about the coming year with you as a part of Clovers & Co. We have a tremendous challenge ahead of us. The staff has been working overtime to get the show together. Here are details for the August 2-4 weekend:
Arrival at Rock Eagle: Report to the BARKALOO RICH BUILDING on Friday, August 1st between 6:45 - 7:30 PM. Please eat dinner before you come and please do not arrive early. Be on time so that we can stay on our tight weekend time schedule. Have any paperwork and payments not paid online ready to turn in.
Length of Rehearsal: 7:45 PM Friday until 4:00 PM Sunday. We will present some songs at 3:15 PM on Sunday for parents and friends but not the entire show.
***Parent=s Meeting: We will hold an orientation meeting for ALL Clovers parents on Friday evening at approximately 8:00 PM. We ask that ALL parents plan to come and stay for this meeting even if you are not staying for the entire weekend.
Cost is $180.00: Clovers & Co. members pay this to defray the cost of the two rehearsal weekends. You can pay this as you check in on Friday evening OR you can prepay online using your credit or debit card! The link to pay online is available on the Clovers & Co. cast only page at: http://www.georgia4h.org/public/edops/cloversandcompany/membersonly/default.html. The passwords you will need are:

User name:  cloversandco and Password: cl@ver28.


Thereafter, most expenses for shows and rehearsals will be covered including meals and lodging. However , when we travel out of state, we will ask Clovers members to help defray some of the expenses. There will also be costume rental / purchase fees. You will hear more about this at the Parent meeting at Rehearsal weekend.


***Music: We will purchase and distribute printed music for many of the songs during our first practice weekend. In many cases, we listen to recorded versions of the songs to work on style and pull chords/voice parts.  We do not require anyone to purchase the recorded music but much of it is available on ITunes.  Dr. Bo Ryles has established a playlist on Spotify at: Clovers and Co 2014-15
You can listen to Spotify for free on your PC.

Understand that in many cases we are not using potions of the songs and will often delete lyrics which do not convey the message we have in mind. Band members only will be provided with CDs of all songs to listen to.   Once you accept your position in the cast, we can send you a list of the songs in the show via email. You can always email me at cv4h@uga.edu.



I have also set up a new Facebook group for Clovers & Co. 2014-2015 for our cast and parents and post any updates there as well. My Facebook name is Cheryl Reagan Varnadoe ,so please ‘friend” me and I will invite you and your parents to join our new group.

Parents & Siblings Attending Weekend: Clovers & Company is a family affair. Parents and siblings are invited to attend this and all rehearsals. You must pre-register online. Their cost for full-time attendance for this weekend is $105.00. Please bring your own linens, etc.
