If you've been asked to sing a song at callbacks, here is the music so you can practice.
Callback Music Thank you to all those who auditioned! Everyone who auditioned is going to be in the musical. We were completely blown away by the amazing performances all of you gave- truly. Even making this list was difficult. If your name is not on this list, please know we still have roles that we’re not calling back for and ways to be featured in the musical.
If your name is listed below, you have either already picked up the materials from Ms. Emily or she will email them to you. Please prepare the materials provided over the weekend. Music for the Callbacks will be posted later today.

It's essentially the permission slip. We can't place a student on the cast list without these 3 papers completed and turned in. Please bring them to Dance Auditions on September 30th. Ms. Dallimore has copies of the contract audition packet by her theatre room (Rm 110).
Contract Audition Packet The sign up for auditions has been posted outside of Ms. Dallimore's theatre room (110). If you want to audition for a speaking role, please sign up for a time. We'll add more time slots if all the current slots are filled. Look below for full audition information.
Dates
Mandatory dance auditions will be September 30th from 3-6pm and are for everyone who wants to be in the musical (speaking roles & ensemble). Those who want to be in the ensemble will sing in groups at the Dance Auditions (Ensemble song). At the dance audition you will learn a dance combo and then after time to practice, you'll be asked to perform it in a group. Those interested in only being in the ensemble will go home earlier than 6pm. Auditions for speaking roles will be October 2nd and 3rd from 3-5pm. We will post a signup sheet by Ms. Dallimore's room (110) where you will sign up for a time slot. Choose 1 character to audition with (your first choice). Callbacks will be October 7th & 8th from 3-5pm. Remember, not all roles will be called back for. Audition Materials We have prepared audition scenes and a song for you to perform at auditions. Please be memorized as best as you can. The MP3 of the song can be found in the character folders. On the MP3, we have provided the guide vocals to help you learn the song and then immediately following is the same music without the guide vocals. At the audition we will only play the music without the guide vocals so be sure you are practicing with the MP3. Choose a character that is your first choice and prepare the audition materials for that character. If you are struggling with any of the audition materials for a character, try out a different one. Find the one that fits you the best. Please use the link below to access the character folders: Audition Songs and Scenes Audition Preparation Tips:
As many of you have already seen in Ms. Basso's weekly update, we have decided to move up our audition dates to October instead of November. There are lots of days off from November-March and the music is more complex than last year. We are currently working on the rehearsal calendar and will get that posted before auditions.
All who want to be in the musical (Ensemble or Speaking Part) need to attend the Dance Auditions on Monday, September 30th. Speaking part auditions will be October 2 & 3 after school. There will be a sign-up sheet to sign up for a specific time slot. Callbacks will be broken up into two days, October 7th and 8th, with the cast list being posted on October 9th. Audition materials and explanation of how to audition will be posted this week. This year's school musical is The Drowsy Chaperone JR! Auditions will be in November and performances are March 5th-8th. Audition materials and more info about auditions will be posted at a later date.
The Drowsy Chaperone JR is a farce meaning it is a dramatic comedy of ridiculous characters and situations. The roles in this musical are an actor's dream because there really isn't a limit to how big and ridiculous you perform your role. We've thought long and hard about what would be the best fit for our students this year. This is the musical we feel our students will excel, learn and grow the best with. And truly, we can't wait to see what our students will do with this theatre piece. Top Questions/Concerns: 1. Is The Drowsy Chaperone JR appropriate material for students to perform?
We have one last big project and that is striking the show. We are getting together tomorrow (Thurs.) after school to clean and take apart some of the set so we can have the stage cleaned for the upcoming concerts. If anybody can come help tomorrow, we would really appreciate it. We will be cleaning props and costumes after school and then parents are coming around 5pm to take the bridge apart.
The QR code should be updated tomorrow so there will be more pictures of the gold cast. If you need another program to scan the QR code, Ms. Dallimore has several and students can stop by and get one. Students were also given a memory program today with the cast pictures that were taken a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for the director's gifts today! It was so kind and generous and we loved them! Another BIG thank you to everyone who made this show possible. We couldn't have done this show without our incredible parent volunteers!!! Thank you again!!! WJH Musical Team Please remember the Cast Party is this Wednesday March 13th from 3-4pm. Please wear your Wonka shirts on Wednesday!!! We will have pizza and a fun treat bag to take home. We will also have a dance party and karaoke! See you there!!!
