38. COMPETITION RESULTS and more

We had mixed results from the competition on Saturday, December 15, 2007. I'm proud of each of you for competing and for the progress you've made. Sometimes, though, other student competitors are also making progress, so your standings don't improve and even sink.

Here's how we did:

Mime: Jimmy & Victor--1st place
Solo Musical: Anna--1st place; Mariel--3rd place
Duet acting: Anna & Mariel--3rd place.

I have your ribbons, but haven't yet received the written evaluations. We can review those when I get them, and use them to do better next time.

Victor and Mariel have each crossed over the threshold line for being a Thespian (10 troupe points). Yay! Jimmy is making progress (and gets another point for watching SCROOGE!). With participation in the final two competitions, I think the goal will be reached and all of you will be inducted into the Junior Thespian troupe (a prerequisite for attending the ITS Festival in Lincoln, if you win at the competitions).

NEXT COMPETITION: February 2, 2008 at 1:30 PM at MHS.
