Thank you! Name _______________________________ Classroom Teacher ____________________________ Theater is an intensive experience: If you have never been in a show, the rehearsal process and production week can be very time consuming. When you miss a rehearsal, it impacts the entire cast, not just you. If you are selected to be a lead in this play, it needs to be one of your primary extra-curricular activities for the season. The rehearsal schedule will be dependant on the size or type of each role, but lead characters can expect to attend 1-2 extra rehearsals per week. We will work around a reasonable level of conflicts, but your availability MAY impact the size of the role that you are offered. We will try to utilize school recess times, but will need some outside of school rehearsals for some roles. Please note the best days and time for you to rehearse below. _____ Mondays 3:45-4:45pm _____ Tuesdays 3:45-4:45pm _____ Wednesdays 2:15-3:30pm _____ Thursdays 8:00-9:00 am _____ Thursdays 3:45-4:45pm _____ Saturdays 9:30-11:00am _____ Fridays 8:00-9:00 am _____ Fridays 3:45-4:45pm _____ Sundays 1:00-2:30pm AUDITION INFORMATION My first choice role: ____________________________ Other roles I am interested in: Note: Please be ready to audition for the role you are most interested in by studying the audition script. STUDENT COMMITMENT I am excited to be in this year's musical production! I realize that if I am offered and choose to accept a larger role, solo, or help in the stage crew, I may be required to attend rehearsals during my recess times, before or after school, and/or on weekends. I also understand that my attendance to each rehearsal is important, and that if I have an unexcused absence from a rehearsal, I may be replaced as a lead in the musical. Student Signature _______________________________________________________ Email Address (if you have one ) ________________________________________________________ PARTICIPATION PERMISSION My child has my permission to be a lead in the musical. If selected, I will arrange schedules so that she/he will be at every rehearsal and have transportation to school and home, as necessary. Parent Signature _______________________________________________________ Email Address ________________________________________________________ Phone Number(s) ___________________________________________ ______________________________________________ Remember to turn this sheet into Mrs. Hamp before your audition.

    Oliver! (1968) AUDIENCE 82 liked it Average Rating: 3.4/5 User Ratings: 55,441 Movie Info Inspired by Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist, Lionel Bart's 1961 London and Broadway musical hit glossed over some of Dickens' more graphic passages but managed to retain a strong subtext to what was essentially light entertainment. For its first half-hour or so, Carol Reed's Oscar-winning 1968 film version does a masterful job of telling its story almost exclusively through song and dance. Once nine- year-old orphan Oliver Twist (Mark Lester) falls in with such underworld types as pickpocket Fagin (Ron Moody) and murderous thief Bill Sykes (Oliver Reed), it becomes necessary to inject more and more dialogue, and the film loses some of its momentum. But not to worry; despite such brutal moments as Sikes' murder of Nancy (Shani Wallis), the film gets back on the right musical track, thanks in great part to Theatrical release poster by Howard Terpning (Wikipedia) Onna White's exuberant choreography and the faultless performances by Moody and by Jack Wild as the Artful Dodger. The supporting cast TOMATOMETER includes Harry Secombe as the self-righteous All Critics Mr. Bumble and Joseph O'Conor as Mr. Brownlow, the man who (through a series of typically Dickensian coincidences) rescues Oliver from the streets. Oliver! won six Oscars, 85 including Best Picture, Best Director, and a Average Rating: 7.7/10 Reviews special award to choreographer Onna White. ~ Counted: 26 Fresh: 22 | Rotten: 4 Hal Erickson, Rovi Top Critics G, 2 hr. 33 min. Drama, Kids & Family, Musical & Performing Arts, Classics, Comedy 60 Directed By: Carol Reed Written By: Vernon Harris Average Rating: 6/10 Critic Reviews: 5 Fresh: 3 | Rotten: 2 In Theaters: Dec 11, 1968 Wide On DVD: Aug 11, 1998 It has aged somewhat awkwardly, but the Sony Pictures Home Entertainment performances are inspired, the songs are [www.rottentomatoes.com] memorable, and the film is undeniably influential.

  • Oliver Song Lyrics
    Oliver: Twisted – Lyric Sheets Food, Glorious Food Is it worth the waiting for, if we get to eighty-four? All we ever get is gru-el! Every day we say a prayer, will they change the bill of fare? Still we get the same old gru-el! There’s not a crust, not a crumb can we find Can we beg can we borrow or cadge But there’s nothing to stop us from getting a thrill When we all close our eyes and imagine… Verse 1 Food, glorious food! Hot sausage and mustard While we’re in the mood, cold jelly and custard Pease pudding and saveloys, what next is the question? Rich gentlemen have it Boys – in-di-gestion! Food glorious food! We’re anxious to try it Three Banquets a day, our favourite diet Just picture a great Big steak, fried, roasted or stewed Oh food, wonderful food, marvellous food Glorious food! Verse 2 Food, glorious food! What is there more handsome? Gulped, swallowed or chewed, still worth a King’s ransom What is it we dream about, what Brings on a sigh? Piled peaches and cream about six feet high! Food, glorious food! Eat right through the menu Just loosen your belt two inches, and then you Work up a new appetite in this interlude, then Food, once again, food, fabulous food Glorious food! Repeat Verse 2, with the added ‘coda’ Food Glorious food!...(continue as above until)… Work up a new appetite in this interlude, then Food! Magical food Wonderful food Marvellous food Fabulous food Beautiful food GLO-RI-OUS FOOD! Consider Yourself Chorus 1 Consider yourself at home Consider yourself one of the family We’ve taken to you so strong It’s clear

    General Music 6 Mrs. Tichy Show Student Info Form from Gen Music documents. Why Learn Music Music is a Science It is exact, specific, and it demands exact acoustics. A conductor’s full score is a chart, a graph which indicates: 1. Pitch, 2. Melody 3. Dynamics 4. Harmony 5. Intensity- all at once and with the most exact control of time. Music is Mathematical It is rhythmically based on the subdivisions of time into fractions which must be done instantaneously, not worked out on paper. (4 sixteenth notes played 1 e & a!) Music is a Foreign Language Most of the terms are in Italian, German, and French; and the notation is certainly not English, but a highly developed kinds of shorthand that uses symbols to represent ideas. The language of music is the most complete and UNIVERSAL language because in every country of the world, NOTES are the same! (Music scores) Music is History Music usually reflects the environment and times of its creation, often even the country and/or racial feeling. E.g. Revolutionary or Civil War songs reflect those times. God bless America and God Bless the U.S.A. after 9/11. Music is Physical education It requires fantastic coordination of :fingers, hands, arms, lips, cheek and facial muscles, and TONGUE, in addition to extraordinary control of the diaphragm (breathing muscle), back, stomach, and chest muscles, which respond instantly to the sound the ears hear and the mind interprets. Music is all these things, but most of all…. Music is a FINE ART!! It allows a human being to take all these dry, technical, but boring and difficult techniques and use them to create emotion! That is one thing science cannot duplicate: humanism, feeling, and emotion.
