I separated this post from the one below because it's more exciting. So last year I helped with our school play "High School Musical" - don't get me wrong - it was REALLY well done, I just am not really a fan of the movie. I just did snacks and usher organizing, etc., nothing crazy. I was definitely interested in doing more, but that's sometimes tough because I'm not in the Arts department.
WELL. I guess they couldn't get an arts person to do vocals, and Caroline (my former science coworker and director - she has since moved to only teaching arts) asked me. I am very excited but also freaking out a bit. It's just like prepping a brand new course. Except it's not my teachable. Yes, I can sing. Have I ever taught it? No. Luckily these kids seem awesome so far, but they'll still need a lot of direction. So....I am undertaking a BIG project - 4-5 day commitment per week big. I will also have "Friend Like Me" stuck in my head until April.
Auditions are next week Monday-Thursday (vocal and drama), and dance auditions are the following week (every person trying out must do all three).
Don't think you guys can get away with not seeing it. It's gonna be GREAT!
