“One of the greatest pleasures I find in the arts is to be astonished at human ability...Such a spectacle of gratuitous talent incites me, not only to praise the artist, but to praise God for giving such ability to human beings.” Gene Veith, State of the Arts

BRIGADOON AUDITIONS

The time has come for the auditions for our spring music! We are putting on "Brigadoon" on April 16th-18th! This show has a wonderful story and I hope to see many at the auditions. If you are unfamiliar with the show, you can read the synopsis. You may also listen to music samples on Rhapsody. (Please note that this album is from 1947, so the don't be too distracted with the style.)

If you intend on auditioning, you must attend at least one of the music workshops with Mrs. Selby. The workshops will be on January 12th through 14th during lunch and on January 13th after school for about 20 minutes. You will be learning the music with which you will be auditioning. Rather than each person selecting his/her own piece of music, each student will audition with the song "Almost Like Being in Love." You are welcome to come to all of the workshops.
The actual auditions will be held on January 14th-15th from 3pm-5:30pm in Mr. Madden's room. During the audition you will individually sing "Almost Like Being in Love". Please sign up for a musical audition time slot on the sheet posted by Mrs. Selby's room.
You will also be performing readings from the script. You need only to attend one of the audition dates. Attending both does not increase your odds of recieving a part.
If you have any other questions, ask Mr. Madden.
