Finale

Tonight at 8pm marks the class of 2014's last performance of A Year with Frog and Toad. Ending this journey is bittersweet. We would like to thank everyone for their support, love, and applause. 

It has truly been a pleasure working with my talented classmates on bringing the story of Frog and Toad to life. I hope that you all enjoyed watching us as much as we enjoyed performing. The memories we have made during the past month are sure to stay with us forever. 

Ain't it the troot!?

With love,
 Rachel

Two days to go!

My apologies for the lack of updates recently, as it's been all hands on deck for the seniors as we finish the sets. Both houses have been painted and are looking bright and colorful! Our snow scene looks great, the only part left to do is to create the sled. The Christmas decorations, including a small tree, have been gathered. And we have a mushroom thanks to Mrs. Gallo! 

Frog and Toad look dapper in their costumes and the birds are ready to take flight in their tutus (see below).



Turtle and the lizards darn snazzy time-period outfits, while the mice are clad in metallic silver. Thank you to the costume crew and the parents for all of their hard work!

Our first full dress-rehearsal was a success, minus a few hiccups with scene changes and song cues. The audience laughed with Toad, empathized with Young Frog and shared in Snail's liberation. Tonight is our second dress rehearsal and I'm sure we will step it up!

Today we are focusing on specific numbers; fixing any missed notes or steps. We are also tidying up any parts of the set that are not finished.

A HUGE thank you to Mr. Fallu who has spent almost every free moment helping us and the pit run through the songs. We really appreciate it!!

Two days away from our first performance! AHHH!!!
