From Mrs. Holbrook

This is the same thing Mrs. Holbrook wrote in the comments section of another blog post.  I'm not sure everyone checks the comments, so I copied & pasted here.  ~ JLG


"Hi everyone! It's getting better everytime we go thru it. I saw a lot more animation today. It's looking really good. Here are some of my observations:
Tiny Tappers, when you march in for "Don't Say No" be careful not to stomp, you can march without stomping. Remember that you have tap shoes on and they make a lot of noise. Practice marching at home without stomping. 
Scene 3 was really great, but that scene is played way over at right stage so you need to remember not to turn your back to the left side audience.
Scene 9; way to speak out to the audience, Elisabeth M. Buddy, Coulter & Henry great projection. Evan, can you speak up a little louder? I love how you're trying to have a British accent! Sloane, I know you can speak louder than you have been. Sometimes your lines get lost. Angela, great job picking up lines!
Scene 11; Good voice projection Jordan & Christian. Addie, Brittney & Savanna, choose a more interesting freeze pose. Also, when you freeze there shouldn't be any movement, no swaying or twitching.
Scene 13: Good job Lydia H. I love what you're doing with your character. Keep it up. Edan, you missed your big moment in this scene. Go over the script again and see where your lines come in. 
Scene 17: Agents please try to put your papers in your coats somehow. It looks really sloppy to be throwing them on the floor. Also,you don't want to step on them or slip on the when you're dancing. Otherwise you are all doing very well with that dance!
Scene 18: Great job Kitty & Edith! Nice and loud. Krista, wait until you're all the way out from the green curtain to say you line.
In Act 2 on top of page 36 there were some missed lines. June-Sandra.
Scene 30; Hannah H maybe you should stand up when you say your line Not Professor Sullivan? I was sitting in the front row and couldn't see you or hear you. 

You all are doing so well but I would hate for the audience not to be able to hear your great acting. Keep up the good work! 

One more thing, do you think you could all really belt out those songs? There are 60+ of you up there on that stage. Our hair should be blowing in the wind from all your voices, and you all sound sooooo good. Let the whole building hear you. See you all on Thursday. :)"
