Zombie Prom--some photos.

I did a poor job on photography this time around, but offer these photos as a small measure of the great fun and wonderful performances our Thespians did on ZOMBIE PROM. Most are from Sunday's performance, with a few from dress rehearsal on Thursday.

Zombie Prom!

Competitons postponed

The competitions that were scheduled for this Saturday, November 6, 2010, have been postponed to November 20, 2010.

I think these include Thespians and PGFC.

Message re Math Court

This message in from our fearless Math leaders:

Hi Coaches,

To accommodate the large number of participants in the NFL competition, we've had to deal with room changes and event delays, but thanks to your patience and willingness to adapt to change, we feel the event was a success for all, so thank you for that. Math Court will not be able to function without your help.

The November event is fast approaching, and we have a few reminders for you so that we can run the event as efficiently as possible:

Ribbons can be picked up at the next event scheduled for November 13th at Chacha Oceanview Jr. High. We understand that many of the competitors in Math Court are also involved in NFL as well. Because of this, our start time for the students, is 1400. We will start accepting payment at 1300 and hold the proctor's meeting at 1345.

Registration deadline is November 5, so don't wait till the last minute to ask for codes and registering your students.

Just because Dora sends you codes that you've requested, it does not mean they are registered! Few schools confused this last event, and so some students weren't allowed to participate. As soon as Dora sends you the codes, register them using the google doc link. You can register more than once, so you do not need to wait for new codes to register veteran competitors who already have codes.
As soon as registration is received, we will send you a confirmation that we've received it, along with a copy/paste of the registration received (complete with time-stamp and code). That way, you can verify your codes and also use that e-mail as a basis in case a problem occurs. We will check google docs frequently, but a quick e-mail telling us you've submitted the registration and want confirmation is also helpful for us.

Dora/Reo

Don't forget--Math Court has its own website now, too.

Thespians-in the Saipan Tribune

The Saipan Tribune finally picked up the "Zombies Are Hot!" press release. Yay!

Clarissa David of the Trib has also expressed interest in thespian activities, as well as forensics, math court and the CCHLS competitions. So perhaps we'll see more press for all of our competition participants.

Thespians in the Marianas Variety

The Marianas Variety published the article about our Zombie Prom auditions.

They included the photos of the directors and drummer auditioning, but didn't publish the photo of Mr. Easton teaching the dance routine.

The Tribune has not (yet?) published the piece, although it was sent to them also.

ZOMBIE PROM--preliminary CAST LIST!

The cast list for Zombie Prom is out! See below.

It's called a "preliminary" cast list. I'm guessing that's because the directors will need confirmations from all who are cast that they accept the roles assigned, can meet the rehearsal schedules and other demands of the show, and will effectively learn their parts. The "final" cast list will probably come out on the first day of the show. :-)

I have listed the student's school where I know it; my apologies to those students who do not have their school's name listed. I'll get that updated as soon as possible. Apologies for any misspelled names, also.

Zombies Are Hot!--updated

TWPI scheduled auditions for their up-coming musical, Zombie Prom, this week. The turnout was staggering! I'm still waiting for the final tally--update--57 students auditioned for stage roles, from MHS, SSHS, GCA, MBA, SIS, and HJHS. On Tuesday, September 14, room D 101 at MHS was packed with enthusiastic students--group A-- awaiting their turns to sing and read for the cast.




These students returned Thursday, September 16 for dance auditions, which included a 30 minute lesson and practice session on the lindy given by Mr. Easton. He had no difficulties executing moves!


(This photo from the Saturday dance lesson.)

The students worked up a sweat and had fun, too.





While group A students were learning the rehearsal dance moves on Thursday, more students --auditioners group B--were at D 101 taking turns singing and reading for their first stage of auditions!



After group B cleared the room from their hard work, the dancing auditioners took turns in groups of three pairs showing off their new lindy moves.

The group B auditioners (and any group A students who didn't make the Thursday dance drill) returned for dance auditions on Saturday.




And then there were band and musician auditions on Saturday.




Directors Dowen Jocson, Chiantee Rosete, and Craig Hart have been busy watching every single student tryout, taking notes, giving audition grades, etc.



They held some call backs on Sunday and may have more forthcoming, as they process all the information they've accumulated and work on casting. While they hope to get every interested student on stage, they will have to assign roles and post their casting list before moving on the daunting but fun task of rehearsing this musical comedy.

The energy is atomic!
