Overview of the
|
Thank you to our sponsors!!! |
The Academy Stars and Clowns are the ambassadors for the Academy for Academics and Arts. Directed by Mrs. Stricklin and accompanied by Christopher Joel Carter with assistance from Mrs. Atkins, these sixth, seventh and eighth grade students dazzle audiences with a lively song and dance presentation. The groups’ eclectic variety of music appeals to audiences of all ages. Membership in this group gives students more than a performance experience. The personal commitment by a student to be a part of the group, audition, attend all the rehearsals, care for costumes, learn theatrical make-up techniques and perform for the public teaches lifelong skills that transfer to academic success and career opportunities. In addition to proficiency in song and dance, the students learn problem solving skills, interpersonal skills, communication skills, poise, and self-confidence. Students also promote the arts to their peers and to the community.
|
Students will need an audition song and sheet music. The song should be 1:15 - 1:30 minutes long.
|
Digital sheet music is not free. There are sites out there that may be cheaper, but you can expect to spend $4-$7.
|
Wear something comfortable to auditions to learn a simple dance combination for the dance auditon. You do not have to prepare anything for this part of the audition. We will teach you everything you need to know.
We will see you there!!!
