Possible Rehearsal Schedule for the Social

I would like to kick off rehearsals for the Social this Saturday March 18. Also, I have had only a few requests for solo numbers and have only heard from a few of you regarding the Social on May 20. I have a couple of big numbers planned and need dancers and strong harmony singers.  Everyone is invited, but I would like to hear from you. If you have any questions about the following schedule or conflicts, please text me (801) 510-8414. Thanks.

Saturday March 18 Dance-Girls only- Under the Sea 10:00-11:30

Jill’s House there will be boys in this but they have a different part and a separate rehearsals

Saturday March 18 Singers with strong ability to harmonize 11:30-1:00

Jill’s House I will add more singers to this group after we have a strong core.

I will be out of town the weekend of the 25th so there won’t be any rehearsal, but we will resume the following weekend on April 1-

Also, I would like to have all of the girls in Under the Sea in sparkly dance costumes-like some of the costumes we used in Emerald City- But they can be red, blue, green, yellow, orange, hot pink-I have a few more in colors other than blue or green, but look around and see if you have anything we can use. Thanks.

Jaks ~ May 20th Social

May 20, 2017 Social Event at Jim’s

Dear Friends of JAKS,

I had two people make suggestions for themes for the benefit concert and the Social.  Interestingly, they both had the same idea- Disney.  It must be a sign.  So, I did some research and found that there is a lot of Disney that I have ignored or forgotten, and some I never heard.  And, although my first reaction was more no than yes- not being a huge fan of a lot of Disney for live performances, it turns out I was wrong about that and I warmed up to using Disney as a theme.  I decided to try it out at the social, learn some new ensemble numbers and possibly perform them at the benefit- and maybe even go all Disney for the benefit as well.

I have chosen the ensemble numbers I would like to have JAKS perform, and will choose solo and duet numbers based on auditions, so if you have a song you would like to audition let me know. 

The ensemble numbers are:

I Won’t Say I’m In Love: Lead singer and 5 girl background singers and dancers

Trashin’ the Camp:  Full Cast -4 main singers– Some cast members on percussion, main dancers, and ensemble dancers and singers

Under the Sea: Lead vocal, Ensemble singers and dancers, main dancers

Cruisin for a Bruisin:  2 Lead vocalists, full cast-ensemble dancers and singers

And From Disney’s Newsies: Medley-Seize the Day and Carrying the Banner. Strong vocal harmonies and strong dancers.  (full cast-vocals)

All of these numbers will require rehearsal, some will need new choreography.  We should start this month. 

Let me know if you are interested- As always, Alumni and new cast members are welcome to participate. And I am interested in your schedules so I can plan rehearsals efficiently. 

Thanks.  Jill
