For your reference, here are the parts that each of you will be in and their corresponding timestamps:

1:30-1:46 | Group B | Another Day of Sun

1:46-2:05 | Group A | Another Day of Sun

2:05-2:48 | Full Team | Another Day of Sun

2:48-3:34 | Group B | Planetarium (I think)

3:34-4:32 | Group A | Summer

4:32-4:54 | Group B | Planetarium

4:54-5:35 | Full Team | Planetarium

6:32-7:39 | Full Team | Mia and Sebastian's Theme

An important note: The first combo that we learned last rehearsal (to 'Another Day of Sun') will only be performed by Group A. However, the second combo (to 'Planetarium') will be performed by the full team.

This week we will (try to) set the entire beginning of the dance (0:00-1:15). Please review the formation structure beforehand.

As for costumes, I'm considering a slight pivot (I would like to match the color theory of the story if possible). So, I'm putting my plan for this on hold as I will have to deliberate with the captains to see if this is a plausible course.

Finally, I'd like to clarify my reasoning behind these messages, as I know there have been questions. All essential information is communicated via Slack (i.e., the most relevant part of this message is the group allocations, which have already been shared). These longer write-ups are meant to consolidate everything relevant for the week in one place, while giving a bit more context on the process and the dance as a whole.

This is as important for me as it is for you- my planning spans many weeks ahead, and I need a more structured medium to stay organized and keep track of it all as things develop.

That's all from me- Looking forward to our next rehearsal!
