No Rehearsal Tomorrow

The end of the trimester makes this a difficult week for teachers. Take Wednesday off as well and keep an eye out for Sunday plans!

No rehearsal tomorrow

Use Monday afternoon to review blocking and download RMS Coach. 

Update to Online Vocal Coach

Hi again!

If you checked yesterday and tried to download the vocal coach program, you noticed the tab I spoke of was mysteriously missing!

It's been "turned on" and is now accessible. Try again! Thanks!

Online Vocal Coach

Hello SOM Cast!

Guess what? We have access to an online vocal coach!

I know what you're thinking. "That's great but only the director can access it on her computer." Right?

Wrong! You can access it from your computer! Click on the Music Downloads tab above and follow the directions to begin singing!

Remember- you are expected to know your music when you arrive for rehearsal. You now have access to music from the entire show and can slow it down, change the key and all sorts of other things. Take the time necessary to learn how to use the program and it will benefit you greatly!

Rehearsal Schedule

Hello Genesians!

Our goal for the next three rehearsals is to block scenes through page 30. Some scenes might take longer than others to block which is why it's hard to determine who we'll need until after we've completed the rehearsal before. That being said, the rehearsal schedule is tentative and subject to change. 

Pick up is always outside the front gates of the school. If we're in the cafeteria, please drop off at the back gate and still pick up in the front of the building. 

Wednesday, Feb. 11th AND Wednesday, Feb. 18th until 5:30 PM

NO Rehearsal Today

Hi Genesians,

I've had a lot of questions about what time rehearsal is today. If I don't post on the blog by the time you wake up in the morning, you can assume there's no rehearsal that day!

My plan is to spend the first handful of rehearsals teaching choreography for the musical numbers that require the most movement such as Maria, Do-Re-Mi, Sixteen Going on Seventeen, The Lonely Goatherd and So Long, Farewell.

That means you need to know your music! Spend this free afternoon learning the songs you sing and knowing them like the back of your hand. The sheet music pages are in the back of your script. If you cannot find a track to sing along with online, please let me know.

CREW Meeting Revision
