Our Musical Theatre Cast On-Stage

And here they are!  The campers from our Musical Theatre week singing their big finale!  Enjoy the rest of the summer and we hope to see you all back with us next year for another fun-filled, hamming-it-up, making new friends performing arts camp at Summerside on the Hill.  

Performance Day!

JULIA - Today is the last day of the last week.  I'm so sad.  Well at least I'm coming next year.  I had so much fun and I can't wait for the show!

ANNA (Counselor) - Hi this is Anna.  Nathan and I are writing together.  We are currently watching Beauty and the Beast, one of my favorite Disney movies.  This week has been great and has gone by so quickly.  Everyone's dances and songs are coming together so well.  I am so proud of all of the campers.

NATHAN - ... all of that in one day!  All of the dances are going very well and the songs, too.  All the counselors are really nice: Karah, Anna, Victoria, Kingsley, and Melissa.

What do I wear for the Showcase?

Campers performing in "Ev'rybody Wants To Be A Cat" should wear red, orange and/or yellow.

Campers performing in "Anything You Can Do" should wear yellow, green, and/or blue.

NATALIE - Today, we practiced doing both our dances and songs.  It is very, very fun!  I can't wait until Friday!

Week Four, Day Four

We are very busy preparing for our production.  What a fun and talented group, we have!  Our show is tomorrow, Friday, at 2 PM in the Upper School Auditorium.

 

Dance Workshop with Special Guest Choreographer, Nicole Gerenyi

Today, we continued to practice and learn our music and choreography for Friday's showcase.  We also participated in a dance workshop with Nicole Gerenyi.  She taught us thirteen different dance steps, and then we got to use those steps to choreograph our own original dances!

NATHAN - This is the best performing arts camp in the whole wide world.  Great lunch.  Great classes.

ELIZA - Today Ms. Nicole came.  She is a dancer.  Ms. Nicole taught us a couple of moves used in musical theatre.  Then we used those moves to make up a dance in groups.  It was a lot of fun.  I loved learning today.

TREY - I liked today because we got to makeup our own dance moves to "You Can't Stop the Beat," from Hair Spray.

SANGEETHA - Today I learned thirteen new moves and I did a new dance that me and one counselor and my friends did.

I had a fun day.  My counselors are very nice.  I learned lots of stuff, like a new song with a dance included.

JULIA:

Today is Week Four, Day One dance to musical theatre!  For the show on Friday I'm doing the song, "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better" and then everybody's doing "Superfragilisticexpialidocious."  I'm so excited!

ANDREW:
Today my favorite time of day was dancing in the dance room.  It was fun because learning new steps gets me happy.  But it was sooo hot, and that I did not like so much.

SKYLAR:

Hello, and I am Skylar.  And today I had fun at Springside.  What we did today is so far we danced and sang and we watched a movie.  I had a great day today!

ELOISE:

Hello.  I am someone.  Someone in the Springside Drama Camp.  But you don't have to know who I am.  I'll just tell you about the stuff at the camp.  Two groups are split up and they are doing different songs and dances.  The younger group is doing a song from "Aristocats," which is a musical.  Of course, it is about cats.  The younger group is also doing a dance to that song.  The old group is doing a song from "Annie Get Your Gun."  They're doing a dance to that, as well.  I can already tell this is going to be an interesting week!!

ELIZA:

Today I had so much fun!  First we learned the song we are doing in groups.  Our song is, "Anything You Can Do."  We learned the whole song already!  Then we went to the dance room to learn the dance to "Anything You Can Do."  Although we didn't finish we had a lot of fun.  I am so excited to learn "Superfragilisticexpialidocious!"
