I had a post regarding cancellation and submitted it prior to leaving school today but it did not go through. I apologize to anyone that didn't get the one call and ended up out at the school. The decision ultimately came down to safety. Again, apologies
practice canceled
Stay inside and keep safe/warm! No signs of snow letting up. Please be prepared with your parts going in to next week

Coming up
Ah boy, here we go.
They are calling for lots of snow tonight in to tomorrow morning. I will make a decision to go or not go by 6:30am tomorrow morning. Please share with as many people as you can when I make the decision so no one is left out in the cold....pun intended.
Depending on if we have rehearsal tomorrow, I may need to bump practices up longer for next week. Not an ideal situation, but we need to get some of the new people up to speed and keep everyone fresh with the show with reps. Keep an open mind as we approach the final week...unfortunately, we aren't solid in every aspect of the show, but come to rehearsals with lines memorized and be ready to move quick during rehearsals.
Thanks to the parents for being so flexible
Thanks to Morgan Haulman, Hunter Judy, Zack Moore, and Garrett Nott for coming out today to help get the stage ready for the week :)

final week
With the past 2 days being canceled, we are in a bit of a frenzy. Please pass word that we are still having practice tomorrow, February 21st from 830 to noon. Quartet members need to report at 8 am for rehearsal. Please pass this word along to others. Next week is dress rehearsals until 5 on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. I will try to get a practice on for Thursday (if I can get out of doing OHC festival) and our final dress rehearsal is Friday morning with performances next weekend. Please pass word to your friends. Please please please practice your lines and music today

First read through
First off, congratulations to our cast members for surviving another round of auditions.
Our first read through, which will involve the entire cast will be on Thursday, November 13th starting at 2:45 on the stage.
Please be aware that speaking roles will be given a show book, while Towns folk and extras will receive copies of their songs only, not to diminish the importance of a role, but it is simply more cost effective to not give everyone a book for 2 songs.
There will be opportunities for short solos in the ensemble songs, so if you are interested in a solo, please plan to show up for this rehearsal.
The read through should finish up at around 4pm, depending on how much talking goes on during the read through (the less talky talky, the quicker we'll get out)
Rehearsal schedule will be passed out on this day for the next three months
The dates of the show are February 27 and 28 starting at 7pm and March 1 starting at 2pm.
Bring a flash drive to receive copies of the music for your practicing purposes. I will not be burning CDs (unless absolutely necessary) this year, but simply transferring tunes over digitally.

Audition Results/Cast List
Thank you to everyone that came out to audition. There were several people that stated they wanted to be involved in the production as an extra. If you were one of those people and you do not see your name on here, that doesn't mean you can't be a part of the show. That only means I forgot to write your name down as it wasn't handy for me at the time to do so. If you, or anyone you know is interested in being an extra for the show, just come see me. It will NOT be a big deal:)
Furthermore, there are many parts that we did not group together as they are things we will figure out as we do rehearsals. (Wa Tan Ye dancers, Traveling Salesmen etc )
