There will be an audition sign-up sheet in the hall across from the office in the Jr. High Building when we return from the Christmas break. Please come prepared to sing 16-32 bars of any song you choose that shows off your voice the best. This is about 30-60 seconds of music. You may bring a minus track, an accompanist, or use a karaoke version on YouTube (just make sure you know where to find it). Come early to allow time to fill out a quick application before your audition time. The call-back list will be posted Thursday evening by 8:00 PM on Mrs. Francis’ website. Call-backs will be Friday, January 19, from 1:30-4:30 PM. If you make the call back list, please come prepared to do some movement, read from a script and sing. The final Cast List will be posted by 8:00 PM Friday.

PLEASE NOTE: If you make the cast, there is a mandatory Parent Meeting on Monday, January 22nd @ 7pm in the music room at the Jr. High.

Rehearsal Days are Monday and Wednesday 3:15-5:00 pm and Friday 1:15-3:30 pm. There is a required participation fee of $45. The musical will be performed May 3-5, 2018. Hope to see you there!

VOLUNTEERING AND ASSOCIATED HOURS – We are not using signup.com this year. POET will be using the new RAPTOR system that the school has for Checking In/Out. Until that is available, we are collecting volunteers the old fashioned way with the volunteer interest form at the POET desk or emailing POET members directly. PLEASE KEEP TRACK OF YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL HOURS UNTIL WE CAN USE THE RAPTOR SYSTEM. There are lots of opportunities to volunteer, so please read the Qué Pasa announcements that are sent out every Friday to your email and also on Facebook. Thank you!
