Annie Casting

 

Auditions for our winter musical, Annie, Jr. will be held on Thursday, September 5th during the following time slots:

 

 

2:30 to 4 pm - All female roles

 

 

4 to 5 pm - All male roles

 

 

The holding tank will be in the art room. All students must be picked up through the back entrance. You must come in to collect your student and sign them out.

 

 

Because we are on a tight schedule and only have room for so many students, please make sure you pick up your student on time at the end of their time slot.

 

 

If your son wants to audition, they must come back during the 4 to 5 pm slot. They cannot stay in the holding tank until their audition time due to space. If this is an issue, please let us know ASAP and we will accommodate as much as possible. You can notify me by e-mail at amanda.taylor@glasgow.kyschools.us

 



Aaron Copland

For the last two weeks, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students have been learning about the life and musical compositions of Aaron Copland. Copland is our featured composer of the month for August. He was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1900. He main inspiration for his compositions was the greatness of America. He wrote music during some very difficult times for our country - the main one being the Great Depression. He used American folklore, hymns, jazz, folk tunes, and cowboy songs as inspiration for his pieces. During his lifetime, he composed music for three ballets - Appalachian Spring, Rodeo, and Billy the Kid. The students have listened to excerpts from all three over the past few weeks.
