Vocal Power Classes performed Country songs this week, learning how to change their vocal tone. Composers created music using compositional devices. In Music 6, students played melodies with boomwhackers, on bell sets, and on ORff instruments. Scales and Musical Intervals were sung using Solfège, an international vocal music language.

Keyboard students chose a song which challenged them to play with both hands. The most chosen song was Beethoven's Für Elise.

ALL PERFORMANCES AND DRESS REHEARSALS ARE MANDATORY!

• COVID-19 Quarantine Restrictions: Per district policy, any student who is quarantined will need to follow district rules regarding that quarantine. We cannot change the dates of the show or rehearsals because someone is quarantined/tests positive for COVID-19. This includes any district guideline that would require a student to quarantine. Student safety is a high priority.

• Grades: If a student is placed in Spark, they must exit within two weeks to still be in the cast. If they are still in Spark by February 14th, they cannot be in the musical and will be recast by the director.

• Attendance: If a student has 2 unexcused absences, they cannot be in the musical. An absence would be unexcused if the student does not inform the director. As long as the absence is communicated within 24-48 hours of the rehearsal, the student will be excused. Illness, missing school, and prior commitments made before accepting a role are all considered excused absences.

• Expectations: Students cast are expected to attend rehearsals on time, come prepared, and rehearse diligently. After three warnings a student may be recast in their role.

• Students who are exempt from PE for medical reasons may not dance or move items during a show depending on doctor/school nurse permission and guidance. Student safety is a high priority.

• Since Newsies Jr is a period piece, if a student is planning on cutting or dyeing their hair during the duration of the show they must notify the director in writing before February 1. This does not include getting hair trimmed. Notification allows for a wig to be purchased if needed. Students who do not comply may be recast.

• Acrobats must submit a video showing what they can do and emailed permission from a parent.

• All Cast members must be able to be photographed! We have lots of people taking pictures for publicity, and the yearbook. If you cannot be photographed, crew would be a better choice.
