Hellooooooooooooooooooooo..............

Good Monring my little Whos!
I hope all is well on this 2nd week of school, here in Whoville.

All of the applications for auditions have been turned in...what a crew!
It will be exciting to hear all of you.
Auditions are Friday after school. Remember to bring a snack and the drink machine is only $1.00 if you want a cold drink.

Re-read the guidelines below for helpful hints on how to prepare. There are specific things I am looking for in the auditions and all the details are below! Prepare yourself well. You are only ever as good as you practice, so make your efforts worth while.

In class this week and next, we will continue to work through the script, so that you sort of have an idea of the storyline. Then, we hit the specifics of each song; emphasizing dynamics and individual interpretations. I am hoping to start choreography the beginning of Sept., which is in less than 2 weeks! Bwaaahhhhhh! Get ready to move:0)

I will see you all today, tomorrow, or Friday!
Have a great rest of the week!

Hello my Who's out there in Whoville.... being back at school this week has been fabulous.
The 5th graders have been off to a "Seussistical" start. The songs are fast and have lots of new words, but we are moving right along. I have received quite a few audition slips, remember that they are due next Tues. If you are considering auditioning, get that slip turned in so you can get your slip.

I am hoping to have the 1st 2 songs completed by the end of next week. Auditions will be Friday and then we can really get to work. Understanding who is singing what will simply things a bit. We will work on choreography and new music during each class period.

It is so good to have you all back and to see you each day. You make me smile with your energy.

Alright, this cat needs some sleep.
Talk to you soon!
