Container - something to keep it in and transport your equipment. If this is something you plan on doing again, it is worth the investment in a caboodle or a train case. Even a tupperware container can work. A simple Ziploc bag will work. The makeup can break if jarred too much so a hard case is a better choice. Label everything!!!

Fundraising and other responsibilities
A reminder that everyone who participates in Masquers (either on or off stage) must be a member of Masquers and must have filled out a form and given it to the main office. If you just plan on being in the musical, you still need to do this.
Everyone is responsible for fundraising. Meetings will be the second and third Thursdays of September to prepare us for the fundraising. It's how we pay for the show - so it is very important that you participate.
