MADRIGAL DINNER INFORMATION

Below you will find information we discussed at our parent meeting in August:

• What is the dinner?
  • The dinner is a Renaissance-themed event. It is a scripted catered dinner during which meal, wassail (like spiced cider punch), and dessert are all served timed to the script. The kids sing throughout and there is a jester that emcees the event. There is also an interactive element for the guests. Think Medieval Times without the horses and more singing! 

Dinner is provided to students by booster parents these three nights.

• Needs for the dinner:
  • Many hands make the work light!
  • Since we do our dinner in a space off campus, we need help transporting our set and costumes. We will need help setting up and decorating the space as well as resetting each night so we can be ready for the next show. We will need help breaking it all down and getting it back to the high school. We will need help with snacks, water, and dinner for the students. We will need help backstage with plating and serving our guests throughout the dinner.
  • Specific sign-up needs will be posted here when made available.
• Background checks required for all volunteers. Anyone that helps and will be around students must have a completed one on file with the district. We will need those submitted right away. That form is linked at the top under FISD Volunteer Form
