Oh Happy Tuesday,
This is the last day of the year for us! Wow-
As we missed yesterday's practice with the ensemble at tutorial, I just want to remind all, not just ensemble, that you should be learning the songs over the break. Please put some time in doing so to make up some lost practice time.
NO PRACTICE AFTER SCHOOL TODAY. Happy Holidays to All.
Have a very safe and merry vacation.

Happy Friday to all,
What a wonderful turnout yesterday. Thank you for getting there and doing such a fantastic job learning the opening song. I was totally blown away with the talent you folks have. Keep on practicing those songs this weekend.
There is no practice after school today, but continue to practice your songs and parts on your own. Practice will be on MONDAY during TUTORIAL for ensemble - knights, ladies and princesses. Please make this IF you can. The more that come, the better, but this is not a mandatory practice. You must eat the first period and then report to the auditorium directly afterwards. I have your music and you have the talent.
Again, thank you for doing such a great job with effort and behavior so far. You are a fun group to be around.

Good Friday Morning,
As you know I am not in school today. I hope that your day is a good one. First of all, it is cuppie cake Friday, so sing extra loud for me while you enjoy your treat. Secondly, three classes are mostly done with both of the parts of the tests. If indeed you are, then your task today is to start tabbing and charting tabs. You should be able to knock off at least 5 bracelets each.
If you did not get both parts of your test done, that is your task. All of period 1 must take the second part as we went to the chorus concert yesterday. Do your best work and remember calculators and notes are ok to use. Make sure to use a separate paper for your work, answer on the answer column, select a bonus question of your choice, comment on the test, staple the work to the test and pass it in.
A big shout out goes to Mrs. Plaisted for calling in those cupcakes. Thank you so much.
I hope that everybody was able to remember to bring in something for the stocking we are trying to fill. It would make a young lady's Christmas a lot brighter.
Homework: None for the rest of the year.
Make this a great day,
Mrs.Charle McAtee

Good Wednesday Morning,
Wow, thank you for coming to the meeting. It was great to see you once again. It was a great turnout for our first practice yesterday despite the flurry of student activities that were held yesterday. SO thank you once again, as your continued participation will make the musical great this year.
Welcome Aboard to Molly Stewart. She is going to be the choreographer for the musical and will be a great addition to the team.
I do want to clear up a few questions that came up yesterday.
1. If you are in the ensemble, you are either a knight, lady in waiting or a princess.
2. Full cast means EVERYBODY in the musical.
3. The practice during tutorial on Monday for the ensemble is for those who CAN make it. There is also a practice on Thursdays for ensemble. I want you to be able to commit to at least one of those every week in the early stages. It is excellent if you attended both every week. This will change and I will be expecting you to attend more after school practices as March approaches.
4. Snacks and drinks need to be eaten outside the auditorium.
5. Practices start at 2:30 promptly.
There is a FULL CAST practice tomorrow, Thursday, December 18. We will start with learning the songs of the opening scenes.

Good Tuesday Morning,
As a famous line once stated: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. That what is was like choosing the lead roles in the musical. First of all, every single student who tried out is a winner. It took courage and effort to even go this far. So congratulations to all of the students who did indeed go for it all. I wish there was a starring role for each of you on stage as well as you are all champs. But as you all know, only a few will get the lead roles. So take heart as you read the results of the auditions from yesterday and last Thursday. It was a real tough choice getting down to this point, but we believe that we were able to pull together a dynamite cast. This year's Gorham Middle School Musical, Once Upon A Mattress, will be a show stopper. So Drum Roll Please.......

Happy Monday to all,
Today is the first day of December and we are so close to the first auditions this Thursday. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR PERMISSION SLIPS IN BEFORE you stay for these auditions on Thursday or Monday! So get these into me asap.
Auditions for speaking parts are this Thursday, December 4, after school or Monday, December 8. You are expected to have a song to sing and have your lines memorized for this audition.
We have some breaking news: There will be practice times open to the ensemble on Mondays during the school day. All members are expected to eat at the first lunch and then report to the auditorium for a practice. This will help out with less practices after school on Thursdays for those who have conflicts with other commitments. This practice will start in January.
So, get those permission slips in asap.
