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.......
