Enjoy the sunshine! 🎶 Mrs. Broeker

The "Little Mermaid Cast," will present "Little Mermaid Jr" next week on Thursday, June 1. During Music 6, students are preparing scenes from a variety of musicals. They can choose to sing, dance, and/or act!! In Keyboard Class students performed songs composed in minor keys. Learning "the Wild Horseman" and "Für Elise" were still popular choices. The Vocal Power Singers rehearsed the music for their "Vocal Showcase."

Only 23 of the 60 scripts have been returned! Any cast member who does not return their script will not be eligible for a script next year.

In the past, Leads have written a note to the next person to play their role. They give advice on how to portray the character, handle performance jitters, and reminisce about their favorite moment. Keep the tradition going!

Return your script so that future productions will have additional scripts!

You will be recording the "Star Spangled Banner"

Thank you Emma B. and Joey W. for brilliantly representing the Emerson Musical

at the D64 School Board Meeting!!

We need to upgrade our sixteen year old sound system. Six of our microphone units are no longer useable. We are switching to a digital microphone system that will prevent feedback and improve the quality of sound. We will also be able to use rechargeable batteries which will be a huge savings. We use our Sound System for the Musical, Vocal Power, and Music Theater Workshop classes as well as additional performances. Please participate in our fundraisers whenever possible! THANK YOU ALL. Special thanks to Donna Zorba-O'Brien and Tina Serio for organizing the Dine to Donate at D'Agostino's Pizza and Pub Niles! D'Agostino's is donated 15% of all sales from Tuesday, March 7!

Watch for upcoming fundraisers at Panera and Triple Scoop'd!!

Thank you to Mr. Dan Pacurar for these amazing photos!
