T-SHIRTS, ANYONE??

We are wondering if the cast, staff and orchestra members are interested in getting tshirts this year. We are required to order them through the company that R&H has contracted to do this.
To view the shirts, please go to www.stagepromotions.com/The_Sound_of_Music.html
We would order white shirts with the design shown on the website and they would have the names of all participants printed on the back. The cost would be $12 a shirt or $14 for size 2XL and up. It takes about 2 weeks to get them, so please respond and let us know who is interested!
