A Two Night Success!!

Great job, Porters Point School students!  Our performances of "Squirm!" by John Jacobson and John Higgins last week were superb.  The two below videos are about the preparations (and are not the actual performances).

Half our school performed Wednesday:

 

And the other half of our school performed Thursday:

Our Musical Is Next Week!!

Students have been working very hard to learn the songs and prepare for our performances next week of "Too Much Noise!"  Below is the last Parent Letter with the details you probably want to know before coming to Colchester High School...

Final Parent Letter

Looking forward to seeing everyone next week!

Musical Preparation Time

January is the month we will begin preparing for our whole school musical.  This year we will perform "Too Much Noise - an Eastern European Folktale", by Brian Hiller and Don Dupont.  The details are included in the first parent letter (see link below) that will be e-mailed or sent home today (Wednesday, January 14, 2015).  Please let Ms. Mutz know if you have any questions!!!  Stay tuned for more details...

Parent Letter #1 - Too Much Noise!

We're Famous! Thanks, to The Colchester Sun

Over vacation last week, a photographer from The Colchester Sun contacted Ms. Mutz with pictures he took from the Thursday, Feb. 21st performance of "Go Fish".  He said they would appear in Thursday's edition, and sure enough, the pictures were there!  Front page and back page -- and in full color:

Concert Success!!

All students performed "Go Fish" last week either on Weds., Feb. 20 or Thurs., Feb. 21, 2013.  Both nights were a huge success!   Ms. Mutz will be posting more video clips later to show some of the actual performances.  For now, check out this Animoto video of the face painting that went on before the shows started each night!  Both nights are represented in this video.

Commercial for Go Fish!!!

We are getting closer to our performance dates of February 20 and 21, 2013!!  Below you will see a commercial to advertise our upcoming performances.  All classes have practiced the songs during music class, although we did lose valuable rehearsal time because of the snow day last week.  We'll catch up today.  However, since the speaking parts were practiced after school, students are coming along quite nicely in getting the "big picture".  During those after-school rehearsals, 23 students stayed in the Music Room and we rehearsed when to speak, where to stand, how to speak into a microphone, "can we hear you???" and more.  Oh, and the video you are about to see was actually filmed BY STUDENTS using an iPad!!!!  That gave Ms. Mutz a chance to see what students see, and it gave students a chance to really focus on what was going on with the scenes.  Students are very excited about the performances!  Enjoy this YouTube!
