ONE HIT WONDERS
Directed by Daniel Schraer, Assisted by Jordan Graham
Rehearses: Tuesdays from 5:15 - 8:15pm
First Rehearsal: January 23rd 2018
This is one of the most fun shows we’ve ever done, no joke. We’ll include as many “One Hit Wonders” as we can, like “Take On Me”, “Come On Eileen”, “Video Killed The Radio Star”, “My Sharona”, “99 Red Balloons”, “Tubthumping” and a ton more. When students see this show at the end of the season, they ALWAYS say they wish they’d done it after all.
EPIC ALBUM: NIRVANA’S NEVERMIND
Directed by Adam West
Rehearses: Wednesdays from 6:00pm -8:00pm
First Rehearsal: January 24th 2018
Could this be the most important record of the last 30 years? When this album exploded, it changed everything the music industry thought it knew and inspired a million new garage bands. This is essential!
SONGWRITING/RECORDING
Directed by Tyler Ward, Assisted by Sarah Linton
Rehearses: Thursdays from 5:15pm-8:15pm
First Rehearsal: January 25th 2018
Students spend their rehearsals writing, arranging and practicing original songs. At the end, they'll go to a studio and make a record! This is primarily for students who have been at the school for a while and are pretty far along on their instruments. This group will have a smaller cap (around 10) and members need approval from their teacher and music director to join. The registration fee will be higher because of the added costs of studio rental. Details to come.
DARK SIDE OF THE MOON +OTHER PINK FLOYD FAVORITES
Directed by Josh Smith, Assisted by Tyler Ward
Rehearses: Saturdays from 11am-2pm
First Rehearsal: January 27th 2018
Dark Side is one of great albums in rock history. This is a really challenging piece of music, even for an adventurous band like Pink Floyd. This whole record connects, so it feels like one big song, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This music demands careful listening and dynamic playing but the results are magical.
JACK WHITE
Directed by Araby Harrison, Assisted by Niko Sitaras
Rehearses: Saturdays from 2:00PM-5:00PM
First Rehearsal: January 27th 2018
This is a tribute to all the amazing bands Jack White has ever been in! Of course this means The White Stripes, but also includes The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather, The Go, Loretta Lynn, and his solo records! The songs are great and it’s filled with gadgets for pedalboard nerds. This show rules!!
