Hey y'all...
I had a request for a new entry from someone who shall remain nameless (except in the title of the blog)... so here it is.
There are a couple of things to cover:
1. Theatre Repertory trip to London: I hope you are all as excited as I am to jump the pond next weekend. I'm looking forward to 8 days of theatre (with an "re",)sight-seeing, bubble & squeek, bonding, and fun!
Our final meeting to go over last minute details with both students and parents will take place on Tuesday, February 12th at 6pm in the Auditorium. Please make sure to bring your passport so that we can photocopy them for safety. See you then :o)
2. Cuckoo's Nest: A couple of things here. First, You all need to be off book by Monday, February 11th. Start memorizing now! You only have two weeks to work off book before Tech Week, and those two weeks are broken up by a week long break!
Second, some of you (not mentioning any names) are still pretty far behind on your making your Ad requirements! It is not too late. Please don't let the company down by slacking on your responsibilities. It is just not fair :o(
Third, after my rant yesterday, it was nice to see y'all taking more risks on stage today. However, you could still be more impulsive. I'm giving you carte blanche to go with any impulse you have on stage. Run with it! There is nothing about this material that is safe or pedestrian, so don't let your acting fall into this trap. I want to see more edgy, bold, specific choices in your acting!
3. Senior Musical: We are off to a good start! I have enjoyed what I have heard so far, and I hope you are all having fun. A few things to keep in mind:
First, please check the schedule often and come to all the rehearsals that you are scheduled for. If you can not make a rehearsal, please email me, Emily, A.J., or Ryan ASAP so that we know about it (and so we won't send you a cranky little email.)
Second, please try to keep it down during singing rehearsals. Even though all of you are not being used ALL the time, and you might think you are being quiet by whispering, the sound of a whisper multiplied by 150 is very loud! Try to keep it down so Howard can mold you into better singers.
Third, Linda had to cancel dances for this week, but they will resume next week! Please check the new schedule for any changes.
I think that is all for now... If anybody needs to reach me during the break, don't even try. I'll be too busy enjoying a spot of Earl Grey with Ella in Brighton.
Cheerio (That's the Queen's English for Peace.)
