DETAILS BELOW:

Our spring concerts are quickly approaching and I wanted to get some details out about the dress rehearsals and performances so you can put them on your calendar and make necessary arrangements to have your students where they need to be and when.  Tickets for the Secondary Spring Concerts on May 16^th and 17^th, at D. L. Parsons Theater, will be available for purchase at the front desk the first week of May.

MONDAY, MAY 15^th – (Dress Rehearsals only, No Performances)

1:00-2:15pm – WEDNESDAY MUSICAL THEATER, DRESS REHEARSAL

2:15-3:45pm – THURSDAY MUSICAL THEATER, DRESS REHEARSAL

3:45-4:15 – SMALL GROUP ENSEMBLE – “LOST IN THE 50’S TONIGHT”

4:15-5:30pm – FRIDAY MUSICAL THEATER, DRESS REHEARSAL

TUESDAY, MAY 16^th – (Dress Rehearsals and Performance)

This is always the most challenging schedule to put together as some of you are only in one of my performance classes and others of you are involved in all of them.  Each year I do my best to put together a schedule that will help keep those of you that are only in one of my classes from having to be at the theater all afternoon and evening.  However, this keeps us from ever being able to run the complete program straight through before we perform and that has proven a challenge.  This year I have decided to plan the rehearsal schedule so we might have a chance to do a run-through of the show.  This may require some of you to return to the theater more than once throughout the afternoon.  You may also plan to bring school work or reading so you can stay at the theater and remain productive when you are not scheduled to be on stage.

12:15-2:00pm – MS CHOIR (please arrive at the theater at 12:15 so we are ready to begin at 12:30)

1:30-3:15pm – HS CHOIR (please arrive at 1:30 so we can practice singing “I Lived” with the MS Choir before they are dismissed)

3:00-4:30pm – WORLD PERCUSSION (please arrive at the theater at 3:00pm so we are ready to begin at 3:15)

WEDNESDAY, MAY 17^th – (Performance only, No Rehearsals)

SPRING 2016

As we enter 2016 my Musical Theater classes will be continuing to prepare for our production of "Peter Pan Jr." which will be performed March 1st and 2nd, 2016. 

All my music classes will also start learning new material for our Spring performances in May, in which all Choir, World Percussion and Musical Theater students will participate.

Be on the lookout for new posts over the next few weeks containing videos and recordings of the music you should be practicing.

Here's looking forward to a new semester in a new year.

Small Groups for the Spring Performance: 

Here are your practice links and videos.

Opera Duet:  Ben & Corri

Lá ci darem la mano - from Don Giovanni
Lyrics by Lorenzo da Ponte and Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Here is a link to the instrumental track you will sing along with.  Happy Practicing!

Here is another link of a high school guys group performing the song 

"I Love That Old Barbershop Style"

I used the video of the high school guys above to record this, their ending is slightly out of tune which makes the piano sound a bit off but the recording is still good for practice;

TENOR PART- WILL

LEAD PART- GRAHAM

BARITONE PART- CAYDEN

BASS PART- BLAKE
