Homecoming Parade

10/1/2019

WEAR YOUR SHOW SHIRT, and HAWAIIAN GARB.
Bring stuff to decorate my car.
And send music ideas to Mr. Miller!

We are meeting at 8am to decorate my car at spot 13 near the corner of Grandview and Greenleaf. Drop off- is the corner of Old Grand and Grand Ave.

After we march, we will pull off near the OP Campus spend a brief moment de-decorating my car, and then students can be picked up. Note that it gets very busy there, so it may be wise to have a pick-up a little away from the campus.

Let me know if you have any questions.

You must be at the event from the entire time from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM.
You will not need to purchase a full-price ticket for yourself but will need a reduced price performer’s ticket that will cover the cost of your food.The price isn’t set yet, but it will be under $20. Soft drinks will be available for purchase at the cash bar.

Callbacks for A Midsummer Night's Dream

Everyone will read a scene and/or monologue from Midsummer. In addition, I have some special requests for folks in parentheses. If you are not listed for a special request, but feel you want to try, please email me at amiller@wths.net, and I will potentially add you.

Dance - I want to see movement to music (fairies). I'll play a song such as this and will want to see some full body movements (it'll be in small groups). Also... please don't do this.
Sing - I want to hear just a little tune. 30 seconds or so. Could be simple such as "Happy Birthday". This will be a cappella and solo.
Guitar - I want to hear a bit of guitar play. I don't need a shredding guitar solo, but some nice acoustic picking if you can. We can borrow the guitars from band - you do not have to bring your own.

Please FILL OUT THIS FORM in order to audition or be placed on a crew. Also be sure to REGISTER WITH THE SCHOOL.

Audition Notes

Choose a monologue you are comfortable with and feel showcases your abilities. Dramatic, comedic, classic, it matters not. You can choose either a Shakespeare monologue or non-Shakespeare. It will have no bearing on which show you are auditioning for. What matters is you do it well. See the “Resources” page on the website for some suggestions.
Practice your Audition. For the fall shows, we request a 1 minute monologue. We suggest you practice your monologue in front of others that can give you feedback. The more times you can get feedback on a monologue, the better prepared you will be. It does not need to be memorized.
Ask questions. If you have any questions about the show, please ask. Either e-mail at amiller@wths.net or jzimmerman@wths.net
