Due to plumbing problems at the school, the freezing cold, and a number of people out sick (including me), we are cancelling ALL of today&#39;s rehearsals for Bye, Bye, Birdie. &amp;nbsp;I will be changing next week&#39;s schedule to accommodate the change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that I am having problems with my Remind account, so please help spread the word!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

I know it&#39;s later than I planned -- my surgery took more out of me than I thought it would -- but casting results for &quot;Bye, Bye, Birdie&quot; are up. Click on the tab above to see in what part(s) you have been cast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am still working on the Rehearsal Schedule and will post that by Tuesday, January 5. If you are participating in the musical and have additional conflicts, please get those to me ASAP so I can make any necessary adjustments. If you already gave me your conflicts, those are already considered excused absences. Please let me know of any new conflicts as soon as you know about them!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Our first meeting is THIS THURSDAY, January 7, 2016, right after school from 3 pm to 4:30 pm. &lt;/b&gt;All cast members must be present! We will go over contracts and the rehearsal schedule and you will need to sign up to be on one of our committees for the show: Set (note that every cast member is expected to spend a minimum of 10 hours working on the set), Properties, Make-Up, Costumes, and Publicity. You will also receive a copy of the script with music. Musical and blocking (staging) rehearsals begin Monday, January 11.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Students who are interested in playing in the orchestra should contact Mr. Condo, who will be conducting. We need the following instruments:&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #4d4d4d; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;3 Violins,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;2 Cellos,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;1 Bass,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;Alto Saxophone, Clarinet, Flute &amp;amp; Piccolo,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;Bass Clarinet, Baritone Saxophone,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;Horn, 3&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;Trumpets, 2 Trombones, 2 Percussion players, Guitar, and Electric Bass. Jill Drewyor will be our performance accompanist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #4d4d4d; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;We have a great cast, and this is going to be such a fun show! Thanks to everyone who auditioned, and I am looking forward to getting started on the production.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Tickets for this fall&#39;s Ye Olde Madrigal Feaste go on sale today! &amp;nbsp;The Box Office opens at 5:30 pm, seating begins at 6:00 pm, and the show and dinner begin at 6:30 pm. This is a reserved seating event, and patrons will be assigned seats according to the order reservations and payment are received.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As part of the evening, you will be transported back in time to 1492 and the magical days of the Renaissance. The Unioto High School Auditeria will be turned into a fantastically appointed Great Hall in the Castle of Ye Imagination! “Sherman Hall” will be decorated as befits this festive season, while the comely damsels and sturdy lads of the Unioto Middle School and High School Choirs create a popular re-enactment of the Renaissance tradition with food, music and live entertainment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After dinner, the Jester will enlist the aid of His Majesty’s Dubious Thespians to perform a play of the King’s choosing: The Emperor’s New Clothes. (What else?) We all know how that old play goes, but this is really not “that old play.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An Emperor rises up from midst the audience to take his place in history because he “looks just great in a crown,” the famous French Jester, Monsieur Pierrot, and others join the theatre of the ridiculous with the entry of two rogues (suspiciously dressed like pirates) who are employed to create the Emperor’s fabulous new threads. You may think that you know how it turns out, but don’t&lt;br /&gt;
be too sure. . .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don’t miss this fun, festive event for ye whole family! You can join us as a guest or as a corporate or family sponsor. You are also encouraged to advertise in our program. Come in 21st century attire or dress in Renaissance or pirate costume, as ye like. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for seniors, students and children. (If a child requires a seat and is eating from the menu, you must purchase a ticket for that child.) &amp;nbsp;Tables seat 8 people and can be purchased via single ticket or as an event sponsor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tickets a little pricey for you to bring the whole family? Volunteer to work one night and you will receive a free ticket for the other night. We need kitchen workers, backstage supervisors, a floor manager and box office personnel -- just fill out the Volunteer Form and get it back to Ms. Snyder as soon as possible. Only adults can volunteer to work behind the scenes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ticket order forms, sponsorship forms, advertising forms and volunteer forms can be downloaded under &quot;Important Documents and Links&quot; on the left side of the home page. You can also buy tickets online via credit card at &lt;a href=&quot;http://unioto.seatyourself.biz/&quot;&gt;unioto.seatyourself.biz&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

Next Friday, October 9, is the High School Tanks Homecoming Game against Westfall. As is our annual tradition, the Unioto Choirs and Choral Alumni -- as well as invited 4th, 5th, and 6th graders -- will be singing the National Anthem and Unioto Alma Mater with the band at the start of the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Students are to report to the Middle School side of the Auditeria at 6:30 pm for warm-ups and to determine where everyone will stand. &amp;nbsp;We will then march behind the Unioto Marching Band over to the field and wait on the sidelines until we sing. After performing, students are released to go home or can stay for the game, but Ms. Snyder will not provide supervision once the performance is over and students are off the track.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Participating students get into the game for no charge; parents, siblings and friends must pay for entrance to the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Choral students should wear purple and gold spirit wear to the game, and dress in layers -- it may get cold!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A fact sheet with all of this information and a parental acknowledgement form (due this Friday, October 2) can be found under &quot;Important Documents and Links&quot; at the left of this page.&lt;/div&gt;

Welcome back, students, and Happy New Year! Just a few items of note:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Rehearsals for &quot;Alice@Wonderland&quot; begin this week with a mandatory all-cast meeting on Monday 1/5/15 from 3-4:30 pm, musical rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday, and our first staging rehearsal on Saturday. &amp;nbsp;I will not be handing out printed schedules to students to save paper (and the planet). You can view the rehearsal calendar online -- links can be found to the left on this site and from our facebook group. Students are responsible for checking the schedule each week to see when they are called. &amp;nbsp;I will post a print-out of each week&#39;s schedule in both the Middle School Music Room and the High School Choir Room for easy reference.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Show Choir will be selling pizza and soda after school in the High School Commons on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning the second week of January (1/13/14). Proceeds will go towards the Chicago trip, and the sale is open to both Middle School and High School students who are staying after school for sports, clubs, etc. &amp;nbsp;Much better than eating from the vending machines!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We are also having a fundraiser with Century Resources on January 20. &amp;nbsp;Both the Band and Choir will be selling pizza kits and other goodies. &amp;nbsp;Money raised by Choral Students will go towards the Chicago trip in June.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Our next performance is the Unioto Pops Concert on February 19, 2015. &amp;nbsp;All Choirs have a mandatory rehearsal the day before (Wednesday, February 18) from 3-5:30 pm. &amp;nbsp;Show Choir and Pure Gold also have a mandatory rehearsal on Tuesday, February 17 from 3-5 pm.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Thanks!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Ms. Snyder&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Congratulations and kudos to all who auditioned for the spring musical, Alice@Wonderland. &amp;nbsp;The cast list is listed under the Alice tab above. &amp;nbsp;As usual, the students made casting difficult because they did so well in the auditions. As always, casting is based on seniority, who auditioned for what parts, and singing/acting ability. &amp;nbsp;The show is going to be fabulous and fun and I can&#39;t wait to get started!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;Students can pick up scripts and scores on Friday, December 19, from Ms. Snyder in the Choir Room between the hours of 8 am and 10 am. If you can&#39;t make that, you can text Ms. Snyder or contact her via facebook to arrange to pick it up from her during winter bread, or just wait until the first rehearsal on Monday, January 5, 2015 from 4-6 pm in the High School Choir Room. The full rehearsal calendar is being updated over the next few days to reflect student availability, but can be found at &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;on &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:go3l4mvn6pumeficdsnig3o37s@group.calendar.google.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;google calendar&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and will be updated weekly throughout the rehearsal period.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Our spring musical this year is &quot;Alice@Wonderland,&quot; based on Lewis Carroll&#39;s much-loved stories. &amp;nbsp;The updated story features a texting, tweeting, rapping Alice who falls down the rabbit hole to meet the Wonderland characters we know and love: &amp;nbsp;the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, March Hare, Dormouse, Caterpillar, Tweedledee and Tweedledum and more! &amp;nbsp;This show has great music in the styles of rap, hip hop, soul, rock, musical theatre and bluegrass, and we are going to have so much fun with this show. &amp;nbsp;The performance dates are Saturday and Sunday, March 27 and 28, 2015, and Sunday, March 29 at 3 pm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_fC3OHU8zX1S3JER0JLamtmMnc/view?usp=sharing&quot;&gt;Download audition and casting information here!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a High School production, but Middle School students are encouraged to audition and sing in the chorus. Leads will be filled by High School students, but there are so many parts, Middle School students have a good opportunity to be cast, too. If you are already a choral student and want to be in the chorus, you don&#39;t have to audition -- just let Ms. Snyder know.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A number of great parts are available for singers and actors -- including several parts that require no solo singing. Auditions are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;SINGING AUDITIONS:&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Monday, December 15 from 4 pm to 6 pm. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;You must sing a specific song from the show. See the &lt;a href=&quot;https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_fC3OHU8zX1S3JER0JLamtmMnc/view?usp=sharing&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;audition information packette&lt;/a&gt; for more information. Sign up for a 5-minute time slot on the High School Choir Room door beginning December 1, 2014.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;ACTING AUDITIONS: &lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Tuesday, December 16 from 3 pm to 5 pm.&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;You must stay the whole time and read from the script with other students. &amp;nbsp;You can check out a script from Ms. Snyder; scripts must be turned back in to Ms. Snyder at the auditions on December 16. Students who do not return scripts will be charged $10 to replace it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rehearsals will be scheduled based on students&#39; availability. &amp;nbsp;Note that the rehearsal schedule for this show is very intense -- you can view a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=go3l4mvn6pumeficdsnig3o37s%40group.calendar.google.com&amp;amp;ctz=America/New_York&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;sample schedule here&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Changes will be made based on the cast&#39;s availability prior to the start of rehearsals on January 5, 2015. Note that with the exception of Alice, students will not have to be at every rehearsal most weeks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want help learning your music, you may want to attend one of the &lt;b&gt;AUDITION WORKSHOPS&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;on Monday, December 1 from 3-5 pm or Tuesday, December 2 from 5-7 pm&lt;/b&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Ms. Snyder will teach you the audition songs and talk about what she is looking for in the auditions. You do not have to attend a workshop to audition -- workshop attendance is optional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Students who would like to have a practice CD of the music need to bring $1 to Ms. Snyder to cover the cost. &amp;nbsp;CDs will be available starting December 1. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have questions, please email Ms. Snyder at tsnyder@unioto.net or via facebook.&lt;br /&gt;

Next Friday, October 10, the Middle and High School Choirs will be singing with the band at homecoming. &amp;nbsp;Here&#39;s the scoop:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We will be singing &quot;The Star Spangled Banner&quot; (in unison) and Unioto&#39;s Alma Mater (3 parts).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I will be out of town at a wedding that day, so Mrs. Janet McMahon will be conducting.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Students must meet in the Junior High Cafeteria at 6 pm sharp. They should first sign in and then have a seat.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Shortly after 6 pm, Show Choir students will have all students line up from tallest to shortest and then form 3-4 lines for performance.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mrs. McMahon will warm up the voices and then go through the music with the group.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;At about 6:40 pm, the group will file IN ORDER outside and line up behind the marching band and wait to go to the stadium.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Students are expected to be quiet and respectful during the march to the stadium. NO TALKING!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Once in the stadium, students will stay in line and stand on the home side of the track against the fence until time to sing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;After the homecoming queen is announced, you will see Mr. Condo start to get in place for the national anthem. &amp;nbsp;At that time, the choirs will file over in front of the bleachers next to the 50 yard line (at Mr. Condo&#39;s back) and get ready to sing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mrs. McMahon will follow Mr. Condo&#39;s cues as the choir sings.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Once students are finished, they will file off the field/track in an orderly fashion. Students may stay for the game or leave at that time.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
A few more things:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Students need to sign in upon arriving at the Cafeteria or they may not get credit for singing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This is a MANDATORY performance for choral students.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Choral students get into the game for free; however, friends and family of choral students must pay the entrance fee to the game; NO EXCEPTIONS. Students who are reported to have tried to &quot;sneak in&quot; friends or family will be reprimanded (detention and points off his/her grade).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
If students need to practice, here are the listening/practice tracks:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Congratulations to our some 82 students who participated in this year&#39;s Ye Olde Madrigal Feaste.&amp;nbsp; It was a great show, and thanks to everyone for their hard work!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thursday and Friday, December 12 and 13 is our 3rd Annual Cookie Bazaar. Students have already divided into teams and are working on their themes and getting ready to bake it away!&amp;nbsp;The Bazaar will take place in the High School Auditeria, and we will be open after school both days from 3 to 7 pm as well as selling at the High School and Middle School during all three lunch periods on Friday, December 13.&amp;nbsp;All proceeds will go to UMA&amp;nbsp;Scholarships for this year&#39;s Seniors.&amp;nbsp;So please come support the Choirs and get all of your holiday &quot;baking&quot; done in one afternoon (we won&#39;t tell).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next on the performance agenda is our &lt;strong&gt;Unioto Pops Concert&lt;/strong&gt; on Thursday, January 30, 2014 at 7 pm.&amp;nbsp; We will be saluting the Women of Rock and Pop as we present some great tunes from ladies of the past and present.&amp;nbsp;We will also be featuring some of our outstanding student soloists -- so don&#39;t miss it!&lt;/div&gt;

This year&#39;s Madrigal Feaste will be as funny as ever, with the Jester falling in love (again) and all of the eligible (and some ineligible) bachelors in the kingdom searching for their own true loves.&lt;br /&gt;

The Friday show is almost sold out, but I am happy to announce that there are many seats still available on Thursday evening.&amp;nbsp; Tickets are $12 for adults and&amp;nbsp;$10 for seniors, students and children.&amp;nbsp; As always, the evening will include a delicious meal, a play and live music.&amp;nbsp; With 82 students from grades 6 through 12 and a few alumni, we have a very large and entertaining cast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reservations are required to attend, so&lt;a href=&quot;https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_fC3OHU8zX1blFsZ3ZEdy0wRTg/edit?usp=sharing&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; click here to download the ticket form&lt;/a&gt; and send it with payment to the Unioto High School Choral Office as soon as possible.&amp;nbsp; Hope to see you there!&lt;br /&gt;

I am so happy to see those (mostly) smiling faces again! &amp;nbsp;And we have quite a few new faces this year in choir -- welcome!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have an exciting year planned, with the Madrigal Feaste this fall, singing at Homecoming, the Pops Concert in January, the musical in March, another concert in April, and Kings Island and graduation in May. &amp;nbsp;And don&#39;t forget Veteran&#39;s Day in November and Honors Choir. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few things as we get started:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This year&#39;s &lt;b&gt;Madrigal Feaste&lt;/b&gt; is &quot;Fools Fall in Love&quot; and we are doing one performance only on Friday, November 22 starting at 6 pm. &amp;nbsp;This is another hilarious show. &amp;nbsp;You can read a synopsis of the play at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.madrigaldinner.com/scripts/1493-fools-fall-in-love/&quot;&gt;http://www.madrigaldinner.com/scripts/1493-fools-fall-in-love/&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Be sure to also watch the super-funny clip from the show at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;v=yML2CqlMhKg&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;v=yML2CqlMhKg&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Auditions&lt;/b&gt; for speaking parts will be held on Thursday, September 5 from 3 pm to 4:30 pm. &amp;nbsp;We will be reading through the script in class, which you should bring to the audition. &amp;nbsp;We will all sit together in the Choir Room and take turns reading, so plan to stay the entire hour and a half so that you can read with more than one person. If you are auditioning for Harmonia, Discordio or Out-of-Tunio, you will need to sing the solo part for that character at the singing auditions which will be held immediately after the speaking auditions from 4:30-5:30 pm in the Choir Room. The music is in the back of the script, and you can watch the video to learn each part.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Honors Choir &lt;/b&gt;students will be selected in September. Wright State participants will be selected from the Show Choir; OMEA is open for any choral student (6-12) to audition. Auditions will be held sometime in September, dates TBD. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We will be starting a new after-school group this year, called &lt;b&gt;PURE GOLD&lt;/b&gt;. &amp;nbsp;This will be a Pop A Capella group that will focus on arranging and singing today&#39;s popular hits. Auditions will be announced next week, and will take place in mid- to late-September.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Choral Walk-Throughs &lt;/b&gt;are scheduled for Thursday, September 12 from 6-8 pm and Saturday, September 14 from 10 am to 2 pm. &amp;nbsp;All students should attend with a parent to pay fees, sign up to volunteer, be measured for costumes and speak with Ms. Snyder about this year&#39;s expectations and requirements. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Over the next week, I will be posting more information about upcoming auditions, a copy of the Walk-Through document and the updated Choral Handbook. &amp;nbsp;In the meantime, please don&#39;t hesitate to call or email me if you have questions.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
We will be talking about a lot more over the next few weeks, but know that this will be another great year, and I am really looking forward to making beautiful music together!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Love and music,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Ms. Snyder&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Soloists will be selected based on talent, vocal ability, style, charisma and preparedness.&amp;nbsp; Preference for soloists&amp;nbsp;will be given to students who have not previously performed a solo on a Pops concert.&amp;nbsp; I will be selecting 3 or 4&amp;nbsp;solo songs and students to perform in the ensembles&amp;nbsp;for &quot;Jesus at the Wheel&quot; and &quot;Walkin&#39; After Midnight.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You do not have to memorize the song for the audition, but it must be solidly prepared and professionally presented.&amp;nbsp; Remember -- I can always tell when you have not properly prepared!&amp;nbsp; If you can&#39;t be dedicated enough to prepare for the audition, how do I know that you will care enough about the performance to be fully prepared?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please select one of the following songs to prepare for your audition.&amp;nbsp; Find a good karaoke on youtube.com&amp;nbsp;to use for your audition.&amp;nbsp; You must audition with the karaoke.&amp;nbsp; If it&#39;s not in the right key, I can help you transpose it -- just ask!&lt;br /&gt;

Last weekend I was priviledged to direct several Unioto kids in the Chillicothe Civic Theatre&#39;s production of Oliver! by Lionel Bart at the Majestic Theatre:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Jansen Wilhelm, a 6th grader at Unioto,&amp;nbsp;did a&amp;nbsp;wonderful job in the title role.&amp;nbsp;Wow! See and hear Jansen online at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCJcR_4BlJw&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCJcR_4BlJw&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fagin&#39;s Gang of Thieves included Vivian Snyder (yes, she&#39;s mine), Abby Fisk and Logan and Lauren Betz&amp;nbsp;from the elementary..&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Workhouse Kids included Elaine Montgomery and the kids mentioned above. Watch and listen to &quot;Food, Glorious Food&quot; at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2J3dI4_6v8&amp;amp;feature=relmfu&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2J3dI4_6v8&amp;amp;feature=relmfu&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Katie McMahon (UHS Rhapsody and Concert Choir) played Charlotte Sowerberry.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;UHS Alum Ben Roark (Rhapsody, Class of 2012) played Noah Claypole.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;UHS Alum Haley Gray (Rhapsody, Class of 2012) was in the chorus and choreographed &quot;Oom-pah-pah.&quot;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;UHS Senior Randa Rossman (Rhapsody, Concert Choir) was the Stage Manager.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;UHS Alum Brie Lovensheimer (Rhapsody, Marching Shermans, Class of 2011) played clarinet in the orchestra.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Sherman Rhapsody&lt;/strong&gt; students need to mark their calendars for this year&#39;s Show Choir Camp, which is being held&amp;nbsp;Monday, August 6 through Thursday, August 9 from 10 am to 1 pm daily. We will meet in the UHS Choir Room every day.&amp;nbsp; Doors next to the Choir Room (off the Underclassmen Parking Lot) will be unlocked those days for your convenience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Camp attendance is&amp;nbsp;mandatory&lt;/strong&gt; for all students planning to be in Show Choir during the 2012-2013 school year. If you&#39;re not sure whether Show Choir will fit in your schedule, you should come to camp anyway so that you will be prepared if it works out in your favor!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During our 4 days together, we will work on new music for the coming year, get to know each other, discuss costumes, strategy and more. This will give us a much-needed &quot;leg up&quot; on the coming season.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;If you have a conflict with any day of camp,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:tsnyder@mail.gsn.k12.oh.us&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;please contact Ms. Snyder ASAP&lt;/a&gt; to discuss it!&amp;nbsp; If you just don&#39;t show up, you may be cut from the group. Unexcused absences are not cool, and are disrespectful to the Director and the other group members!&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7757911438817431183/posts/default/1520158518820271840'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7757911438817431183/posts/default/1520158518820271840'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://uniotosings.blogspot.com/2012/06/show-choir-camp-coming-in-august.html' title='Show Choir Camp Coming in August!'/><author><name>Tess Snyder</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12196657031994873701</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZFz-azdmeBxwmR3m0NQvmYnIKo5M7-UganPNPmhN1XrZX48qtFQjxxpOxdphJPszNmH3KDdn2C8cytTt06KmHgAEx1HAdDTzBj21rRL0k-D0mLg3qGPDXJsDre8yH/s220/tess3.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757911438817431183.post-3105743191776169442</id><published>2012-03-02T08:47:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-03-02T08:47:31.571-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Tickets on Sale for &quot;Anything Goes&quot;</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seatyourself.biz/unioto&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Online ticket sales&lt;/a&gt; start today for the spring musical, &quot;Anything Goes&quot; by Cole Porter, taking place at the Unioto High School Auditeria on March 23 and 24, 2012 at 7 pm.&amp;nbsp; Go to our page at&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seatyourself.biz/unioto&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Seat Yourself&lt;/a&gt;, where you can purchase tickets online with your credit card.&amp;nbsp; You can also purchase tickets via cash or check (make checks payable to Unioto High School) by downloading our ticket form (coming soon) and turning it into the Unioto Choral office or dropping it off at the Unioto High School front office.&lt;br /&gt;
