Ogden Arts Festival

Hi, Kids,

I was contacted and asked if JAKS would perform at the Ogden Arts Festival.  They would like us to present our performance in "flash mob" style.  Sounds fun to me.  I'd like to start with dialog and go into a song and dance.  Any suggestions?  We could do something from Millie, even the opening with Little Millie-that might be fun.  Or we could do the dialog before the Muzzy dance, or Nutty Cracker with the scene might be fun and work well as a flash mob.  Or we could do You can't stop the beat as a flash mob, but no dialog.  If you have any ideas, let me know. 

Also, if you are available the first Saturday in June. 

Jill

Annie schedule through Mar. 16

Dear JAKS Kids, 

I am attaching a copy of the Annie Schedule, and have included some of you who have expressed an interest in doing Annie.  I figured most of the dance rehearsals will be on Saturday, but we can use Performance Dance on Tuesdays so I included Tuesdays in the schedule as well. Please let me know if I can really include you in this production. 

As far as a second show, other than Annie is concerned, I decided to keep it on hold until September.  The September show will be as big as Millie and I encourage you to be a part of it and to start recruiting new talent as well.  We will start dance rehearsals for that production in the summer, just to get a jump on it. 

Thanks.
Jill
