Young Artists' Spotlight Mason County Concert Association (MCCCA) is extremely pleased to fea- ture young, local talent in its Young Artists' Spotlight at the Shelton High School Auditorium at 7 p.m. Thurs- day, March 3. MCCCA is donating $1,000 to the Shelton High School mu- sic department to be divided equally between the choir and band programs. The concert band and chamber singers will present a wide variety of vocal and instrumental selections. The program includes American, Scot- tish, Welsh and Hebrew folk tunes, world music from Brazil, barbershop and some modern classics for wind bands and chamber choirs. Some of the Shades singers will col- laborate with two all-state choir final- ists in a special vocal quartet. Vanessa Gilbert, Jake Juhl, Zach Leonard and Sabrina McGlothlin won second place in the Regional Solo-Ensemble and will perform a saxophone quartet. Ad- ditionally, the program features stu- dent Christine Johnson directing the woman's vocal ensemble The Embers, in Gershwin's summertime. Premiering in the fall of 2006, chamber singers have become the flagship ensemble of Shelton High School's choir department. The cham- ber singers have been invited to sing for numerous state events in the capi- tol building, OSPI building and gov- ernor's mansion. In addition to their regular school concerts, the chamber singers have performed locally for Kiwanis and Rotary Club functions, Soup and Sound and with the Anna's Bay Chorale. This is their first concert with the Mason County Concert Asso- ciation. The Chamber Singers regu- larly receive ratings of superior and excellent at regional and statewide choral festivals and will be traveling to the Pacific Lutheran University Choir Invitational on Friday, March 4. The Concert Band placed third at the 2009 Harvest Marching Band Festival in Yakima under Ward's direction. It prides itself on being a well-rounded program, receiving'high ratings at concert band and jazz band festivals as well as marching band competitions. The program strives to offer students opportunities in all ar- eas of a band program. Recently, the band has had the pleasure to receive coaching with such esteemed music educators as Jim Rice, Ted Christianson and Jud Ed- sole. The band will also have the op- portunity to perform a piece of music written by Dr. Elaine Ross at their March 10 concert. Dr. Ross will work with the students during the day and conduct her work at the concert that night. Students within the band program recently performed at the regional solo and ensemble contest where all stu- dents received excellent ratings. Two musical groups, soloist Jake Juhl and the SHS Saxophone Quartet, were se- lected as alternates to participate in the State Solo and Ensemble Contest in April. In the fall, three students participated in the Western Interna- tional Band Clinic in Seattle. These students were able to work with col- legiate educators and composers fror around the world." Leading the artists are choir di- rector Paul Nakhla and band direc- tor Chris Ward. Nakhla earned his Master of Music from the University of Washington and Ward earned his degree from Central Washington Uni- versity. Nakhla has been on the music faculty at South Puget Sound Com- munity College and currently teach- es as an adjunct music instructor at Olympic College.

Alice in 0000onderland being cast Hood Canal School stu- dents have an opportunity to participate in Disney's "Alice in Wonderland." We will spend ten weeks after school learning sing- ing, acting, and dance skills, which will culmi- nate in performances for our school, family, friends and community. Auditions are March 7 and 8 from 3 to 4:10 p.m. At auditions, students will sing a small part of selected songs. They may also be asked to learn a short dance or cold read selected sections of text. All students must have parent/guardian permis- sion to audition. As this is a large commitment, it is absolutely necessary that parents/guardians be on board with their child's decision to participate and commit to rehearsal/out of rehearsal homework. Parents will be needed to help with home memori- zation of their child's part. It is also crucial that if students choose to audi- tion that they stick with the rehearsal process. A show is not something that can easily deal with student's quitting/bailing mid-rehearsals. Becoming part of the cast is becom- ing part of a team that de- pends on every part. The performances of the show are on May 20 and 21. If your child will not be available for these dates, please refrain from auditioning. However, perhaps they can help during the rehearsal pro- cess as a stagehand or manager, see music teach- er Jacklyn Kellogg Kellogg is more con- cerned with how you be- Come See Our 1st-Run MOVIES! 24-HOUR MOVIE INFO 426-1000 www.SHELTONCINEMAS.com Comet of 5th & Franklin Rango Dally 4:25, 6:45prn Additional Shows Sat-Sun 2:10pm Frl-,t 8:50pm Dally 4:40, 7:00pro Additional Shows Sat-Sun 2:20pm Frl-Sat 9:10pro [] have than how well you sing, act, Or dance. Is your student dependable? Can we count on them learn- ing a part, showing up, and carrying through with the role given to them? Our rehearsal pro- cess will be work-intense and everyone needs to give their best, prepared to work with no behavior issues. Grade checks will also be important to the casting decision. All cast members must hold the minimum GPA required to participate in extra- curricular activities. The cast list will go up on Thursday, March 10 and rehearsal schedules/ calendars will also be passed out. The announce- ment of the cast can be a difficult time since the role offered may not meet your child's expectations. If your child is upset about the casting decision, em- power your child to talk to Ms. Kellogg one-on-one to discuss the decision and how to enhance future au- ditions. Please trust the audition panel's judgment and know that every role has something extremely important to contribute to the overall show. There are no small parts, only small actors. Our first rehearsal, read/sing through, and passing out of scripts will be held after school Mon- day, March 14. We will rehearse Monday through Thursday from 3 to 4:10 p.m. (in order to catch the activities bus.) Not ev- ery actor will be required at rehearsal each day; it depends on what part of the show is being worked on. A rehearsal calendar detailing who is needed and when will be passed out at the beginning of re- hearsals. Please be avid about checking this with your student so that they are available and present when needed at rehears- als. Closer to the show dates, most of the cast will be expected at rehearsal for the entire week to run the whole show Monday through Thursday. If your child is cast in "Alice and Wonderland" we will be having a parent meeting at 6 p.m. on Tues- day, March 15 to go over expectations, costuming, show dates and other in- formation. Please make yourself available for this, as it will provide impor- tant information and al- low me to meet you and get to know you better. With any school pro- duction, any volunteer help that you can provide is greatly appreciated. With your help, this show can be truly fantastic. If you have experience in stage production, or know of others that would like to contribute, please con- tact us. If you have any ques- tions, comments, or con- cerns, please feel free to contact Jacklyn Kellogg, music teacher 877-5463 ext. 226.
