Notes about the weekend
**Although tipping the housekeeping staff $1 a day per person is optional, we know how much they appreciate it since we create quite a mess with our makeup and performance preparations.
**All grooming products should be unscented, without exception. Allergic reactions can prevent others from being able to sing in the performance. Perfumes are never appropriate when sharing the close quarters of risers.
When you arrive in Sparks, please check in!
