💐Congratulations to the ☂️Cast and Crew of "Mary Poppins" Jr☂️ for SIX BRILLIANT PERFORMANCES! You "reached for the heavens" with your exquisite singing, inspiring acting, and electrifying dancing! We certainly had the "Stars thrown in!" They were onstage, backstage, and on stage right! The Light, Sound, and Stage Crews were actually perfect in every way! The Parent Volunteers' decorations, concessions, and supervision added so much style to our shows!

Thank you for your incomparable dedication! I miss seeing you at rehearsals!!!

Monday: Stage Dance Choreography and Costume Club as well as Spring Play Interest Meeting

☘️To all who celebrate: Happy St.Patrick's Day! Enjoy the weekend! - Mrs. Broeker

So exciting to meet my new classes! The Guitar class is learning how to play G, D, em, and A7 chords this week. They are easily transitioning from chord to chord. Both 7th and 8th grade Vocal Power classes are filled with wonderful singers who are performing their first song this week!! The new Music 6 class is filled with the sounds of rhythmic body percussion as the class explores and extends their understanding of notation, meter, and tempo.

There is still time to get Drama 1 and Choir in your schedules for next year!! If you are making a change and adding it in you simply need to email you counselor and cc Dr. Keith (tkeith@maine207.org).
