What’s expected on the SPHS Cappies Critic Team?

●  Although not a weekly commitment, every member is required to see at least 5 shows  a year, so when we are scheduled to see a show, you are expected to be there with the team. (If you have a conflict, let Ms. G know immediately.)

●  Shows are usually Friday nights, Saturday matinees and nights, and Sunday matinees.

●  Parents should expect to help carpool  team members to and/or from at least one show .

●  Make sure to remain updated  in whatever form of communication, GroupMe, iMessage, FaceBook, email, etc. the team uses to stay informed on important information needed.

●  As this team represents Severna Park High School, put a solid amount of time and effort into each and every one of your reviews.
