Regionals!
Bravo (!) to all who went to Regionals this past Saturday. I know that it was a long day that started with a bridge out and ended with an extra hours wait for results, but each of you was positivly suburb. I can’t tell you how easy it is for me to brag about “my” team to my friends because you guys do such a great job! Your presentations and actions reflect those of true competitors. Special recognition goes to the following:
Angel Villarreal: Alternate to States (6th overall) in Dramatic Interpretation
Chris Slattery and Alisha Green: Alternate (6th overall) in Duo
Chris Chamberlain: 5th (progressing to State Competition) in Impromptu speaking
Daniel Thompson: Alternate (6th overall) in Children’s Storytelling
States: State Competition will be held Friday May 4th (during school) and Saturday May 5th at Central Michigan University. Contestants participate all day both days, all though there is down time due to staggard/module scheduling. Anyone on our team is welcome to come and support or watch State Competition, although non-competitors will not be dismissed from school. I also highly suggest carpooling.
Practice schedule: Those of you who are going OR ARE ALTERNATES to States, I would like you to keep practicing. Registration is due the 30th, and even then, things happen (unfortunatly). You never know what may cause you to progress to States and the worst thing that could happen is for you to be unprepared to go. I am also aware that Drama Club has there big production this weekend so don’t overdue yourselfs, but keep everything fresh in your heads.
Speaking of Drama Club…..
It looks like we are going to be paring up with Drama Club for Dessert Theatre on MAY 30th (an evening event). If you would like to preform you are more than welcome to, regardless of how many times you competed in the season or how you fared. ALSO you do not have to be a drama person to participate! Broadcasters etc, I would love to show off your talents so that people get a taste of how hard it is to prep and speak with a time limit. This event is FOR ALL. That also means that you need to stay “un-rusty” with your piece/skills. It is also at that time that I will award letters and pins. I will notify you if you are eligible for either. If you would like to perform, just let me know. That being said: more details coming soon.
The next few weeks for me are going to be a little crazy for with finals, so I may not be at practice. BUT Mrs Kendall and Jeni will be so there are NO EXCUSES for coming. I expect you to take their advice seriously as both most definitly know what they are talking about.
Again, all of you made me very proud this saturday (we definitly had the cleanest table in the cafetaria 
)
