Practice file links are located on my school webpage. Just click on the left sidebar labeled Excalibur and there should be files for all six files that open up. One of the links is acting weird and I will try to troubleshoot it in the next 24 hours. Please let me know if you experience any other problems with the practice files and have fun learning the music! It is great stuff- I can't wait!

2011- 2012 Musical

This year's musical will be a tap dancing, gun-slinging, spotlight-seeking comedy by the Gershwin brothers called Crazy for You! It is a fun show, with songs every American ought to know.... Someone to Watch Over Me, Embraceable You, I've Got Rhythm... and it will be in the fall. In the Little Theatre. For 2 weekends.

Auditions will begin on August 30 and rehearsals will begin September 6. Be sure to attend the informational meetings: Thursday, August 25 at 11:15 (grades 10- 12) and Friday, August 26 at 12:15 (grade 9). Shows are November 11-13 & 18-20.

It is our hope that a fall show will open up performance opportunities for some of you who haven't been able to do a musical yet. Think about it- it is fun!

Start working on those monologues and Broadway tunes NOW! See you on the stage!
