Practise With This Link



Hello again Les Mis Cast!

We found rehearsal CDs with the tracks for Les Mis, which will match the scores that you get on Monday at the movie viewing.  Please visit this google drive link to listen to the music LOTS over the summer!  Please follow along with the music to the best of your ability, be aware of who sings each line, practice any solos that you may have, and so on.  Please remember that there are MANY solos which have not yet been determined.  It is VERY important that you get this music into your ears and heads!

See You Monday, June 27th

Hello Les Mis Cast!

We will be meeting in the choir room at 9AM on Monday, June 27 to watch the movie / musical Les Mis!  This will be a great way for you to get to know the story line and music, if you are not already familiar with these.  Please bring a pen, as you will be working on an assignment while you watch (we usually give one over the summer, but in this case, you will have time on the morning of the viewing to complete the assignment).  Since the movie is quite lengthy, you can plan to be at the school until 12 or 12:30. 

During our time together, we will also:
    -distribute your music scores
    -give instructions for how to sign up for the blog, so that every time an update is made to the blog, you will receive a notification
    -answer any questions you have about the musical

We really encourage you to become very familiar with the music over the summer (consider purchasing a CD from Amazon.ca, listen to the tracks on YouTube, and so on).  Since this musical is sung throughout, the more you know the music before September, the easier we will be able to rehearse, get onto the stage, and bring things together. 

We look forward to seeing you on Monday and working on this musical with you!
