Chipotle/TGIFridays Fundraisers

4/6/2016

 
Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to touch base with everyone, especially if you are new to the senior high drama club, as to where the students involved in the musical go following the performances to get something to eat.

Thursday, April 7th-They do not go out as it is a school night


Friday, April 8th- TGIFridays.  This is a fundraiser for the drama club.  The drama club will receive a portion of the sales that day.  Please see the attached flyer which you will need to print out and give to your server in order for us to get credit for your purchase.  It can be used all day for lunch, dinner or carry out purchases.  Print as many flyers as you like and give them to family, friends and neighbors!


Saturday, April 9th-Monte Cello's on Babcock Blvd.


Wednesday, April 13th-They do not go out due to school


Thursday, April 14th-They do not go out due to school and exhaustion by this point!


Friday, April 15th-The big Eat N Park on McKnight Road (same side as Ross Park Mall)


Saturday, April 16th- Luncheon in between the matinee and evening performances and then the Cast Party at St. John's Church following the final show


CHIPOTLE FUNDRAISER-MONDAY 4/11

Also attached is a flyer for our Chipotle fundraiser.  The date for this is Monday, April 11th!  This is a fantastic fundraiser as the drama club will receive 50% of the sales that day between the hours of 3:00PM and 7:00PM.  Please print and bring this flyer with you, show it to the cashier on your smartphone, or simply tell the cashier you're supporting the North Hills Drama Club in order for us to receive credit for your purchase. 

​*Lastly, don't forget the parent preview tomorrow, April 6th at 4:30 PM! 

Thank you for your continued support, we are in the final stages!

Spring Break Rehearsals

2/19/2016

 
Monday, March 21 -- 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM 
Tuesday, March 22 -- 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Wednesday, March 23 -- 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Thursday, March 24 -- 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Friday, March 25 -- NO REHEARSAL
Saturday, March 26 -- Set Construction 9:30 – 2:00
                                    DANCE – Early Afternoon
Monday, March 28 -- 2:45 PM – 6:30 PM
 
It is not possible to know, at this time, what parts of the show will need the most work during Easter Break. 
 
Not everyone will have to attend everyday or all of each rehearsal.   There will be small group scene line work, ensemble work, ensemble dance, featured dancers, solo vocal, small group vocal, ensemble vocal and at least three run thru rehearsals with full cast.
 
Later we will decide what sections of the show need work and distribute a detailed rehearsal schedule for Easter break.  There will be a lot of dance rehearsals.
 
We have less than two weeks of rehearsal after Easter break.
 
There will be weekend rehearsals on Saturday, April 2 from 8:30 – 12:00 and Sunday, April 3 from 1:00 – 4:00. 
 
Set construction on April 2 will begin in the morning while we rehearse and end at 4:00 (or when completed).   

RMS Mix App for Practice

1/21/2016

 
Picture
Since there are no official recordings of the exact version of the show we are performing, we've purchased the audio practice tracks from the Rodgers & Hammerstein Music Library.  We're able to customize the show to include cuts or repeats that we make, upload it to the cloud, and cast members can download it after getting the app installed on their devices.

Here's how to gain access to our customized practice tracks:
  1. Download the RMS Mix app from the App Store or Google Play Store.
  2. After installing, open the app and enter your name and email address.
  3. Click on the "download shows" folder.
  4. Save the QR Code image below to your device, or just scan it from this screen to unlock our show.  If saving the image, select the "upload image" option and select it from your camera roll.
  5. Once the show appears, tap it to begin downloading each track.  Note: you'll need to have enough space on your device to store the entire show.  If not, the download will not complete and give an error message.
  6. After all tracks have been successfully downloaded, you can listen to any one you'd like, and can also isolate certain parts by clicking the symbol in the top right corner to show a mixer with volume controls for each part.  You can also enable the metronome to have clicks in the background allowing for a steady beat.
We hope you find this technology useful.  The IT Department has loaned us an iPad for us to use this app during rehearsals so that we are working with the exact music the pit orchestra is learning.  We'll also utilize it during vocal rehearsals after we've learned all of the parts to hear what the accompaniment sounds like with more than just piano.
