What's the play?

For weeks, Mrs. Zak would not announce what musical will be done this year, even when audition time rolled around. So, I thought, "Gee I'm auditioning for a musical, and I don't even know what it is." There were some ideas floating around. James Getchell thought we were doing "Oklahoma" My dad thought we were doing "Little Shop of Horrors".

But both were wrong.

At auditions, Director Laura Yoerg, told me that the show was going to be either "Mame", "Into the Woods", or "The Sound of Music". Later on, at call-backs she said that "Into the Woods" won. Then parts were cast. I thought I'd be playing the Mysterious Man, but I will be playing the Wolf. Aaron Boyt got the part of the Mysterious Man. I was sort of disappointed, after watching the video. While the Wolf does have a great solo song, he's killed 10 minutes into the show. Oh well, that's how it goes.

After this show, my theatre days are over.

Until next time.

Uncommon Sense Issue 2

So now the second Issue of Uncommon Sense is out. I managed to get an article in about Laura Fischer getting into the Westminster Honors Chorus. However I was resentful because I auditioned too, but didn't get in. Oh well. Lots audition, but only 10 of each range get in.

Anyhow I had photos from earlier events mentioned in the paper, and an new question of the month.

"What kind of people read Uncommon Sense?"

Answers included:
Amber Atkinson: Uncommon People
Ms. Zeger: Highly intelligent and Motivated students
Travis Eddens: People with no common sense.
Joe O'Bruba: Development Officers.
Rob Frew: People with no loves at all.

That's it for now.

Untill next time...

Homecoming week 2002.

One of my all time favorite weeks at QCHS is homecoming week. The one week where you can go to school dressed up, and down. Concluding with a dance and a lock-in at the Sewickley YMCA.

Heres a day by day synopsis:

Sunday:
The bonfire. I wasn't going to go, because of a project due in Liturature class, the next day. Oh well, I finished it, so I went. It was nice and warm. They also announced the homecoming court. I didn't get in, so I was disappointed. Oh well.

Monday:
Pajama day. I wore slippers, and sweatpants to school today. I also brought a Scooby Doo stuffed animal, which got massacured. J.J. Ulizio said that I should hav known that that would happen.

Tuesday:
Crazy Hair Day. I just put some green in my hair. But some people wore wigs, some put beads and ribbons in their hair. The list goes on and on.

Wednesday:
Nationality Day. We had students dress in all sorts of outfits of different countries.

Thursday:
Halloween Day I dressed up as Danny Zuko. Unfortunately the results were disasterous. I got a detention for my costume. Why? Because it consisted of blue jeans, and the rule of the week was "No blue Jeans!"

Damn!

Friday:
School Spirit Day. I wore my Quigley JErsey, that I sometimes wear at sporting events. There was also a friendly competition, that day. Here, musical chairs, was just as much a contact sport as football. Then there was the relay. I had Krystal Gaudino, holding my ankles in the wheelbarrow part of the race. Then the pie eating contest was nasty. It was a lot of fun, even though the pesty Juniors won.

Saturday:
The Dance and Lock In. It was fun. The theme for the dance was "Hollywood". I wore a MGM studios t-shirt and a cowboy hat to the dance. There the homecoming Queen and King, Jen Ribar, and Kevin Cappatt, were crowned. ANd the dance proceded. During the dance, I managed a slow dance with Alexis Moses, and Laura McAllister, and we had fun.

Later, we all went to the YMCA for a lock-in. Despite our tiredness, we all played around on a sticky wall, went swimming, played basketball, and many other activities. Finally at 5:00 am, we were released. I went home groggy and cold, and went straight to bed.
