Show Choir News
The Show Choir will sing "The National
Anthem" at Kickapoo's home game this Friday night, February 7. Wear nice jeans and a Wilson's Creek Shirt. The school shirt will get the singer and a parent into the game free of charge. We will meet at 7:00 p.m., and sing the Anthem about 7:25 p.m. Singers need to know where to meet their parent after singing - or know where their parent is up in the stands. McBride is singing with us and possibly another choir that missed getting to sing at an earlier game due to inclement weather.
* Rehearsals for the spring show are every Tuesday at 7:30 a.m.
sharp! All singers are expected to attend every remaining rehearsal in
the spring semester to continue participating in the choir; please refer to the
Show Choir brochure for detailed attendance information.
Note: There will be NO SHOW CHOIR REHEARSALS during spring break
and during the weeks of MAP testing (exact dates TBA).
If a rehearsal or performance were to be canceled or postponed due
to an emergency (inclement weather, etc.) a Remind 101 text would be sent ASAP.
* A calendar was given out two weeks ago with dates and times of
before school dance and skit rehearsals. It is understandable if your student
cannot make one or two extra rehearsals but he/she must attend the majority of
the extra rehearsals to perform in the extra activity.
* The mini-skit, "Superheroes Support Group," was given out at
Tuesday's rehearsal to interested students. Auditions were last Thursday,
February 9 before school. The last opportunity to audition for the skit will be
this Friday, February 14 from 8:15 - 8:40 in the music room. There are 4
available roles. The skit ties in with the theme that every person - even
ordinary people - can make a difference in the world! The skit will be a part
of the spring show. Students interested in the roles must be available to
come to a few before school rehearsals, Please see the calendar (extra
copies available outside the music room).
* There are not enough dance/solo/acting/speaking roles for every
interested student. Dancers were selected by the "dance choreographers" with my
assistance. Actors will be chosen based on who "fits" the character of the role
the best (and excellent attendance) and soloists/speakers will be chosen
via a drawing, concentrating on those who did not have a solo/speaking part last
semester (as well as excellent attendance).
*Most importantly, it is imperative that students learn to be a
supportive part of the choir/team whether or not they are in the spotlight,
which is part of the learning process. Everyone is an important part of the team; crucial to the success of the group.
Note: To ensure a stellar performance experience for the
entire choir, all singers/dancers/actors/actresses/speakers must attend
all Show Choir rehearsals unless the
absence is excused via parental contact, otherwise the special role will
be assigned to another student.
Furthermore, only the Show Choir members attending the
remainder of the Show Choir rehearsals this semester, with the exception of
excused absences with parental contact, will get to participate in the spring
Day Tour and Wilson's Creek performances.
