01/18/24 Note from Riley
Hi everyone! Hope you have been enjoying your snow days!
Since we now have one extra week until our performance, on Monday we will still be learning a portion of Work This Out from HSM2. Again, if you haven't listened to it, please do! Also look on the shared google drive folder for more materials. We want this learning process to go as swift as possible so that we can hopefully have time in class to practice your scenes. Since you all are prepared to be off book already, I want you to be able to run the scene without your scripts!! And in order to have maximum rehearsal time you all need to be on top of your game, we don't have time for goofing off and chit chat!
*Please review our Class Schedule post for all the updated details!
HERE are your costume assignments!
If you are wearing a skirt you must have shorts on underneath!
SHOES:
Everyone please wear black (or dark solid color if you don't have black), flat, closed-toed shoes. If you are part of the "female characters" group, you can wear character shoes if you already own them. Please no other kinds of heels.
The goal is to be able to make these costumes out of what you already have in your closets, so if there's anything you don't have talk to me during class! If you're unsure about if something you have is right, bring it (or a picture) to class on Monday and I can let you know.
If you have any questions at all about anything please don't hesitate to reach out! See you all Monday, enjoy the rest of your week!

01/12/24 Note from Riley
Hello everyone!
I hope your week is going well. Just a couple of notes and reminders for this next week of class.
-Class is on Tuesday 1/16 this week not Monday!
-The song I chose is Work This Out from High School Musical 2 so please please listen to it and familiarize yourself with it (if you aren’t already) before class. This will make everything be much quicker and smoother!
-Keep memorizing your lines!
-Don’t forget to:
-project
-cheat out
-stay in character!
So proud of how far you all have come! See you Tuesday!
-Riley
01/04/24 Note from Riley
Hello everyone!
Hope you all had a great winter break! Below is a link to a Secure Class Materials page on the Callboard for all the scripts (incase you lost yours....) along with the lyrics to Pandemonium and the solo assignments. You’ll need a password to access this page, which has been emailed to the email address(es) entered when your account was set up. Please use this to practice before coming back to class on Monday (especially if you missed class on the 11th!) so that you are prepared to review vocals and move into choreography when we come back on the 8th!
We're getting down to our last few weeks of class and unfortunately we don't have all the time in the world, so it is going to be super important that you are practicing at home! Continue to memorize your lines for your scenes so that you feel more and more confident for our performance.
I can't wait to see you all again on Monday! Have a good week :)
