Happy holidays!

A great big THANK YOU!! goes out to our cast for an amazing first two rehearsals! You all really impressed not only our new team members, Ms. Sunnergren and Mrs. A, but you impressed Mrs. Taylor and Ms. Neville, too!

A few notes before you rush off to open presents and eat lots of yummy food with friends and family (oh, AND get some rest and stay bundled up and don't get sick!):

The rehearsal schedule is available for download at two different places: through ge.tt and through mediafire (both are file-sharing sites -- click through the links and click on the "2011-2012 GV Musical Schedule" to download the schedule). If you have trouble with both of them and still cannot download the schedule, please drop us an email and we will email it to you.

Rehearsal tracks are also available for download at either the ge.tt page or the mediafire page. Again, if neither site works for you for some reason, email us.

Principal characters and understudies: start memorizing your music and dialogue! We are jumping right in to blocking and vocal rehearsals and need for you to be on your A game! Thanks :)

Storytellers: do your best to be familiar with all of the storyteller songs and dialogue. You do not need to memorize it all, but we want rehearsals to run smoothly, and if we can just throw lines or song pieces at you and you already know them, that'd be awesome! We know you can rise to the challenge :)

Featured villagers: do your best to be familiar with the songs "Pray" and "Pray (Reprise)," as they are YOUR songs :) We will not get to them right away, but we want you all to be prepared for when we start singing and blocking those songs. The first "Pray" is available for download. The reprise has the same tune and the lyrics are in your scripts.

Ensemble: start listening to the songs that are available for download (links are above!), and get into the island groove!

Keep yourselves healthy, have a great holiday

and a happy new year and see you after school on January 3rd!!
