Southside Pacific - Theatre of Gadsden

3/23/2017

0 Comments

 
​I am on the Board of Directors of Theatre of Gadsden and currently working on the production of South Pacific. The theatre recently used Key Club members from Glencoe High School to usher at a production, and we would like to expand that program. I would like to particularly target arts students who might be interested in ushering for us. We normally have 6 performances over two weekends, but they would not need to help with all of them.

If you think some of your students might be interested, please let me know, and ask them to come to our first training meeting on March 25 at 2:00 at The Ritz in Alabama City (310 27th St.). 

As a side note, we will have a full orchestra for South Pacific conducted by Dr. Jeremy Benson from JSU. Your students might enjoy hearing their performance. The dates are March 31, April 1, 2, and April 7-9. Go to theatreofgadsden.org for more information.

Thank you,
Paula

Solo and Ensemble 2017
 
Good morning students and parents!
 
Firstly, thank you to all parents who attended the booster meeting last night. We have officially begun the order for our new uniforms! How exciting!
 
As in the past, we will again be hosting District II Solo and Ensemble here at Southside High School. The date for Solo and Ensemble is Monday, April 17th from 4-7 PM!
 
This week we will be finding pieces for students who wish to play a solo or be in an ensemble. We encourage all students to participate!
 
The price for each event is as follows:
 
Solo: $6
Duet (2 players): $3 per person
Trio+ (Ensemble of 3 players or more): $2 per person
 
Money for each event will be due on Friday, April 8th.
 
Students, please be thinking about what ensembles you would like to take part in! Each student can sign up for up to four separate events, with only 1 event being a solo.
 
Mr. Weaver and Ms. Palmer will be helping students with their selections during class leading up to April 17th to ensure each student has the proper preparation!
 
Have a wonderful day!
 
Mr. Weaver
Ms. Palmer
