2. Memorize pages 1-20 by Sunday, January 6 at 2PM - down to the ensemble chant
This was a difficult decision. Accents need to be perfected - no NY or Brooklyn accents. Listen to You Tube accent lessons. We will have Polish accent tapes arriving after the new year. I have Italian CD's now.
Marie and Louis need to be Italian. Nate is Polish. We need to ask Mr. Freeman about other nationalities.
I need pictures of steel mills and what we might build for the mill itself. Things to attach to pylons and ladders.

ReplyDeleteWhoop Whoop! Another year of tryouts behind us guys! My last high school one ever actually....sad day :( oh well though! Let's make this season count and make a trip to Austin (knocks on wood) for those who have never gone before! Let the family bonding begin again and Hannah start falling asleep once more! Oh how I've missed the fights and hugs and laughs and late nights. And the bus rides and conversations and everything else we do! Love all of you guys! 2013 OAP Season here we come!
