Hey Hawks!
We are coming up on the time to cast our Region/State team for this year's competition. This is a chance to compete in a category below and win awards, scholarships, and recognition. We are the 5 time reigning champions in this Region, so let's keep it going! In case you are interested, the following categories are open for spots on team:
- Musical Theatre (2-6 minutes)
- Classical Scenes (Before 1900 and 3-6 minutes)
- Contemporary Scenes (After 1901 and 3-6 minutes)
- Dramatic Monologues (2-6 minutes)
- Comedic Monologues (2-6 minutes)
- Pantomime (2-6 minutes)
We need four at least in each category. If we have over that many strong people audition in a category, we may over-cast and do a challenge round the first week of March for our final competitors list. As a heads up, I KNOW right now we don't have enough in the Pantomime category on the Interest Sheet we passed around in classes. We will have an initial audition on January 26th after school to cast our rehearsal team - you should prepare your intended piece and then we will work after. It doesn't need to be perfect, but prepared and solid for an audition. You are welcome to stay any day after school the next two weeks until 5pm to practice as needed or use advisory time. If we don't have enough in a certain category, we may talk to you about switching to a new category - we HAVE to have a full team to win region and take state!
There will be a mandatory 15 minute meeting on January 27th right after school 12:30pm in the Green Room of the PAC to talk over coach assignments, hand out permission slips, and deadlines for things.
After casting, rehearsals in February will be fairly independent. You will be assigned "coaches" to help clean your piece and workshop with you and must work with them at least 3-4 times in February - otherwise, you will schedule your own times to practice, but we will be here almost every day after school to open the building. In March, you will begin to work with Struiksma and Cline - we will have a sheet on the call-board where you can signup for a time to work with us. You will be required to come to three team days in March, dates TBD. Then, we will compete on March 23rd at Alta High from 2:30-8:30pm. If you make it onto state, which we WILL help you do, you will compete at Viewmont High School in Bountiful all day on April 15th. We will provide a bus for transportation. YOU MUST be available for region and state competition dates - no exceptions!
If you have further questions, please email Miss Struiksma or Miss Cline and we will get back to you within 48 hours with a response. If you wish to audition, let us know in advance and we will assign you and audition time based on class and needs. Thank you and break legs!
