Since we can’t have a formal concert this semester, we wanted to plan something that would allow our students to informally show some of the things they have been working on.
In addition, we want all of our singers to have the opportunity to be featured in the final scene of the music video project the older students have been working on this semester. The song is “You Will Be Found” from Dear Evan Hansen, and the video will end with a scene that shows all the members of our program who have “found” a place in our program. Our goal is to show all ages, from all walks of life- a true reflection of who are singers are. Singers should dress in something that is representative of who they are outside of CoroRio/MRC….either through an activity (dancer, band student, skater, tennis player, gamer, etc.) or career path. Feel free to add a small prop to help distinguish your activity/career (ex. a medical professional might wear scrubs or a stethoscope, a skater might be carrying his board). If you don’t have a specific activity or career to represent, wear solid color clothing that does not have graphics or print on it, preferably in layers (coat, vest, scarf, etc.)
Here is a picture that gives an idea of what we are aiming for:
NOTE: The rain date for this event will be Saturday, November 14th at 9:00 am.

Directions: You can enter Dub Patton Recreational Center (at Arkabutla Lake) into your GPS, but it won’t take you to exactly the right place- its a mile or so away from our pavilion. Here is a link to our exact location: Dub Patton Pavillion/Picnic Shelter
