Glee Club/Glee Team Male Costume





There are three steps for new students. Just check the link below.

Returning Students
We think most of our returning male singers will need a new shirt. The sleeves on the costume last show were way too long. We have some suggestions below. If everything fits you should only need to buy the shirt if you are returning. Be sure to try on your shoes. Feet grow a lot at this age.

P.S. And yes you read that right. You can turn in your solo audition for the January show on Saturday if that helps you out.



Wednesday, December 2, 2015

Here's the details on solos for the show




Who can audition?

Any member of Glee Club or Glee Team.

What's the song?

It is called Dance Evolution. It has 15 short songs within the medley and all will be solos or small groups.


How do I audition?

1. Email us a YouTube link of you singing the solos you want or record it on your phone and email us a video for each solo you are interested in. The email might work since the solos are short.

2. If you can't do a video, create an audio on you phone and message it to us at 949-241-2667.

Can I choose more than one song in the medley?

Sure, as long as it is a solo for your group. The yellow songs are for Glee Club and the brown songs are for Glee Team.


What are the rehearsal requirements?

You'll have to be willing to stay late at the combined rehearsal and the dress rehearsal.


How do I learn the song?

We can help. Here is the list of songs in the medley with starting times for each song. First decide which songs you want to sing for us and then start learning...

List of Solos
Words to the Songs


Here is part 1 and part 2 for the teaching track for Dance Evolution.
part 1 demo
part 2 demo


Here is the minus track for your audition performance.
part 1 minus
part 2 minus

When is the deadline?
We would like to have all recordings by Friday, December 4th. If you can turn it in before that, even better.

How do I increase my chances?

1. Send a video so we can see you perform and take it the top with enthusiasm. If you don't feel a little funny, you probably aren't smiling enough or have enough energy.
2. Learn the song with the teaching track but perform with the minus track that does not include the singer.
3. Memorize the words. It is short - you can do it!
4. Turn it in before the deadline.
5. Look right at the camera and have fun!

Costumes

Wear your Glee t-shirt with longer shorts. No booty shorts please. Wear closed toe shoes for rehearsal and fair. Tennis shoes are ideal.

Hair

Girls please have your hair out of your eyes. Short bangs are fine but we want to see your eyes even when you dance.

What to Bring

Water bottle and a word sheet if you came to summer camp this week. Bring your child's ticket if you already have it. If you don't have it yet, pick up under your name at gate 4 1/2 at 10am. Bring quiet entertainment. You can bring electronics but there is no way for us to keep them safe. We will only be watching over students, not phones or tablets.

Where to Meet

Meet at the Plaza Pacifica Stage at 10:15am. Please plan to leave the Lake Forest area around 9:00am to give time to park and walk over. Parents are welcome to drop off or watch the rehearsal.

Carpooling

If people want to carpool from Glee that is an option. Meet at 9:00am at Glee if you want to coordinate with other parents. We will be going earlier but that might be a good way to meet other parents. I know there are two parents that are meeting at Glee tomorrow morning so there should be room to share.

Parking

Parking is cash only $10. I would park in C, D, E, or F. ...... You will be entering gate 4 1/2. It is quite a ways to walk from the gate to the stage.

Dates / Times

Saturday, June 13th - Last Glee Team rehearsal for the season 9-11am


Monday, June 15th - All Students at Orange Lutheran

Because the rehearsal and the show are different days,

3:30-4:20 Pre-Glee (all Pre-Glee parents are encouraged to stay for the hour)
3:45 For all class Presidents that can show up early to help with check-in
4:00-7:00 All students, Glee Club, Glee for All and Glee Team
4:00-8:00 Special Musical Numbers

Tuesday, June 16th - The Show

5:45 Class Presidents come to help set up check-in
6:00 Call Time for all students and chaperones
6:30 House opens
7:00 Show


Costumes


Boys! Wear only vest, shirt, pants. You need dress shoes. Do NOT wear tennis shoes. You also need BLACK socks. Please take a picture of your dress shoes and text or email Karstin@gleemusicacademy.com

Girls! If you are wearing the smaller of the two dresses you can probably still get it in time. Click here for details. Be sure to take measurements and call them.

What Color Tights?

Pre-Glee and Glee Club wear white tights. 

Glee for All and Glee Team wear black tights.

Dress Itchy?

If your daughter it concerned about her dress being itchy, you can wear a NUDE half-tee. See their website at http://www.halftee.com. They have adult and girl sizes. Most girls are worried about under their arms being itchy so bras don't do the trick. Please make sure that all bras are white or nude. No RAZOR BACKS or colored bras. This seems to be a concern with the younger girls.

We need Chaperones!

Become a chaperone! We'll even give you a free ticket for the show if you can help us at the show. If there are two of you, we might even be able to have you sit together if that is an issue. You can sit with us during the rehearsal and/or the show.

Click here for more details.

We Found Glee Jackets!


We had a hard time finding Glee Jackets for all sizes. Good news - we have the vendor that carries children and adult sizes. The jackets are about $55 but we are only asking that you pay $50. Please bring a check to the rehearsal and give to Karen or bring the check this week in an envelope to your next Glee class.

I will be sending another email tomorrow with the details on how to choose pink or black and what name you want on the front. Here are the names of those that will earn the privilege of buying a Glee jacket (formally called pink jackets).
