Congrats!! Regionals results!

Huge kudos to our friends at South Eugene, who came to regionals with a LOT of very well prepared pieces and were rewarded by being represented on the stage in every category but two: Mime (where they didn't have an entry) and Small Group Music (where Eagle Point and South Albany managed close them out). Their most dominant field was Duo Music, where they swept both the Finalist honors and the Showcase Qualifier honors.

On the Troupe #358 front, two of our Duo Comedic (Experienced) entries were honored at the event. Spencer Funk and Brianna Gowland, competing with a scene from the upcoming Taming of the Shrew, were Regional Finalists. Rachel Warren and Kayla Jackson, competing with an excerpt of the short play The Blueberry Hill Accord, had the second best score of the category and will audition for the State Showcase in mid April, again in Salem.

Misc...

• BE OFFBOOK. Lacking in this area will result in a compromise of future performances...



• Have your converse shoes by Wednesday the 30th at the latest (Jordan = red, Sam = Purple, Zach = Blue, and Sydnie (although you don't need them yet) = green.)



• Be prepared food-wise. Pack snacks, or run out very quickly and eat BEFORE REHEARSAL. Only water while we rehearse.
  


• Don't be late! We're gonna use every second we can get for this.
