Today we will be starting both the choir and the acting troupe! We are so excited!!
For those willing to help with the choir, we will be having a short meeting at 12:30 pm right before choir starts. We will be handing out folders for the youth to use here in class. Here is a link to access all the lyrics for the songs for this semester. (I will send a link with the background music and practice tracks to listen to later.)
We will be doing some warm-ups, a small "get-to-know-you" activity and then run through most of our songs so we can get a feel for what we are doing and how this group with operate.
For those who let me know ahead of time they would be gone, please review the songs and lyrics with your youth. There are a few adaptations to the songs that I have made (like replacing the curse word in "The Other Side" from The Greatest Showman) so please have the youth review the actual lyrics when they go over it with the background music. Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" also has many adaptations and I have adapted ours to suit our audience better, so that will also be noted in the song lyrics.
The song list will be complete by tomorrow, so I will post links then.

ACTING TROUPE
Normally I will do these on separate posts, but am just going to shoot this one out for today with both groups included, as they do not overlap other than being part of the same parent organization :D.
We will be going over the songs today, following along with the performance tracks so we can become familiar with how that works. We will also be reviewing the opening and closing scene with staging. We will do one read through as well as have some exercises/activities to help with our acting abilities.
Looking forward to seeing y'all soon!!
