Who made the musical?

all students who made this year's musical list! Congratulations to everyone!
--------------------------------------
Which musical will we do this year?
The musical for the 2008-2009 school year has not yet been chosen.
--------------------------------------
What does 'auditions' mean?
If you wanted to become a basketball player, you would need to 'try-out' for
the team. In music, this 'try-out' is called an audition. So, if you want to
be a member of the school musical, you will need to audition for it.
--------------------------------------
When are auditions? Where are auditions? Who can audition?
Information regarding auditions will be posted at a later time. Please check
back for details.
--------------------------------------
Who made the cast?

all cast members in this year's musical! Congratulations to everyone!
--------------------------------------
Can I get a copy of the musical songs so I can practice at home?
Go to the 'Printable Forms' section of this website. You can print off a
copy of all the songs from there, once the musical has been selected.
--------------------------------------
What do I do to audition?
Sing a song for me! Sing your favorite song, a song you sing at church , or
even a children's song like, 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,' 'Happy
Birthday,'
or the 'Alphabet Song!'
--------------------------------------
Will it cost me anything to be in the musical?
Students will be asked to send in a few dollars toward the cost of a matching
performance T-shirt. More information on this will be given in the spring.
--------------------------------------
Who will hear me sing when I audition?
Auditions will be in front of Mrs. Kelly only. One student at a time
will enter the music room to sing. No others will be present during the
auditions.
--------------------------------------
Do I have to audition if I only want to be a support cast member?
Yes. The first step in becoming ANY member of the musical is audition
to audition!
After you've passed the auditions, then we will determine who will be
cast and supporting cast members.
--------------------------------------
What is the difference between cast and supporting cast members?
Cast members are those students who are acting/singing on stage. They have
speaking and/or singing parts that are performed in front of the audience.
Support cast members are the students who work 'behind the scenes' to help
make the musical successful. Examples of supporting cast crew include:
sound,
lighting, greeter, curtains, prompters, and props/scenery. These students
are
not seen by the audience during a performance, but their role is critical
during the production. There is also a third group of students: chorus
members. Chorus members are seated off to the side of the stage during a
performance. They have no acting parts, but they will be singing together
during the songs to assist the cast members.
--------------------------------------
Will it be hard to memorize my lines?
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! No it will not be difficult
to memorize. We will break the musical into sections and focus on different
areas to memorize each week.
--------------------------------------
Why can't I be a cast member before I get into 5th grade?
Cast member and supporting cast memeber roles are reserved for fifth grade
students only. Third, fourth, and some fifth grade students will be placed
in the chorus.
--------------------------------------
If I don't have my permission slip signed, can I still audition?
No. Only students who return a signed permission form can audition for the
musical.
--------------------------------------
Do I have to stay after school to practice?
Yes, but only a few times. There will only be 5 or 6 rehearsals scheduled
after school as it gets closer to the performance date.
--------------------------------------
When is the performance?
The performance date has not yet been set for the 2009 production. It will
begin at 6:30pm and it will be held in the NES gym.
--------------------------------------
What song do I have to sing at auditions?
Any song! It can be a song you know from church, a country song, rock song,
or even a children's song. If you still don't know what to sing, just
sing 'Happy Birthday to Me!'
--------------------------------------
Can I still audition even if I didn't make it last year?
Yes!
--------------------------------------
How many students from each class will make it into the musical?
There is no set number from each class. Results are determined by the
quality of the audition, and not the number of students in a class.
--------------------------------------
When will the results be posted?
Results will be posted a couple weeks after all students have had the
opportunity to audition.
