1-22-16 A Whole New World!

Post date: Jan 23, 2016 12:7:52 AM

Good afternoon Aladdin families!

In case you haven’t heard, our Arabian adventure is packed with 90 members in the cast! This will be the largest Spring Musical West Hills has ever seen. Yes, a whole new world indeed! Rehearsals are rolling along for all grade levels during elective classes and during lunch recesses. I’m so delighted every time they open their mouths to sing. This is going to be quite an adventure! Today I have a few general reminders, then separate specifics for our 7/8 families and 5/6 families.

We are still working out the who-what-why-when-wheres of this production. I do anticipate knowing who will play the leads very soon. All other parts, one-liners, short solo lines, little extras, prop handling, special scenes, features, etc, will unfold over the next few weeks. Please encourage your young budding performers that we are ONE CAST, ALL IN, FOR HIM! I would appreciate your prayers for clarity, direction and wisdom, particularly now. Thank you so much.

There will be ample opportunities for parent help and participation. Information regarding costumes, sets, props, party, etc will come as soon as possible. Much has been in the works for quite awhile. Your patience and prayers in this regard are also appreciated.

The WHCS Music Website MUSICAL PAGE ( HERE ) contains all the dates, info and ongoing news for our production. Please subscribe to the Spring Musical UPDATES asap!

7th & 8th grade families- (5/6 SEE BELOW)

*Please remember that the after school rehearsals March 15, April 12-19-21, are MANDATORY. However, your Jr Higher is totally welcome to attend our Jan 26 & Feb 23, 3-4:00 rehearsals if desired.

*Please encourage your student performer to stay current on assignments. I will spare you my speech. This is, and will continue to be a BIG issue, now and as they move into high school.

*Every 7/8 grader has a huge load of music to learn. They have cds. Google Docs have been shared. Printed lyric sheets have been given out. Just a question or reminder from mom might spur on some extra practice. Our goal is excellence before the Lord in all we do!

5th & 6th grade families-

*Next Tuesday, January 26th, 3:05-4:00pm is our first monthly after school rehearsal. This hour is crucial to our momentum & development. Students will be dismissed to our carpool-style pickup at the red doors outside of the gym. Please remind your students not to walk across the parking lot.

*Because of legal limitations, the 5/6 cds contain only some of the music your students will ultimately be performing. Lyric sheets will be begin to come home next week. I’d appreciate any homefront encouragement you can give your child in “doing the work”. Excellence as unto the Lord continues to be our goal.

That’s all I have for now, friends. Have a wonderful weekend!

For Him who holds the future~
