I’ve been privileged to have been involved since year 1. Once again, I am working on this in the capacity of musical director. We’ve been working lately on recording the opening number with the orchestra and the students from the various schools. You can listen to the instrumental and vocal track here. A few nights ago the orchestra started to rehearse the actor, actress and production numbers for the six nominated schools. What is really neat for me is the fact that Emmaus High School’s production of Aida received 14 nominations, including outstanding orchestra. If you remember, I directed the orchestra for the performances. Also, I’m really looking forward to once again conducting their production number at the ceremony (and in rehearsal this coming Tuesday). For our 5th year, we involved a student, Ryan O’Connell from Saucon Valley High School, in arranging the opening. In addition, Ryan and I will be presenting the awards for outstanding performance for actor and actress. And to top it all off, I’ve rented a really nice tuxedo for the event! I am hoping to capture some picture of the upcoming week and post them on a new photoblog! Keep checking in! Theatre Randy 2007-05-19T03:59:00-05:00 http://www.randyz.com/index.php/personal/happiness/ One of the blogs that I subscribe to is The Happiness Project. There are definitely some interesting, thought-provoking posts here. A recent post: The importance of knowing what you LIKE to do, and then doing it, really made me think. How often do we do things because we think we are supposed to “like” doing them? Do we fell guilty for “liking” something just because it’s not “mainstream” enough? Unfortunately, I think that is me some of the time. I need to do a better job of just being me, and not worrying about whether “me” is mainstream enough for the rest of the world. Do what you like because it makes you happy, not because it’s what others think you should like. “What’s fun for other people may not be fun for you--and vice versa.” General Randy 2007-05-05T01:39:00-05:00 http://www.randyz.com/index.php/personal/exercise_diet/ Exercise & Diet Randy 2007-04-29T14:09:00-05:00 http://www.randyz.com/index.php/personal/blackberry/ Tech Randy 2007-04-29T13:58:00-05:00
