Click here for the rehearsal schedule for the final half term!  Please check it carefully- we have put in a lot of extra rehearsals as well as costume calls, band rehearsals and other bits and pieces.  We have been very accommodating about your other commitments up until this point, but from now on, Seussical needs to come first.  Tallulah, please go and see Miss Shepherd on Monday some time, she has a part for you!

Some changes to the rehearsal schedule. Wednesday lunch Schmitz and Cadets in music block. Thursday after school full cast in Music Block.   The rehearsal on Monday 28th May has been cancelled . Please use this time to learn your lines and harmonies ready for a run of Act 2 on Thursday 31st. If you have lost your costume letter you must speak to Mrs Rowlands urgently. Here is The People versus Horton which will be helpful for tomorrow's rehearsal:

You will need this for tomorrow's rehearsal.  I can't find the right version of The Military so you will have to learn that from music!

Well done everyone for today's rehearsals.  It's starting to sound and look really good.  Please keep working hard.    Here are the videos for  Here on who and It's Possible.   It's all about these versions so get learning!  

Here is the video for you to watch, listen and learn. The only difference is the words in Part 4. Please be careful.

Happy New Year! Click here to download a copy of the rehearsal schedule until Easter. There may be extras but we will let you know in advance. Please make sure you know the songs in advance (as in knowing the tune, not all the harmonies!) and that you arrived as prepared as you can. Make sure you continue to check blogs and twitter to keep up to date. See you soon!

The Spotify tracks do not match up to the score, but some of these YouTube versions do. As we learn the big numbers, I will check these videos and if they match the score, I will then blog them. Please do not learn things from Spotify (although it is useful for getting an idea of each song). Here is the opening number. Get ready for Monday!
