Pirates! The Musical

1. Pirates! The Musical • Dear Students and Parents of 5th Graders, • I want to express how very proud I am of our talented students who tried out for speaking parts! It takes a LOT of courage to get up in front of your peers and perform, so bravo to all who auditioned! Unfortunately, there are only a limited number of speaking parts, and I assure you, the competition was tough! In the event that your student was not assigned a speaking part, PLEASE do not let it discourage them from attending the program. Every voice is vital to a successful performance, and the chorus/support crew is just as important than the leads are! • Congratulations to the following students who have been cast in the following speaking parts: • Stowaway: Sebastian Sanchez • Stowaway Understudy*/No Beard 2: Destiny Sanderson • King Of The High C’s: Jacob James • King of The High C’s Understudy*/Pirate 2: Noah Smith • Blackbeard: Billy Harman Prisoner 1: Ryan Farmer No Beard 3: Meg Lewis • Bluebeard: KyriccBorgmannPrisoner 2: Kevin Rodriguez No Beard 4: Rachel Bryant • Yellowbeard: Karla TejedaPrisoner 3: Jara Davis Pirate 1: Selena Delgado • Whitebeard: Annie Hawkins Prisoner 4: Maddie Andrews Pirate 2: Noah Smith • Greenbeard: Sean Woods Prisoner 5:Ben Brewer Pirate 3: Cierra Hernandez • Redbeard: Anna Morgan Prisoner 6: Savannah Keller Pirate 4: Trae Harmon • Purplebeard: Natalie Brewer No Beard 1: Haley Cason • Brownbeard: Celeste Claro No Beard 2: Destiny Sanderson • *Understudy parts are cast in the event that the lead becomes ill and cannot attend. • **Non-Speaking Prisoners: Max Alford, Annalisa Arredondo, Rachel Bryant, • Zacurian Butler, Selena Delgado, Daniel Diaz, & Keaton Nelson • Practice tracks and scripts can be found on the CSES website  Faculty & Staff  Music/Art – Katie Porter  Pirates! The Musical • Remember, “Pirates! The Musical” will be performed on Thursday May 10th 2012 in the CSES cafeteria. The performance will begin at 6:30 pm. Students with speaking parts need to arrive at 6:00, and all other performing students need to arrive and check in with me (Mrs. Porter) no later than 6:15. • Students are asked to dress according to their character: • Bearded Pirates: make a beard in the appropriate color with pirate-like clothing • Stowaway: a polo shirt and jeans – s/he wants to be a pirate, but isn’t just yet! • King Of The High C’s: a captain’s outfit, or something similar to an Elvis costume • Prisoners: “dirty,” ragged clothes, in gray, black, or brown • All other pirates & the Chorus of No-Beards: (non-speaking parts) ideas include eye patch, hooks for hands, “skull caps,” baggy pants with patches, blouse-type shirts, etc. • Again, ALL students should be proud of their audition performance and excited about participating in the program as it is one of their last experiences of their elementary "career," and I hope you will praise them for their bravery and talent, and encourage them to continue on their musical paths. If you have any questions, you can email me at kporter@ems-isd.net or call 817-847-8700 ext.2154. • Bravo, and on with the show! • Katie Porter • Fine Arts • Comanche Springs Elementary
