Thank you to all who supported our Chipotle Fundraiser and to Heather Young for organizing the event!

We raised $231.84!!!

As promised, Show Choir will now meet on Tuesdays, and 7/8 Singers on Thursday.

There will be no Actors' Studio this week since there will be no activity bus.

Our 7/8 Singers and Show Choir have been invited to perform at two local choral events on Saturday, December 7 at the Toys for Tots at the Park Ridge City Hall and on Saturday, December 14, the "Park Ridge Stroll" at 4:00 PM at the Park Ridge Community Church. The Show Choir has also been invited to perform at the Maine South High School Hawkette Holiday Program on December 8!

Please save the dates!

Have a wonderful weekend!

All students who audition for the musical are cast!

Sign-Ups for auditions and the crews will be in the October newsletters.

Musical 2025 will be our 18th Musical!

All High School Musical related information is posted on Mrs. Broeker's Website

Can Sixth and Seventh Graders get Leads?

Absolutely, if their audition is better than the Eighth Graders.

Do I have to audition in front of people?

Yes, you will be performing in front of people.

What if I am not happy with my audition, can I schedule another audition?

No, there isn't time for people to schedule multiple auditions.

What if two students have equally great auditions. How do you choose?

1. EIghth grade always gets priority if everything else is equal.

2. Participation in 7/8 Singers, and Show Choir counts in your favor.
