News & Info From the District
Aladdin, Jr Casting Call
Hello Elementary Music Staff and Administration!
The Aladdin, Jr. team is really excited to include our districts’ young thespians in our upcoming performances. We need monkeys for our Prince Ali parade! Please help us by sending along the following form to parents interested in having their kid(s) participate in this show. https://forms.gle/uissnTJwtzFZpgHNA Each student will have a vocal workshop, two rehearsals, and one performance. It’s a minimal role with a minimal commitment, but is sure to make the audience go bananas! Thank you for your help in this!
Warmly,
